in detail
the experience
winter pruning
Cut back last year’s growth to prepare the plant for the new season. Learn about how this optimizes plant production and development, as well as the different styles used to prune.
Spring Maintenance
The vineyard faces important challenges during this delicate stage. Check for pests, monitor bud burst, and rejoice with the flowering of the vine. Learn how to respond based on traditional, organic or biodynamic methods.
Green Harvest
Growing conditions may cause the plant to generate enthusiastic leaf growth to the detriment of fruit development. Learn how correctly-timed and intelligent intervention -- even removing grapes -- can focus energy into healthy fruit growth.
The Harvest
Idyllic excitement! Learn how to determine when to harvest, along with appropriate hand-harvesting techniques. Labor with the team in the vineyards, work in the lab to culture your yeast, and enjoy the cool cellar during fermentation. A well-deserved team dinner, anyone?
Barrel Ageing
Barrels provide unique aroma and flavor components to your wine. Decide which barrel you want, from wood type, toast level, even the producer, in order to achieve your unique style.
Bottling
Your wine is given its home — with bottle shape, cork size and label all designed by you. Your wine now enters its finishing phase, gently assuming the complexity to which you pre-destined it.
