The Magic Begins: Grape Processing 2021

This week, we brought in the last of our fruit, wrapping up the picking phase of harvest with the last of our Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. After every cluster is carefully hand-harvested, we begin the labor of love transforming this delicious fruit into the wines of the future. Winemaking is an intensive process from start to finish, and our winemaker Jesse (above right) and his team will continue to be hard at work creating the magic that later goes into the bottles. Below, we've included a few snapshots of the sorting, stemming, and pressing processes for your enjoyment. Happy Harvest!
