Vine training, Handling and Harvesting

Trellis driving system, which takes more advantage of the natural orientation of the vineyard and facilitates its care and management. The harvest is done by hand, with the first rays of the sun, selecting only healthy and well-ripe bunches. Using boxes with a maximum of 15 kg (33 pounds) to avoid breaking the grapes and for them to start fermenting early.

Grapes are harvested only when phenols are fully matured, which are the most valuable components found in the seeds and peels, and also the sugars and acids located mainly in the pulp.
