Spanish to English translations [PRO] Agriculture / viticultura
Spanish term or phrase:cepa
Hola a todos. Transcribo el contexto porque aquí "cepa" no es ni "strain" ni "grape variety":
Cada cepa [de la región de los Montes de Málaga] no da más de un kilo o un kilo y medio de uva. Existe una selección natural, al contrario de lo que ocurre en otras zonas vitícolas de Málaga, en la que debe hacerse una vendimia previa de manera manual para garatnizar la calidad de la uva.
Me parece raro que "cepa" sea cada planta porque aquí dice que la cepa da un kilo de uva, pero eso es porque no sé cuánto fruto da normalmente cada planta.
