Birthday wine 1 |
Couldn't stop at one. Did a bit of damage to the cellar |
Panda's a bit bored with the fancy wines |
Time to get the vineyard vege garden ready for spring |
|
Pressing off is really the most beautiful sensory moment |
It's all really very simple and traditional... |
It's been done like this for centuries (ok maybe not with the hydraulics) but just as gentle |
Takes concentration... |
Wes digging the skins out of a vat into a press basket |
Foaming wild ferment |
|
|
|
The vineyard in late autumn, fruit in, nets still on... |
Precious hand picked grapes in baskets containing around 10-12 kg each |
Panda our vicious guard dog!! |
Maybe not... |
Dad delivering baskets to the destemmer |
It's all about focus and precision... |
