The Night Harvest at Clos Pons: A Strategy That Guarantees Quality
At Clos Pons, the harvest is not just a tradition, but a ritual that we honor with dedication and passion. This year, as every year, we rise early to ensure we harvest the best from our vineyards. It’s a process that begins before the sun rises on the horizon, when the air is still fresh, and the grapes retain all their purity and freshness.
Why do we opt for night harvesting? The answer is simple: the early hours of the day allow us to preserve the aroma, texture, and quality of each grape. At this time of day, the grapes are at their purest, ensuring that when they reach the winery, they are in optimal condition for the production of our wines.
The morning freshness is crucial to maintaining the unique characteristics of our grapes. During the day, the heat can affect the composition of the fruit, reducing its quality. That’s why rising early is worth it: each grape is picked at its perfect moment, allowing us to offer a wine that reflects the best of our land and our effort.
This year, we want to share with you a closer look at this special process. We’ve prepared a video that showcases the night harvest in all its splendor.
Our winemaking team is committed to every detail, and this is one of the key techniques for creating exceptional wines.
