You need to love the art of winemaking to appreciate the beauty of red wine grapes fermenting on the skins.

These stainless steel bins are filled with Chambourcin…the last of our grapes to harvest this year. I’ve just “punched down” the caps that form on top after a few hours. Basically that means to stir the juice and grapes together…A few bees have discovered us this morning so time to cover up the bins!
