The original sloping ground between the areas of fermentation and storage was kept intact in order to reduce to the maximum the use of pumps – at Quinta das Amendoeiras gravity is of great help: the whole process is made downwards, so that, besides the wine, the stem and husk can count on gravity to be unloaded.

The roof, which was about to collapse, is sustained by metal beams. The lining is made of wood and the space between it and the tiles is filled with a strong thermo insulator in order to avoid temperature variation.

Everything is done for the comfort of the wine.
