Estágio em baixo d´água/ Under water ageing

Under (yes, under!) this sky, 946 bottles of Negreiros 2008 rest (in peace).
Sob (sim, sob!) esse céu, 946 garrafas de Negreiros 2008 repousam (em paz)

filling the tank

The first step was to protect the cork with wax (watch the video "putting wax", 2 posts below); then we uploaded the wine to the tank (video "putting wine in tank", the post below); finaly, we filled the tank with water. Watch the video here.

Singing

I swear: they started singing spontaneously. I took the camera after they started singing. And they were singing while helping to put 946 bottles of Negreiros wine in a tank which will be filled with water (to the wine be aged with the less termic variation possible).

Puting wax

Negreiros wine producer puts wax to protect the cork of some bottles wich will be dived in a tank of water. The idea is to age the wine under water to avoid big termic variations and to mantain the wine fresh even during the summer.
