2013 was slightly colder than normal. A cold and rainy spring, thankfully free of frost. The summer was not very warm which contributed to significant delay to the ripening of the grape. The harvest began on October 8, after a few days of rains that caused botrytis to threaten. 50% of the plots that were already selected ended up being discarded over the 2 days. In the search for grapes untouched by botrytis, we went to vineyards with over 900 m of altitude. Hand harvested into 12 kg boxes. During the hand sort of the grapes, 35% of the grapes harvested were rejected. After de-stemming, the grapes were gravity fed into the tank almost whole and without any damage.
