Planting begins in the vineyard in the second half of April, beginning of May. The vintner establishes a new vineyard or adds missing vine seedlings to an older vineyard here and there in order to have a full row. The work does not stop even in the cellar, where white and rosé wines are currently being filtered. The filter has only one task – to let clean wine pass through and catch solid impurities and some yeast that could cause a scum in the bottle later. It is filtered as needed, sometimes two or three times, in order to achieve a sparkling clear and at the same time stable wine. Through careful filtration, the wine retains its purity and aromas. Only then does it go into bottles. The very effective diatomaceous earth filtration of white wine, which we visited last year at the Purus Modra winery, is mostly done as a "rough" filtration of young wines. The actual bottling is preceded by "sharp" filtration, which is capable of capturing even microorganisms.
