Grape Harvest

This is now in full swing and all bodegas are fighting time and weather! A lot of pressure to get the best out of what's available.
We watched a truckload of various grapes selected, with many bunches rejected likely due to a bit of fungus on the grapes- this happens when they've got wet. Now in the Rioja region - beautiful.
Tour and wine tasting at a bodega this afternoon.
Interesting to hear the wine-maker's descriptions of scents and flavours in each wine!
