Picking red grapes into a crate

“Among nopales, huizaches, dog grass and sun, another harvest ended at Viñedo Los Arcángeles.” Every year is different, and the work has to adapt.

Picking at the right moment

Before picking, the grapes are sampled one by one in each area. The juice is pressed out and pH and Brix are measured, so the harvest comes at the right ripeness and no additives are needed.

With a team

In one Uja harvest, for the first time, José led a team of friends. His idea of a harvest: have a good time, drink wine, eat, and make memories. As tradition goes, there was carne asada.
