The vintage is normally harvested in early April when optimum taste, sugar concentration and acidity are achieved. The fruit is hand picked and transported in small crates to the winery for crushing. The vines have been hand pruned, and the grapes hand picked, by the same team of local workers since the beginning. The micro climate is very favorable for viticulture because the site is protected from wind and frost, and the soil drains well.

But laws have loosened over time, with restaurants slowly granted the right to a licence without a community vote. It was only in 2015 that Boroondara residents were no longer required to vote on restaurant liquor licence applications, although polls are still required for pub and club licence applications.
