A rushed campaign:
The municipal delegation was received by the president of the cooperative, Eusebio Fernández-Montes. The meeting emphasized the rush of this harvest, which started in mid-August and is now in its final week. The volume of grapes entering remains in line with the previous campaign when the winery faced a shorter but excellent quality harvest.
New members from Villafranca de los Caballeros:
One of the highlights of the visit was the entry of members from Villafranca de los Caballeros, a neighboring town in Toledo. A sign that the Herencia entity attracts winemakers beyond the municipal term.
The “Matujos” at the center of the strategy:
The cooperative’s winemaker, Laura Díaz-Pavón, explained to the municipal representatives the new proposals for the wines of this harvest. The winery maintains a clear focus on the “Matujos” range, which according to the City Council is bringing great success to the entity. Bodegas San José is also present at the Agro-Food Stand at the Fair.
The visit is repeated every year around this time and coincides with Herencia’s celebration of the XIII Grape Harvest Festival on Saturday, September 26th.
