Hello, greetings to my friends addicted to science! Today I bring you a super special post, we are going to learn a little about the work of a winemaker! And what better way to learn than doing the job for a day? book a guided tour for you, we will visit the "vineyard" "Herdade da Ervideira" to make our own wine! amazing, right? then sit back and enjoy this fantastic post!π§ π·π¨βπ«
Hola un saludo a mis amigos adictos a la ciencia! hoy les traigo un post super especial, vamos a conocer un poco sobre el trabajo de un enologo! y que mejor forma de aprender que realizando el trabajo por un dia? marque una visita guiada para ustedes, visitaremos el "viΓ±ero" "Herdade da Ervideira" para fabricar nuestro propio vino! increible no? entonces ponte comodo y disfruta de este fantastico post!ππ¨βπ»β²
HERDADE DA ERVIDEIRAπ¨βπ«βπ§ / NUESTRO SITIO DE VISITA1οΈβ£π―
I am pleased to introduce you to this company specialized in viticulture, which has been representing one of the best wine breeds in the country for more than a century! In this family business wine has been "produced since 1880", currently this company is in its fifth generation! It has a total of more than 160 hectares, among the wines produced are: "Conde, Vinho da Γgua, 'Ervideira, lusitano, invisivel."π¨βπ«π¨βπ»
Me complazco en presentarle esta empresa especializada en viticultura tiene mas de un siglo representando una de las mejores casta de vinos del pais! en esta empresa familiar se produce vino desde "1880", actualmente esta empresa va por su "quinta generacion"! cuenta con un total de mas de "160 hectareas", entre los vinos producidos destacan: "Conde, Vinho da Γgua, 'Ervideira, lusitano, invisivel."π±
factory tourπ¨βπ«βπ§ / recorrido por la fabrica1οΈβ£π―
Before carrying out our experience as "oenologists" the company gives us a short tour of the entire work area! we see the wine production process, which technically begins with a stage of "maceration" then is passed to a next stage called "fermentation" then the stage of "racking out", "pressing" until reaching the famous malolactic fermentation and culminating our process by "bottling" not all wine producing companies use the same system to create their wine! the wine can be "matured" in large tanks or in wooden barrels!π

Antes de realizar nuestra experiencia como "enologos" la empresa nos da un pequeΓ±o recorrido por toda el area de trabajo! vemos el proceso de produccion del vino, que tecnicamente comienza por una etapa de "maceracion" luego es pasado a una siguiente fase llamada "fermentacion" luego la etapa de "descubado", "prensado" hasta llegar a la famosa fermentacion malolactica y culminar nuestro proceso por el "embotellado" no todas las empresas productoras de vino emplean el mismo sistema para crear su vino! el vino puede ser "madurado" en tanques grandes o en barricas de madera!π§ͺπ§«π’
One of the "techniques" that caught my attention in the way this company works is that they collect the grapes only at night, this is because the vineyards are located in the "alentejo" area of Portugal, it is the region of the country with "plains and hottest" in the country! in the afternoons the temperature can easily reach about 38 degrees, at this stage it is almost impossible for the workers to collect the grapes since the heat can cause some discomfort and that is why it was decided to work at night!π¨βπ»π·π§«
Una de las "tecnicas" que llamo mi atencion en la forma de trabajo de esta empresa es que recolectan las uvas unicamente en las noches, esto porque los viΓ±eros estan ubicados en la zona de "alentejo" de Portugal, es la region del pais con "planicies y mas caliente" del pais! en las tardes puede la temperatura llegar facilmente a unos 38 grados, en esta etapa es casi imposible para el personal obrero recolectar las uvas ya que el calor puede causar algun malestar y por eso se decidio trabajar en las noches!π²π€π΅οΈββοΈ
After the "physical-chemical" phase of the wine, we arrive at the phase of bottling the precious liquid, in this phase the liquid travels through a system of machines that pour the liquid into bottles to later be "sealed" with the "cork" the wines produced in "Herdade da Ervideira" are not available in the "general" market, that is, in supermarkets! they are unique wines destined for restaurants, this makes them not very accessible, creating a limited market and allowing the "diner" to live an original experience trying a product that is difficult to obtain!π¨βπ«π²π·
Luego de la fase "fisico-quimica" del vino llegamos a la fase de embotellar el preciado liquido, en esta fase el liquido viaja por un sistema de maquinas que vierten el liquido en unas botellas para luego ser "selladas" con el "corcho" los vinos que se producen en "Herdade da Ervideira" no estan disponibles al mercando "general" osea a los supermercados! son vinos unicos destinados a los restaurantes, esto los hace poco accesibles creando un mercado limitado y permitiendo al "comensal" vivir una experiencia original probando un producto dificil de conseguir!π€π€
What is a winemaker and what is his job?π¨βπ«βπ§ / que es un enologo y cual es su trabajo1οΈβ£π―
Before entering this experience I had no knowledge of "enology" so it was all new to me! and probably for you too, but an "enologist" is a person who has the function of carrying the responsibility of controlling the "wine making" process, but not only must he supervise the process, he must also work on the commercial part of the product ! the term in English is: "oenologist", it is a job that to reach a level of experience requires many wine "tests, tastings" to train your palate to a level that manages to understand and differentiate the properties of the wine! It is very important to note that a wine taster is not the same as an "oenologist".π¨βπ«π΅οΈββοΈπ€π¨βπ»
Yo antes de entrar en esta experiencia no tenia ningun conocimiento sobre la "enologia" por tanto era todo nuevo para mi! y probablamente para ti tambien, pero un "enologo" es una persona que tiene la funcion de cargar con la responsabilidad de controlar el proceso de "elaboracion de vino", pero no solo debe supervisar el proceso tambien debe trabajar en la parte comercial del producto! se le conoce en ingles como: "oenologist", es un trabajo que para alcanzar un nivel de experiencia requiere muchisimas "pruebas, cataciones" de vino hasta entrenar su paladar a un nivel que consiga entender y diferenciar las propiedades del vino! Muy importante resaltar que un "catador" de vino no es igual que un "oenologist".π§ ππ

experience as an oenologistπ¨βπ«βπ§ / experiencia como enologo1οΈβ£π―
My experience, first of all, is knowing how wine is distinguished on the palate, how to recognize the level of "sweet, acidity, bitterness, aroma, smell" so we will have 3 castes "aragonez, syrha, trincadeira" we will try it to identify what type of wine we like! if we want to create a wine: "a day-to-day wine, an elegant wine, etc! we will start from here to create our base! with that breed that we feel most identified with! but we can also create a base by combining 2 or 3 wine breeds!π€π
Mi experiencia primeramente es conocer como se distingue el vino en el paladar, como reconocer el nivel de "dulce, acidez, amargo, aroma, olor" entonces disponeremos de 3 castas "aragonez, syrha, trincadeira" la iremos a probar para identificar que tipo de vino gustamos! si queremos crear un vino: "un vino de dia a dia, un vino elegante etc! de aqui partiremos para crear nuestra base! con aquella casta que nos sentimos mas identificados! pero tambien podemos crear una base combinando 2 o 3 castas de vino!
After testing our varieties and defining our combination, we are also going to use the "Alicante Bouschet" variety, but this variety is matured in barrels with 3 types of wood, "Hungarian, French and American" why? The type of wood used to mature a wine alters its flavor, therefore the "Hungarian" wood gives a slight flavor to our wine, the "French" wood is a little more "marked in flavor" and finally the "American" wood. It is a very strong wood that gives our wine that characteristic flavor of wood! I liked this last one!π€©π§ π
π
Luego de probar nuestras castas y definir nuestra combinacion, vamos tambien a usar la casta "alicante bouschet" pero esta casta esta madurada en barricas con 3 tipos de madera, "hungara, francesa y americana" por que? el tipo de madera que se usa para madurar un vino altera su sabor, por tanto la madera "hungara da un leve sabor a nuestro vino" la madera "francesa" es un poco mas "marcada en el sabor" por ultimo la "americana" es una madera muy fuerte que da a nuestro vino ese sabor caracteristico del a madera! a mi me gusto este ultimo!π²π²π²
My wine "baptized as BastarGO"π¨βπ«βπ§ / mi vino bautizado como BastarGO1οΈβ£π―
My wine, as you can see in the photograph, presents the following varieties "70% Aragon + 25% Trincadeira + 5% American" according to our expert oenologist teacher, my wine is a fairly balanced wine that can be used for lunches or consumption in our day to day ! it is more "bitter" than sweet with a slight acid touch", an aroma marked with the properties of the wood used in American barrels! let's say it PASSED THE TESTπ€π€©ππ
Mi vino tal cual como puedes ver en la fotografia presenta las siguientes castas "70% aragonez+ 25%trincadeira+5%americano" segun nuestra profesora experta enologa mi vino es un vino bastante equilibrado que puede usarse para almuerzos o consumos en nuestro dia a dia! es mas "amargo" que dulce con un toque ligero acido", un aroma marcado con las propiedades de la madera usada en la barricas americanas! digamos que PASE LA PRUEBA ππ§«π§ͺ
The "best wine in the world"π¨βπ«βπ§ / el mejor vino del mundo1οΈβ£π―
Of course my wine is the best in the world hehe! It was a fantastic experience to see how is the chemistry and physicochemistry behind this world that little by little is gaining more followers! I am from the generation of the 80s and in high school and the beginning of my university studies, our generation did not drink wine! and surely you share that opinion with me! but today we see many young people drinking wine, entering this very interesting world!π²π§ π
Por supuesto que es mi vino el mejor del mundo hehe! fue una experiencia fantastica ver como es la quimica y fisicoquimica detras de este mundo que poco a poco va ganando mas seguidores! soy de la generacion de los 80 y en la secundaria e inicio de mis estudios universitarios nuestra generacion no tomaba vino! y seguramente compartes esa opinion conmigo! pero hoy en dia vemos muchos jovenes tomando vino, adentrandose a este mundo tan interesante!π²π€π¨βπ«
A test with a very peculiar wineπ¨βπ«βπ§ / una prueba con un vino peculiar1οΈβ£π―
We had the opportunity to try a wine produced by them! I was struck by the "water wine" is a white wine with a strange taste! I had never tasted anything like it. What happens is that the barrels in this wine are stored under water for a few years! what happens is that the barrels absorb "the flavors of the waters where they are matured"!π’ππ
Tuvimos la oportunidad de probar un vino producido por ellos! me llamo la atencion el "vino del agua" es un vino blanco con un sabor extraΓ±o! nunca habia probado nada igual lo que sucede es que las barricas en este vino son almacenadas bajo el agua por algunos aΓ±os! lo que sucede es que los barriles absorben "los sabores de las aguas donde son madurados"! π
π
And of course I couldn't finish my experience without buying some wines! And since I really liked the water wine, I took two bottles, the cost is 30 euros! but they are wines that are worth it! Thank you for your company. I hope you have learned something in this experience!π€©π€©
Y claro no podia acabar mi experiencia sin comprar algunos vinos! y como me gusto mucho el vino del agua entonces lleve dos botellas, el costo es de 30 euros! pero son vinos que valen la pena! gracias por tu compaΓ±ia espero hayas aprendido algo en esta experiencia!π₯°π₯°
