about the harvest: The grapes are from vigorous, high trellised vineyards in the valley floor. Harvesting took place at 19.5° Balling in the cool morning hours to eliminate the loss of varietal flavours.

in the cellar : After gentle pressing the juice was settled for 24 hours at 10°C before being racked and inoculated with selected yeast. Fermentation took place at between 13° - 16°C for 13 days.
