Bottom of the Barrel

Our assistant winemaker Alta had her raingear on yesterday. It wasn’t to deal with the wintery weather, though…

When wine has been lying in a tank for a while, the tartaric acid inside the wine tends to crystalize against the inside of the tank wall.  There are a few different ways to get this off, but Alta got inside this big wooden tank with her high pressure gun, and she sprayed it off!

Winemaking sounds like such a glamorous profession, doesn’t it?
