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.

Installing the support posts
We call them 'Bagstall', these supporting posts.
Here we are setting them out in the newly planted vineyards, one for every
five vines.
Each post has open eyelets on either side, through which the wires of the
trellising are threaded.
