95 percent of our grapes are picked by hand. The picker plucks the berries off rather than threshing them, and a hose pump moves the mash into the press without crushing it.
Instead of sulphuring the must, we work with must yeasts. The entire mash passes through a tube heat exchanger down to under 15 °C — cool enough to let it stand for four to twelve hours. After pressing, we stir the must repeatedly over six hours.
Fining is done with pure potato protein: our cellar works one hundred percent vegan. We don't use flotation, but let everything settle in the cold room instead.
Fermentation is done with a single neutral sparkling wine yeast, which we prepare at the start of harvest and then pass on from tank to tank. It's neutral so you taste the vineyard, not the yeast.
The wine stays on full lees until around December, is then racked and fined, and remains on fine lees until March. Bottling takes place at the end of March, beginning of April. No malolactic fermentation — the malic acid remains, and with it the freshness.
