Winery and vineyards

Night harvest of all varieties except Grenache old vines, Carignan old vines and Muscat of Alexandria old vines.

The reason for preferring to pick the grapes at night is due to the low temperatures. This way, the grapes arrive at the winery, with approximately 9ºC. When harvesting during the day, we do in the early morning (6am-11) or late afternoon (5-8pm). We thus achieve energy savings and slow down the enzymatic processes.

Use of a peristaltic pump: The use of this peristaltic pump ensures a very gentle treatment of the grape, without crushing or breaking it.

Truncated conical fermentation tank: The truncated conical shape of the tanks facilitates the management of the cap (solid parts in suspension, which remain in the upper part, floating on the must). Delastage is easier achieved and vinification process makes better sense.

Hydraulic vertical basket presses: This type of presses, which are like those used in the past, do not break the skin or crush it, thus obtaining a press wine of the highest quality. On the contrary, it must be taken into account that a much lower yield is obtained than with other types of press and the work carried out is greater.These presses are equipped with a computer that allows to control times and pressures.

Experimental vats: They are used for the study of the different experiments carried out in the field, we do micro vinification here, of different clones, varieties or cultivation techniques.
