The harvest is over, and the last of the reds get pressed off their skins after weeks of fermentation. It's an all encompassing feeling as the work on the fruit itself has culminated to its end for another year. The skins dumped back to the earth, to be composed back. Another vintage done. Not quite neat and tidy. But most of the biggest choices are behind us.
Winemaking is something that a person can do most of their adult life and really only do 40-50 times most likely. Think about it, brewers make mulitple batches, bakers create multiple loaves, carpenters build all year. But most winemakers only get to make wine once a year, play with the fruit once, perfect their skill once a year. (twice if you're a real travelling winemaker.) So it all comes to that critical point at harvest.
All season we've plan, we've ponder, we think about what made our wins and figure out how to not repeat the fails. We add tweeks to last year, with the goal of creating something better than the vintage before if the vintage allows.
And when all it is done, and theres that final press, you get to drink champagne, and throw out the boots you've worn into the ground.
CHEERS!

Oh wow! So its already machines that pressed the grapes? The one that came to mind was those times that people use their hands/feet. Just googled now.... 😅 It would be totally cool if you upload videos of your wine making! Do tag me if you decide to do that. I'm damn curious.
We've come a long way from foot stomping, but only sometimes. lol. If I can figure out the video side of it all, I'll tag yea :) There's some other good winemaking photos too if you take a look back at some of my other posts. Follow along for more in the future
Oh! For the video platform, head to 3speak.tv. Register using an email then it will ask you to connect with your Hive account.
Yeah! looking forward on your future blogs!
Thats really bad ass, and I am serious. One thing that I have heard from beer brewers, is people who make wine can blame it on a bad vintage, but still that can only be a good excuse if all fruit has been wiped out be a freak storm or something, right? I would suppose there is always fruit to work with. lol
So let me ask you, after making the wine, and getting it all up to rest in barrels, or what not, are you sick of it, and would rather go for a beer?
There is a lot of beer involved in making wine they say. ALOT of beer. Don't get sick of it often, maybe some of the stuff I make cuz I've had it so many times.
LOL, and I can understand the getting tired of your own stuff.
