After successfully passing the 2022 Harvest, harvesting a grape of the highest quality, another of the high points of the year in the winery arrives, the discover.
And what is the discover? We talk about discover when we refer to the phase in which we empty the wine tanks once the fermentation has passed, thus separating it from the grape skins.
The time used to develop the devatting will depend on the amount of grapes collected. In our case, it will take a few days to complete this process.
By having a large tank room, we have the possibility of selecting each container based on the wine that we are going to develop, with which we have to carry out an exhaustive control of the emptying of each tank, keeping this process under control at all times.
Once the liquid content of the tank has been emptied, it is time to do the same with the rest of the grapes, all manually. The skins, compact by their own weight, are arranged occupying the entire lower part of the large metal containers, and they will have to be removed for subsequent pressing.
To get into the tanks, we will need to be well equipped. Thanks to the rakes, we will be removing the skins, which we will transport in 'tubs' to the press. There we will squeeze them, thus extracting every last drop of wine, piling them up at the end of the process. These will be used by third parties to develop various products, such as pomace or body creams.
