Berry Sorting at Harvest
Each block is hand harvested. Harvest time is determined by quality and taste. The grapes are quadruple sorted to ensure no stems, under or overripe grapes or other foreign matter is processed into the wine. In order to do this, we use an optical sorter that uses a laser beam to analyze size, shape and color of the berries and sort out what is unnecessary. After the optical sorter, berries go to a sorting table where many hands sift through them one final time.
