News from the Shed

New website and harvest 2020

12/10/2020

 
Welcome to our new website, and my first blog!  We were very pleased with our original website, and it was fine for several years.  However, with some recent professional evaluation, we learned of many details that could help enhance user friendliness, as well as how it could be improved for us to more easily maintain and keep everyone up to date.  We plan to add more content in the near future, and hope you enjoy it and check-back often!​
​

Crush 2020 – well, like everything else this year, harvest had some challenges.  The white grapes came ready a bit early, but finished perfectly.  Then, smoky haze from wild fires seemed to slow the ripening of the red grapes (as if it were cloudy), but besides slightly higher pH numbers, everything came-in primo.  All of our reds were ready within a few day of each other, so we picked 11-tons at our property first, and picked another 3-tons a couple days later at the Orton’s vineyard!  After a few days of cold-soak, the 2200 total gallons of must began to ferment, and within a couple days, the winery was a carbon dioxide monster.  This year, we were fortunate to add a pneumatic press to our equipment line-up, and it is awesome!  It’s programmable and automatic, can handle up to 2.5-tons of must in one load, and is easier to load and unload.  Not to mention - increased yields and improved quality!
