When we think of the grape harvest, we usually picture warm summer days and vineyards bathed in sunshine. In reality, many winemakers choose to harvest their grapes during the night or in the early hours of the morning. The reason is simple: cooler temperatures help preserve the quality of the fruit.
By arriving at the winery while still cool, the grapes retain their natural aromas and acidity, while reducing the risk of oxidation. This is especially important for white and rosé wines, where freshness and aromatic intensity are key.
Night harvesting also helps reduce the energy needed to cool the grapes before winemaking, making the process more efficient and sustainable.
Discover today's wine selections and experience wines that reflect the care and freshness of grapes harvested during the coolest hours of the night.
