about the harvest: Harvesting is done at night for the simple reason to receive the grapes at low temperatures to capture the maximum fruit. The harvest usually starts in the second last week of January and stretches until mid-February.

in the cellar : Fermentation takes place at low temperatures (12° - 14° C). Part of the blend is fermented with oak to ensure the best integration of the wood. After fermentation the wine is kept on its fine lees for 2-3 months before blending and stabilisation.
