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.
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.
Twenty different cellars with Adega Avelina amongst them, join the open doors event organized by the Galician Wine Routes and promoted from the regional government. It was the chance to show some of our new facilities, as the tasting area. In only one weekend we received more than fifty people. In the site of the company leading the project Valdeorras es Vino, Cristina, from Adega Avelina, cheers up with the rest of cellars involved in the event.
We really enjoyed this visit of students from O Barco de Valdeorras, one of the most interesting one we had in the last months. They walked from their school to Córgomo and then visited the cellar where we explained them how the wine is made. It was really interesting as they are used to see the vineyards in the fields surrounding their village as well as the rest of the area.
