Hello Switzerland! Garnacha is here! Last week we had the pleasure of organizing our first event in Zurich, a pairing lunch in the Restaurant Carlton. The lunch included a small debate led by Ursula Geiger and the export Managers of Bodegas Aragonesas S.A. , Bodegas San Alejandro,Grandes Vinos and Cellers Unió. Some of the topics covered were old vines, the importance of the strong wind in Garnacha grapes, how the high altitude affects the flavors and textures in Garnacha wines... We will continue to keep the conversation going and hope for a successful partnership! #Garnacha #Wine #Switzerland

HARVEST SEASON in the different Garnacha PDOs In the areas where Garnacha is grown the grapes are normally harvested in the summer, beginning in August, and ending almost in autumn or mid November for big altitude vineyards. More specifically, it is interesting to see how the differences in the PDOs affect the ripening periods. For example: -In the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Calatayud the harvest begins at the end of September and can last until mid-November -In the PDO Campo de Borja the harvest generally begins in late September or early October -Also, in the PDO Cariñena, grapes are harvested in early September. -In PDO Terra Alta, in general, the peculiarities of the terroir make them of medium and late ripening So, we will have to wait a little bit longer for the full Garnacha harvest of 2024. #Harvest #Garnacha

How to store your Garnacha wine cool at home- Wine storing tips! - The key is to keep it at a constant temperature, preferably under 15 degrees. The worst enemy of a bottle is an abrupt change of temperature. -The place should be cool, well-ventilated and humid. An example would be in a storage room, which is normally underground, or a basement. But if you don’t have a basement, you can store the wine in artificial cellers. -It is also possible to keep the wine in its own box, as long as it is made of wood (avoid keeping the carton box) and is not in contact with the ground. -The kitchen is the worst place to store wines because there are more temperature changes due to the kitchen appliances. Cheers to summer! ☀ #Garnacha #Storewine #wine

Discover what this vine hides... Do you see the red wire? It is a method called "sexual confusion" used to control the grapevine moth. The sexual confusion technique is a highly effective biotechnological control strategy, reduces the use of insecticides and it is an alternative to the use of non-selective neurotoxic insecticides that eliminate other auxiliary species. How does it work? It continuously emits pheromones synthesized by the female during the flight stage in adult moths. These pheromones, in sufficient quantities, saturate the receptive capacity of the olfactory system of male insects. They confuse the male to the point of making it difficult for him to locate the female, thus preventing mating and the female from being fertilized. In this way, the evolution of the cluster moth plague is interrupted. #Garnacha  #Vines
