These come from Alentejo, South of Portugal, where they were used as the main vessels for winemaking since roman times until mid 20th century \u2013 an almost extinct tradition.<\/p>\n<p>Grapes are crushed and de-stemmed in a wooden table, the juice and skins being immediately moved to the amphorae, to stay for some weeks in skin contact. Then a layer of olive oil is left on top of the wine during the winter, to protect it during the winter, while it rests and tunes itself until it is ready for bottling in springtime.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"gap-194297653\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-194297653 {\n  padding-top: 60px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":13,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-467","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
