This year the harvest is earlier due to the sun that is been with us since the last days of august. So the cellar is getting ready to receive the grapes. these last two weeks we´ve been preparing the deposits and bottling some godello wine that still was waiting for its moment. It will spend few months in the bottle before being ready for its consumption. Meanwhile, we focus in the new harvest that seems is going to be spectacular.

It also was a chance to know better the gastronomic passion they have in the Vasc Country and to meet chefs as the ones in the picture: Andrés Berasategui, Pedro Subijana and Hilario Arbelaitz.
