Good Morning!

This might be something you don’t think about unless you are at a winery and you see the barrels of reds sometimes have a “red stripe” and most people assume the stripe is there for wines being spilled…sometimes you might be right, but we do it with intention. Here’s a video showing you a little more about staining wine barrels!

Much LOVE and wine,

Good Morning!

Our first fruit came in early this week and we pressed over 120 tons of Sauvignon Blanc. This video shows the fruit being dropped into the press and then the bins being moved to the “staging” area. You will also see a tank truck loading up “juice” or must is really the wine term used for grape juice that is not yet fermented.

Enjoy the view!

Good Morning!

I wanted to share with you a tradition in winemaking called Blessing the Harvest. Here you will see Groth winemaker Michael Weiss be the master of the blessing for this 2012 harvest. Each winery has a little different take on this event, but most of them do something to kick off the season!

Good Morning!

Something most great vineyards do is a little thing called “green harvesting” or thinning of the fruit…..I hope this video helps you better understand why it’s done.

Good Morning!

I made a little info video of Groth wines. This is where I will be helping make wines this harvest and I am going to try to take you on a step by step journey of all the things that happen in the winery and vineyard during the harvest. I will try to keep events in order and also, I hope to have my camera handy as I travel to other wineries and wine events this fall.

Enjoy!
