Growing
The long growing season, with warm summer days and crisp autumn nights, enhances the growth of well-balanced wine gapes with intense flavour, full ripeness and balanced acidity. The low soil fertility and meagre rainfall ensures low vigour, an open and disease-resistant canopy, and a preciously small yield of one ton to the acre (2.5T/Ha). The vines are pruned late in winter to delay spring growth. This reduces the risk of frost damage and prolongs ripening into the cooler autumn months, further enhancing flavour.
