The vineyards have been organically farmed since the wine's first vintage in 1988 and fully converted their techniques to being proudly biodynamic in 2000. The alcoholic fermentation for this wine takes place in French barriques where the separate lots of Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay undergo full malolactic fermentation. Barrel maturation takes 9 to 12 months for this wine and after the blending, the wine is transferred to cement tanks for six months. The wine then ages in the bottle for a further six months prior to release.
