Results of last Friday’s frost in our Fonzabala vineyard, with a damage of around 50%. Our Cihuri vineyard even worse. Let’s hope the remaining Gembres and Bodega make it well until harvest in October. Global warming becoming more evident each year…

@Joelfinebottles Enjoy! 🤘

Some spring visits lately: A stork (she doesn’t look as huge in the picture as in real) in the middle of our La Manzanera vineyard next to the winery 😳😳 having a worm feast; also the frost came at the beginning of April, causing limited damage 🤞hopefully no more in 2023 🤞

We started a few weeks ago, preparing our gavillas, then grapes started entering the bodega last 27/9 and last obese entered yesterday 1/10. Now the magic is on process… https://t.co/P8zbCmMFsd

A nice sunset a couple of days ago, walking to “Virgen de la Esclavitud’s” chapel not far from Akutain, with the 2 Gembres rocks (Obarenes mountains) in the horizon… https://t.co/ZyCae3BfRN

In the middle of harvest, with a lovely weather: ripe and healthy grapes (in the pics/vid, one of our rebel Viuras and some beautiful Tempranillo, all from the vineyard around our winery…) 😋😋😋

Bottling our Akutain Rosado Gran Reserva 2016, now it will rest a few months in our caves…

Last week, doing the “desniete” in our garnacha vineyard around the winery: the unproductive shoots are removed from the vines by hand to allow air flow between leaves and avoid moisture…

Slowly recovering after the sad news: J. J. Peñagaricano Akutain, founder of Bodega Akutain, left us last 22nd April. Here a link to our webpage, where we dedicate him with devotion a few words:

@LuisGutierrezSD A fire stone? Sorry, we just like bad jokes...

[Bodega Akutain @bodegaakutain]

Wow, look at this!! An old good friend sent us this picture yesterday (merci Tof et Mr. Henry!)! Since Bodega Akutain is small, we don’t have room to store old vintages. Therefore, an old 1999 Akutain Crianza is rare to be seen even for us...

A quick link to the article on our website regarding 2020’s harvest: happy to see a good result in such a difficult year... 💪 https://t.co/ryl4bsznW6

Wow! Nice comments about Bodega Akutain in last 2020 Rioja Issue of The Wine Advocate by Luis Gutierrez! A huge motivation to keep working hard!! Thanks!
