Wednesday morning the winery crew is ready to process last night’s grapes. The image shows the grapes being dumped onto a conveyor belt where workers remove anything that shouldn’t be there.
The clusters then pass through the stemmer that removes the stems and also dried berries and loose seeds and then drops the grapes, undamaged, onto another conveyor where the final selection is made.
The grapes are collected in a picking box at the end of the line and will be forklifted into a fermenter.
