Wine Making-Top to Bottom



We were shown a fairly extensive tour of the winery that started with the vines and grape squeezer just outside the winery itself.  The tour then went inside and proceeded through the various mixing and holding tanks with focused lectures on the processes.



Several of the stops also included giving our feedback on how the vintages were doing in their aging process :)


At the lowest levels were stacks of aging vintage stored in the multi-national oak barrels in the cellar. The winery produces just over 200,000 bottles of wine annually---all of the red varieties.
