🧠It’s big brain time 🤓

As our fresh pressings go through the ebbs and flows they experience during fermentation we carefully monitor them through lab work and periodic tastings.

Monitoring these changes will be crucial over the next few months as they will directly impact the decisions we make with the wines.

While our intervention remains minimal so as to preserve the characteristics of the fruits’ terroir, there are some things that simply must be done to keep the wine safe, control fermentation, and ensure proper development until they are bottled.

Furthermore, the periodic tasting helps to decide blends we may pursue during the upcoming vintage.

The barrels we use to age our wines are entirely dependent on the flavors we want the final product to exhibit.

Oak barrels are what are typically used to age wines because they allow micro oxygenation which allows flavors to develop, “maturing” the wine.

The extra flavors the wines develop during this process are dependent on both the species of oak used to build the barrels as well as the level of toasting the staves and heads of the barrels receive.

For example, lighter toast will usually equate to more mellow vanilla and caramel notes while a heavier toast will lead to darker smokier flavors such as espresso and dark chocolate.

As it so happens we have just acquired a whole barrel room full of new oak to put these principles into practice!

As the harvest of our estate draws to a close we reflect on the season with a bittersweet gaze.

We think of all that our outstanding volunteers and ourselves have accomplished over the past couple of months and, of course, all of the friends we’ve made along the way.

Despite the trials and tribulations that we have faced during this vintage, it was, as always, a tremendously rewarding and cathartic experience. We can’t believe it’s over.

We almost wish it wasn’t.

There’s still plenty of work left to be done to transform these humble grapes into world-class wine!

We hope to see all our friends again next year!
