Crush That

Posted September 11th, 2009 10:09 by khodgson

 

Syrah grapes so ripe they're nearly falling off the stems as they come out of the bin. It's been a hot summer here, and very little water. A pump attached to the destemmer-crusher moves the must to tank where it is yeasted immediately to trump any nasties trying to get a foothold (i.e. brett). No cold soak here; with this kind of ripeness it doesn't seem necessary.
