in the vineyard :

The grapes were harvested on selected member farms, predominantly from cool mountain slopes. The vines, all between 10 and 15 years old at the time of harvesting, grow in a combination of alluvial, sandy and clayey soils allowing for moderate water retention. Grafted mostly onto Richter 99 rootstock, the vines received supplementary irrigation based on hydrometer readings. Leaf canopies were actively managed to ensure bunches were kept in the shade, away from direct sunlight.

about the harvest:

To ensure the grapes reached the cellar in the coolest possible state, the grapes were mechanically harvested at night at 23° to 24° Balling and transported enveloped in layers of dry ice to reduce contact with oxygen.

in the cellar :

After fermentation, the wine was aged for four months in wood before bottling.
