Fermentation takes place as much as possible with the yeast cells that occur on the grapes themselves. A pure way of winemaking is part of the standard procedure, whereby - depending on grape variety and wine style - use is made of temperature-controlled fermentation on stainless steel or fermentation in oak casks. Some red and white varieties undergo fermentation and aging in small 225 L oak barrels (barrique).
