La Abodega

Sunday morning I went to one of the places that they make wine in Santa Cruz de la Zarza. I got a tour and tried the wine straight from the vats. The owner who gave me the tour after gave me three bottles of wine as a gift, one of each that they make there : blanco (white), rosado (pink) and tinto (red). Then we went to the vineyard and picked grapes from the vines. I loved seeing how they make the wine right there and sell it to the local bars and restaurants. But even more, I loved picking the grapes! I brought back a whole bag back to Cuenca.

Grapes before going into the vats.

Tasting wine right out of the vat, one month old.



Straight off the vine.



I don't know how long I can wait until I have to open and try the wine...

xxoo,
