The vines grow in wire training, like on a high trellis. The special thing, however, is that the grapes grow at working height, the other dense-leaved shoots rise up to a height of up to 2.5 m like a wall. This improves photosynthesis and thus the growth of the grapes and, on the other hand, protects them from excessive sunlight.
The Garnacha grapes were harvested by hand, lightly crushed, macerated in the mash for a few hours and then fermented in stainless steel tanks. This rosé organic wine then matured for 4 months in stainless steel tanks to preserve its clear fruity character.

The grape harvest, 6,000 kg/hectare, was carried out by hand in the early morning at a cool temperature and brought to the wine cellar in 7 kg stackable boxes. There they were stored in cold rooms at 10° C for a few hours and then lightly crushed in a so-called grape mill. Some of the juice runs out of the berries without being pressed, which then macerates at a low temperature. The must is pre-clarified by lowering the solids and at the same time important enzymes are created. These processes serve to avoid oxidation and to preserve the fruity, fresh aromas of the later wine. This is fermented spontaneously with the grapes' own yeasts in approximately 500 liter French oak barrels and then matured on the fine yeast for eight months.
