Labels matter - especially the colourful ones on the back. They reveal how long a wine has been aged. You may think all our wines are oak-aged but take Cosecha, for example, if labeled Jovén (young), it might have zero oak ageing.

Vine cells can't function at below 10°C, and vines can die from getting too cold if the temperature continues to fall too far below zero. Sprinklers, heaters and wind machines are used in vineyards to prevent the negative effects of frost from occurring…
