Vinification Strict selection and sorting the grapes in the vineyards. Gentle pneumatic pressing for 2-3 hours. The juice drops by gravity into the cellar. The juice from the last 30 minutes of the pressing are kept separate and sold in bulk. Natural clarification of the juice. The following 3-4 days the fermentation starts and last from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the vintages and grape varieties. Racking to separate the lees from the juice. No malolactic fermentation to preserve the purity of the fruit, the freshness and the natural ripe acidity. The wine stays in the barrels or stainless-steel tanks until bottling which starts in April and ends in September. The release of Pinot Blanc and Muscat is usually 1 year after the harvest. Two years for Riesling and Gewürztraminer. More bottle aging in the cellar up to 5-7 years for the top Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot gris, Grand Crus wines and Clos Ste Hune.
