Between grapes and stars: Discover the night harvest in the Rueda appellation.

The Denomination of Origin (D.O.) Rueda is known for its high quality white wines, especially those made from the Verdejo grape variety.
However, there is a unique experience that few know about: night harvesting.
This practice, carried out by our technical team, is not only fascinating, but also has a significant impact on the quality of the wine.
Night harvesting is done to take advantage of the cooler nighttime temperatures, which helps preserve the aromas and flavors of the grapes.
During the day, heat can accelerate oxidation and unwanted fermentation, which can negatively affect wine quality.
Harvesting the grapes at night minimizes these risks and ensures that the grapes arrive at the winery in the best possible condition.
