The Family has chosen to focus on quality, maintained by using only the first pressings of hand-selected grapes grown under dedicated and careful management, from the pruning to the storage of the wines.
Method . Spring Spring
The first pruning commences in late March. Late pruning aids in the delay of bud burst, thus hopefully avoiding the late spring frost, which could destroy the young buds.
Method . Summer Summer
The shoots of the grapes grow from spring to autumn. During the summer months great emphasis is placed on maintaining the canopy.
Method . Autumn Autumn
The grapes start to ripen towards the end of August. The grapes require an average temperature of 15C to ripen sufficiently and the units of sunlight are extremely important.
Method . Winter Winter
Trellis posts are all checked for rot, and replaced if found defective. If this is not done, there is a danger of trellis' collapsing in high winds, thus causing damage to the vines.
