The three vineyards cover an area of approximately 1.6 hectares, on a clay-marl-schist soil, with intercalations of clay-schists and marl which tend to break down into small, thin sheets of varying colors from wine red to grey. The characteristics of the soil and the precision management aimed at maximum quality lead to a low yield, between 50 and 60 quintals per hectare.
Moscaminer takes its name from the combination of Moscato and Traminer, its original vines. The time of harvesting the grapes is determined by their optimal ripeness and can vary slightly from year to year. The grapes from each vineyard are harvested separately and immediately cooled to 8°C, before being cold processed in order to preserve all the varietal scents. The micro-vinifications of the grapes take place separately in steel. Once the alcoholic fermentation is finished, the masses of the two varieties are combined and then followed by a period of refinement, again in steel, of approximately nine months in which the batonnages are carried out on a weekly basis. To achieve optimal refinement of the wine, at least another five months of rest in the bottle at controlled temperature and humidity and in the absence of light are needed
