All the fruit in, work goes on in the winery...

Last fruit was harvested last sunday the 12th! Both our viticulturist and our winemaker are very satisfied with the harvest, wonderful quality, good flow of work in the vineyard with a wonderful team devoted to give the best of themselves and enthusiast to get the fruit of a whole year of work delivered to the winery. After very long hours for our winery team in the last 3 weeks, they seem to be getting back to 'normal' hours - with dark undereyes, but absolutely thrilled and eager to work the wines!














Here, the pinot noir are being digged out: After maceration, the wine is ran into tanks while the cap containing all the skins and few lees is sent to the press. The wine after pressings is kept separately to eventually be integrated partly at blending time or not at all, depending on the need in balance we are looking for. The wine ran in tanks, will be transfered into barrels shortly.
