Here at Castro Martin we always enjoy ‘hanging out’ in our vineyards, and we are often asked about our credentials relating to ‘au naturel’ production methods. We have a new idea for our next harvest which I think that this takes the concept to a whole new level! Now, Galicia is not necessarily the ideal place to prance around in the open air with no clothes, some of the breezes blowing in from the Ocean can be a bit nippy (and have been know to cause shrinkage of the berries). In addition, our pergolas are quite open and do not offer to much protection from the wind, although they do at least say that the Galicians themselves are really quite a hardy bunch.

The other downside to this plan is that, as all producers know, over exposure to the sun will inevitably cause the skins to wrinkle – this picture is perhaps a good illustration of exactly what I mean.
