The harvests, the dates of
which are determined with great care for each plot, are of course done
by hand.
Each year, an experienced team of sixty pickers, under the watchful eye
of the domain's full-time team, take on this crucial task.
Sorting is done at the foot of the vine and only perfectly mature bunches are chosen, the rest naturally being rejected.
|
We employ our own harvesting technique, which allows us to transport the harvested grapes, practically intact, to the Dioterie winery.
Grape picker empty their buckets into small crates,
each able to carry at least 20 kg of grapes.
We designed hod-type receptacles that
are used to transport crates, in small numbers, between the harvested vines and
the chai.
This prevents the grapes from getting crushed
and results in a perfectly healthy harvest.
In phase with the above, the crates are systematically washed at the chai between
trips to keep the grapes perfectly clean.
Transported in small quantities, the grapes harvested are quickly conveyed to
the winery, where an arsenal of stainless steel equipment is ready for the last
grape sorting operations, if necessary, and to transfer the grapes to their
waiting vats.
