At the end of the 19th and 20th centuries, an insect native to North America called phylloxera<\/strong> , which attacks vine roots, destroyed the vast majority of European plantations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From then on, the new vines<\/strong> that are planted are all with American root, because this is resistant to phylloxera. This plague therefore left these lands without vines and their cultivation is no longer recovered. <\/p>\n

Torre del Codina<\/a> was until then a very important wine farm. This is indicated by the two large must fermentation tanks<\/strong> attached to the house and which are connected to the cellar. <\/p>\n

A few years ago, we planted just under half a hectare of vines by the entrance road of the Hare’s Eye variety. So again, from the grapes of Torre del Codina<\/a> , we have returned to make wine every year. <\/p>\n

The production process<\/a> is very simple, the grapes are harvested<\/strong> , they are pressed<\/strong> with the machine that separates the grape skins and the resulting liquid is the sweet grape must<\/strong> with the seed and skin that will ferment<\/strong> in stainless steel containers and that we will have to go back every day.<\/p>\n

Usually the fermentation<\/strong> lasts three weeks, and then we press<\/strong> the must and filter<\/strong> it and leave it back in the aluminum containers.<\/p>\n

After a couple of months in which the wine<\/strong> has rested<\/strong> and matured<\/strong> , we decant and clean the sediments that have settled at the bottom of the container.<\/p>\n

After another couple of months you can start drinking an excellent young red wine<\/strong> .<\/p><\/p>\n\n
