At the time of optimal ripeness, the grapes for the Anwilka are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective machines. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately sent to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and small wood at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging for 14 months in oak barriques.
