Winepress made of tea. Winepresses consisted on a large beam and a spindle. The wine was bundled together with a tight rope forming the so-called ‘queso’ (cheese) before pressing the wine. The wine then fermented with stems and skins in a basin or ‘lagarillo’ before being transferred to the tea casks, or it could also ferment within the tea casks immediately after crushing the grapes.
