The soils are characterised by calcareous marl and sandstone, and the varieties are each planted in suitable expositions to accommodate their divergent ripening characteristics. All fruit is hand-picked.

Winemaking is very simple, predominantly using traditional techniques and only employing technological advantages where they do not interfere with natural expression. Fermentations are indigenous and are allowed to progress at their own pace. Each wine is matured according to their characteristics, in vessels ranging from stainless steel to traditional casks, with some small French oak barrels employed for some of the reds.
