After fermenting and aging in steel tanks with the lees for 8 months, the bottled wine is carried to the Ridanna Monteneve mine, at over 2,000 m in altitude. Here, the wine ages in the dark for nearly 6 years, 4 km deep in the mine, in an environment that maintains constant 90% humidity and a temperature of 11°C all year long, with the air pressure the same as outdoors. 

The two vineyards are located in Söll, a subzone of Tramin. The climate is defined by an extreme interplay between sunny days and cool nights marked by the cold downslope winds from the surrounding mountains. The soil is calciferous gravel with loam on porphyry bedrock, which contributes to the minerality of the wine.

The name Epokale is a reference to an epoch, i.e. to the Middle Ages, in which the Gewürztraminer wines produced in our area used to have a higher residual sugar content.
