Time shapes character
A suite doesn't unfold in a single moment. It thrives on the relationship between its movements. Similarly, a wine isn't created the instant it's bottled. It develops over years – in the vineyard, in the cellar, in the bottle. For us, time isn't an interlude. It is creation itself.
In the vineyard
Ripening is observed, not accelerated. Harvest times follow physiological development – not the calendar. Each vintage is allowed to show what it has to offer. We don't try to standardize it.
In the basement
Aging means development, not storage. A wine remains in the barrel or amphora as long as its structure continues to grow, not as long as it seems economically viable. Several years often pass between harvest and release. This is not a delay, but a responsibility.
Release as a decision
We don't release any wine until it's ready for market. Not every wine needs to taste young. Time requires decisiveness. Patience isn't stagnation, but rather the conscious refraining from acceleration.
Duration rather than effect
We seek balance, precision, and length. Length in the finish. Length in the development. Length in the relationship with those who accompany our wines.
