HARVESTING
Progress:
Harvest at the end of September/beginning of October
Mechanical harvesting since 1992 :
More flexibility and speed
4 people for 10 days
Optimizing harvesting conditions:
Maturity of the bunches
Adaptation to the weather of the day
Fresh harvest processing time. <2h
Gentle pressing (pneumatic press)
Monitoring and control of fermentations (between 5 and 7 days)
Search for dry wines (TAV <9.5%) with high natural acidity
=> Good conservation and strong aromatic potential.
