The wine harvesting process in Portugal is one of the oldest
and most traditional and untouched industries in the portuguese country.
Most vineyards still have the harvests performed manually, hiring mainly
locals from the area to collect the grapes.
The process itself is one of the reasons why the vindimas have kept
its originality: the harvesting begins early in the morning, with
hundreds of people (mainly women) throughout the estate harvesting the
grapes by hand, covering themselves from the heat with straw hats and
cloth around their bodies. After the grapes are gathered and undergo a
selection process, they are stepped on, thus commencing the wine
production process in itself.
