All grapes from our own vineyards are picked by hand. This implies rigorous selection directly on the vine - only fully ripe, unscathed fruit ends up in the cellar. By the way: we have no irrigation systems in our vineyards. It is true that in extremely dry years it may happen that we forgo one or another harvest from young vineyards. On the other hand, the vines will root substantially more deeply, thus releasing extra aromas and flavors as well as power into the grapes.

Mowing and mulching-there's no end to it!
First we make a pass with the tractor, mulching between the rows. This makes
the more detailed manual work with the motor-scythe much easier.
And when we're done doing this, we start mulching the winter-greencover.
