Then, they harvest exclusively by hand.
Additionally , they press the whole bunches in pneumatic presses to avoid crushing. Then, they separate the juices to optimise the quality of the wines. After static settling, they ferment the wine under temperature control and then mature it on fine lees for 3 to 6 months.

The farm environmental certification is a voluntary approach. It aims to identify and promote particularly environmentally-friendly practices applied by farmers.
First, Cave de Ribeauvillé covers a single vineyard of 235 hectares with 8 Grands Crus and numerous terroirs of great value.
Then a quality charter manages the entire estate. It guarantees manual harvesting, strict control of yields, work in the vineyard using reasoned control or organic farming.
All the grapes are brought to the press in whole bunches. The juice then flows by simple gravity into the vats. Thanks to state-of-the-art equipment, the wines of the Cave de Ribeauvillé respect the purity of the grape variety and the identity of each terroir. The wines are frank, straight, fresh, fruity and express all the richness of the great Alsatian terroirs.
