More than 100 years ago, there were over 100 wineries of this kind; today, only a few remain, and this one stays true to history and continues to be in use.

César will share with you how these giant vessels contribute to the authentic aging and refinement process, giving life to our Gewürztraminer, Viognier, Airén, Merlot (Sulfur-Free), and Tempranillo wines.
