Grapes are hand-harvested in the early morning hours at cooler temperatures to preserve freshness.

2017 Vintage: The winter months (January through March) were significantly more wet than usual, which was welcomed with open arms after the very dry finish to the 2016 vintage. The spring was warmer than average which forced bud break 9 days ahead of schedule, and as a result the region was impacted by the hard frost suffered across much of Europe in 2017. The summer was very warm with dry conditions which favoured the balance ripening of the grapes with sugars and acidities in equilibrium. The warm spring did push harvest ahead by about 15 days. Low yields combined with perfect ripeness resulted in rosé wines that are concentrated, complex with pleasant aromatics and a strong backbone of acidity.
