The organic Alto de Piedras vineyard is an alluvial terrace from the Quaternary era (700 years ago). The soil is a combination of sand, lime, and clay.
The grapes were harvested during the second week of May. Before fermentation, the grapes underwent a cold maceration for week at 8 degrees. The wine was aged in French oak barrels for 15 months. It is suggested that this wine can be cellared for up to 7 years and I would suggest leaving it 2 years to see if the oak is mellowing and the fruit is still present. Marcelo Retamal was the winemaker. De Martino have been around since 1934.
This wine was imported by Domaine Wines.

2) Find a reputable organization offering a forklift training program. There are also a number of accessories that can customize the Workmaster and Stockmaster platforms. The decision to purchase a forklift truck for your business is an important one, and it is essential to think about your requirements carefully. Watching a forklift operator working around and lifting heavy bulky objects makes you think that it's easy as driving a car. on the other hand the counterbalance forklift that's way too small isn't going to be much use either as you will be unable to raise everything that you need to.
