The vineyards lie at different altitudes, partly in warm valley locations, partly on cooler hillsides. This diversity of microclimates allows for targeted harvesting for freshness and aromatic depth.

Fruit-driven varieties contribute strawberry and raspberry aromas, structurally strong vines add acidity, tension, and length.
