Hadriani – Geographical area of Drama, north-east Macedonia. 1 hectare privately owned linear vineyard plot – THE TREE – Pinot noir and 0.4 hectare privately owned linear vineyard plot Agiorgitiko at an altitude of 200-300 meters. Clay soil with good drainage due to the presence of small limestones.
Yield 450 kg per hectare, which is achieved with the Green grape. A quantity of grapes is cut when they are still unripe, so that those that will remain can reach the perfect ripeness.
The harvest is nocturnal, aiming for the grapes to arrive at the winery cool and not hot, as in the daytime harvest. Thus, much faster and without thermal shock, they are cooled for pre-fermentative cryoextraction.
