| The Winery The cellar was originally built in 1850, all in granite, and remodeled in 1950 to use gravity to unload the grapes into the granite lagares. In 2007, with the decision to restart wine production at the Cellar, restoration work was done to preserve the initial structure and adapt it to modern oenology and viticulture technology. A cold system was introduced for the lagares and all the vats as well as scientific temperature control of the cellar and the full record of the oenological operations carried out by the technicians. We can say that the secret of Julia Kemper Wines is in our Portuguese Wine Cellar! |  |
