 Human
resources:
The level of human
resources deployed is in line with the significant
technical investments made. Nearly 350 people are
employed year-round and this figure can reach 900
during harvesting time.
A large number of technicians (oenologists, engineers
etc.), both French and Moroccan, supported by a team
trained in every step of the winemaking process, contributes
to the making of quality wines under the leadership
of Olivier Spillebout, a French oenologist in charge
of quality and Halana winemaking.
