Harvest is done mechanically to increase the speed of this process and improve the quality of the grapes when entering the cellar. The juice has a period of cold settling before fermentation in temperature controlled tanks to keep the fresh lemon fruit character.
After fermentation the wine is left on the fine dead yeast cells “lies” until the April after harvest. This adds a yogurt-y complexity to the wine and improves the mouth feel.
