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. This special condition of this territory is what Yllera Bodegas y Viñedos wants to share with you. But the experience does not end in the vineyards. They invite you to live this night harvest with their technical team, so that you can discover the value of this centenary harvest. After the harvest, they invite you to enjoy a paired dinner at the Martín Berasategui Gastrobodega. This renowned chef, with multiple Michelin stars, has created a special menu that highlights the flavors of his wines. Each dish is carefully designed to complement and enhance the unique characteristics of these Rueda wines . In addition, you will have the opportunity to visit their subway cellars. These cellars, some of which date back centuries, offer a glimpse into the past and present of viticulture in the region. Here, you can learn about the winemaking process, from fermentation to aging, and discover the secrets that make these renowned wines so special.
