Since the first maritime explorations, the culture of vine and everything relates with have known new horizons and new philosophies; in this new world outside Europe there is a great technological advance and an attempt to affirm itself with a distinct terroir to the old world. With the arrival of Europeans from different wine regions, New Zealand has successfully combined the different ways of seeing vines and wine to such an extent that it is now one of the most respected countries when it comes to winemaking; Marlborough with its environmental characteristics has been producing wines with identity, being very rich in aroma and complexity, mainly from its queen variety, the Sauvignon Blanc. The winemaking company Framingham Wines, belongs to the Portuguese group SOGRAPE and has been making high quality wines since the construction of its winery in the late 90's and early 2000's, making it one of the best wine producers in New Zealand in recent years with its own concept. This internship report prepared for the purposes of a master's degree dissertation intends to report the experience in a winery during the vintage period, with all the surrounding environment, mainly in a year in which at a social level was very strange and demanding, caused by the world pandemic, during the most important period of an agricultural year in the culture of the vine
