	Altus's unique environment of mountains and valleys helps create a variety of different microclimates, leading to the growth of a variety of grapes, which in turn leads to the production of a variety of wines. The Wiederkehr family has chosen the locations of their vineyards through the years by carefully researching how each location affects the growth of each variety of grape. When harvest time comes, the Wiederkehr's viticulturists and wine master monitor the grapes carefully in order to harvest them at the perfect time for production. Samples of the grapes are analyzed at a lab to ensure the grapes are harvested at their peak. When it is time to harvest the grapes, they are picked and quickly taken to the winery to be crushed into the fermentation juice or "must." This must is monitored and controlled carefully by the wine master to produce the desired characteristics in the final product. The juice is then aged in casks and then later bottled and sold.
