Grape Reception The grapes are towed to the press. They are picked over for a first time according to the vineyard where they are grown. At Pfaffenheim we the grapes are always picked by hand. The grapes are placed in a container then pressed immediately in the presses below. Cellars We separate the free-run juice, the press wine and the juice from the last pressing. The new pneumatic presses enable us to graduate the pressings. We separate the different pressings according to thelevels of pressure required.		Vats There are three sorts of vats at Pfaffenheim. We have kept glazed reinforced concrete ones that date from the time when the Cave was opened. However, in 1995 we acquired a number of temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for microvinification which are amongst the most modern in Alsace . Finally, we have two mechanized pumping over tanks which are used for making Pinot noir ( Alsace red wine) but we also treasure the 225 l barrels kept in our basements that we use for ageing our Pinot noir. Centrifugation and Filtration Room Three Westfalia centrifuges rack the must and cleanse it of impurities. Once the deposit has been removed from the must is sent to the fermentation vats. All our wines are clarified by filtration in Spring. Then they are vatted and rest on their lees until bottling which usually occurs 8 to 12 months after the harvest.
