2007 Harvest Update - 09/27/07 |
|
Forklifts fly as the fruit continues to arrive. This week we saw our first Pinot noir grapes from Two Barns Vineyard and Guadalupe vineyard. |
It all starts here. Bin after bin is carefully loaded for sorting. All of our grapes are processed immediately - there is no sitting around - and the line runs until the grapes stop coming. |
|
|
A gentle vibration loosens the delicious grapes from any unwanted debris. Attention to detail now will translate to perfection in the bottle. |
A gentle shake and a quick trip through the "bug sucker" and voila! Beautiful ripe grapes are ready for caring hands. |
|
|
Every vineyard, every row, every cluster is processed and sorted by hand. Only the best grapes will find their way into our wines. |
|
Associate winemaker, Drew Voit, works the sorting line, making sure that everything is perfect. |
