Flor and Samuel, who help care for our grapes, gather their family members in preparation for harvest. With an expected high of 28°C/82° F and humidity of 69% in Azpitia today, it will be sultry. To avoid the heat, we start picking grapes at 5:00AM, when the average temperature is 20°C/68° F.

A secondary crush then extracts the juice that remains between the flesh and the skin of the grapes.

In 7 to 10 days, the yeasts work their magic, the juice ferments and the wine is ready for distillation.
