Making Our Wine – Photo Essay

Friday • December 10, 2010

	Is she picking grapes or having coffee?
	Preparing to crush
	Crushing, removing stems and leaves
	Crushed grapes
	Fermentation begins in bins

	First filtration
	Pressing off the juice from the skins
	Wine rests in the barrels
	Zin on Hungarian Oak.
	Vines are asleep; harvest and barreling are complete
