Hello follow wine makers.   The fermentation process has stated and this Saturday on October 1st, 12 AM we will be pressing the grapes into a French Oak barrel.   Join us!

1. We completed with the de-steammer.  2. Grapes are then placed in a fermentation tank for a week, this will allow the yeast to multiply.   The yeast is what converts the sugars in the grapes into alcohol.    3. We will then press the grapes to get all of the juice out of them and into an oak barrel.   4.  The wine will continue to develop and mature in wood casks.          Petite Sirah grapes are also due to arrive on Thursday Oct. 29th, so we get started with fermentation Saturday afternoon.
