This year the harvest has started with really good weather, what assured that the grapes had an optimum ripening and this spectacular look. We make a first selection of the grapes in the vineyard and translate them to the processing area into boxes with proper ventilation, making sure they get there in very good condition. No doubt, 2014 is going to be a remarkable vintage for the denomination of origin of Valdeorras.
