Vineyard Site
It is a pure loess site. The soil consists of deep black earth derived from loess, which has been altered by colluvial processes on the sloping south-facing hillside. Colluvially influenced loess tends to be more clayey, meaning finer-grained and often less calcareous.

Cellar

Traditional bottle fermentation

Gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks. The base wine matures for 6 months in small used wooden barrels. After the second fermentation in the bottle, the raw sparkling wine remains on the lees for at least 24 months to develop its creaminess.
