about the harvest: The 2014 harvest had relatively cool temperatures early in the season, with very late ripening. The quality of the wines turned out altogether good. Quality grapes were handpicked early morning and left overnight in cold storage to cool down to 6°C.

in the cellar : The Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio were destemmed and pressed under a layer of CO2 to retain varietal flavours. The juice was further cooled down overnight to settle and racked the next day to stainless steel tanks. The juice was slowly fermented under automatic temperature controlled conditions to complete dryness and racked again. The Shiraz was fermented in stainless steel tanks, making use of gravity processes. The wines were vinified separately and then blended and made protein and cold stable before bottling. All ingredients used are natural and organically certified.
