Very good! I'll make you part of a plan if ever you feel like doing something different than usual with your family, now that the warm weather arrives ...
On Saturday, 19th of March, "Father's Day, my friend Oscar and our families, we organized a trip to visit wineries Arzuaga, in Valladolid. One of the most important brands of wine from the Ribera del Duero. The weather forecasts were very favorable. Sunshine and temperatures near 20 degrees. Ideal for walking all day on the street, without the cold winters, or the excessive summer heat.
already wanted to do a trip out there and break the monotony of the weekends, which I'm exclave sport for kids, soccer games for their respective teams on Saturday and Sunday morning I play for me, with Black Dragons in the Football League veterans 7.
My kid was playing him more rest because the number of teams in your group is odd. So the time the painted bald, to seize the opportunity. Said and done. My friend Emily had told me some time ago that they had made the trip and were glad of the day that happened. I got into "San Google" and look for the words "wine tour Arzuaga, finding Among other results, the website holds http://www.hotelarzuaga.com/ . Browse through the different sections to find what he wanted. The visit to their facilities.
have three modes of access. In my case, going with children, it seemed more appropriate to call "thematic Tomorrow" which reportedly includes a visit to a 150-hectare nature reserve with wild boar, deer and mountain sheep, besides the visit to the wineries and a wine tasting. Reporting call for reservations and confirm our support for eight people. Saturday came
and remain at 8 o'clock in the morning to go out together. The visit was scheduled for 11:15 h. and the trip would take two hours and a half. Oscar would make a guide to their TomTom device. I back with my buggy, closely following the track. Best time to date and avoid any accidents. The trip gave us great. Just had driving on the road. So we stopped for a coffee for us and a few shakes to children in an inn that was in the village of Quintanilla de Onesimus, just three miles from the wineries.
Everything went as planned. British arrived on time at the farm, where You can find wineries. We are all very well kept. The outdoor gardens welcome you to the site. The stone building, reminiscent of a monastery, so typical in the region. To climb a few steps, you come across a large wooden door that gives access to a large room, captivating just put in the foot. I told myself, go nivelazo ... !
If I said that everything was going well, it is still the story better. I approached the counter to pay for the reservation of the visit and there, the girl who I later learned would be our guide, told me that the price was 100 euros. I stayed a little confusing. "100?. There are 4 adults and 4 children I said. Sure!. € 25 per adult. Children under 12 are free. She said with a smile. Ah !!!... Super. Thanks. I answered, while loosening the pasta. Not rebutted, but the website of the establishment, reported that children paid 20 euros. I guess the information was wrong. So this news, unexpectedly, I got even more batteries than they already had them ... How well !!... 
15 minutes over schedule, the same girl, which I later learned that his name was Paula and bore a strong resemblance to Paula Echevarría, women David Bustamante, who for more causalities, TVE stars in the series "Big Book" which is also the world of families engaged in the business of wine, which reminds me of that other highly successful series of the 80, "Falcon Crest "and the evil Angela Channing. Well, I roll it up ... Pau the call that we were waiting for the visit and invited us to take her off the premises. We made a circle around it and told us what was the planning of the visit, on which there would be changes to the usual. They had a wedding and needed, to avoid crossing with the guests, visit the wineries rather than farms, to end the tasting wines and appetizers. The journey began overseas, where in front of a vineyard, he explained the origin of the winery, founded in the early 90's. The first three crops are unsuitable for making wine and they expect up to ten years to use grapes from the new vineyards. The control board is very demanding for the designation of origin granted to a company, periodically inspected and requiring certain quality criteria, for example, for red wine grapes in a bottle must contain at least 75% tempranillo . The rest should be in one of these other varieties: cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Addition undertakes that the harvest is entirely in the region. You can not buy another area of \u200b\u200bthe country, different from the Ribera del Duero, but if you can buy from other family businesses, some of their crop to produce its own wine. Water use during droughts is also highly controlled by the Control Board. The irrigation system can only be used twice a week.
The vineyards are pruned trellis mode, I mean in a "T", and left ready to go 32 bunches of grapes per plant. Then Mother Nature will decide how they go ...
The vineyards are pruned trellis mode, I mean in a "T", and left ready to go 32 bunches of grapes per plant. Then Mother Nature will decide how they go ... Another curious fact is the fact of growing roses beside the vineyards. You know for what?. Yes, I know you are cool, but that's not its primary purpose. It is possible to detect diseases. If roses fade, poor signal. And they can intervene to avert disaster.
The wineries are located in the area known as the "Golden Mile", having as neighbors other prestigious brands such as "Vega Sicilia" and "Protos".
After initial exposure to the outdoors, keep our beautiful guide, made the cellars, where we visited what is the process from reaching the grapes until they are served to the consumer. If you expect to see a dirty cellar, with sawdust on the floor, humidity, and wood vessels, you swing. All is in perfect magazine. Forget also watch the grape stomping gentlemen pressing. That is no longer done for many years. Now everything is modern.
The alcoholic fermentation of grapes, which must be between 25 º and 30 º. They do yeasts adhered to the skin of the grapes that feed on sugars. After that comes the malolactic fermentation, which serves primarily to eliminate excessive acidity. Previously that was done was to mix the wine with honey or sugar, because otherwise there was no beast that swallowed him ...
The color of red wine, is obtained based on subject to a continuous process to drain juice through the sediment yield grapes, located at the top of the metallic vessel.
