Saturday, September 6, we received our first grapes of the 2008 harvest. Urban Wineries are different — space is limited and we have to compete with traffic but in the last 46 years things have not changed all that much.
The photos show the forklift bringing the picking box into the winery then dumping it into the conveyor and lastly the grapes being sorted on the way to the wine press. For white wines we press whole clusters and the juice is then allowed to settle in stailess steel tanks then pumped to barrels to ferment.
