CARMELO RODERO, GRAVITY-FED WINERY

Using a novel, advanced system that enhances all the intrinsic qualities of the wine, at Carmelo Rodero we craft our wines by gravity.

What does this mean? That, when receiving the grapes, they are taken to an OVI tank so that this mobile tank can distribute them to the rest of the vessels, which are at a lower height. Thus, by gravity, the wine is transferred from one tank to another without pumping, improving the quality of the must by avoiding organoleptic losses in the grape. Subsequent movements of the wine will also be carried out using the OVI until its final stage, when the barrels are filled.

To be able to have a gravity-fed winery, an initial investment is necessary to adapt it, as it must be laid out on different levels. The main difference from a traditional one, apart from its spatial design, is that it eliminates all kinds of friction and rubbing that the grapes undergo throughout the entire process.

Since 2004, we have integrated technology and innovation into our production process. A unique patented system that allows us to meticulously care for every detail to obtain wines of extraordinary quality.

By taking advantage of a simple basic physical law, wines are produced in which their natural qualities are accentuated and, ultimately, better and more appealing wines are made.
