Here it is, the 3rd episode of the harvest saga at the Chateau Saint Nabor, in this video you will discover the journey of red grapes until finished wine.

Translation:

"Hello and welcome to the blog of Chateau Saint Nabor, today I will talk about the arrival of the red grapes until the finished wine.

As you saw in the last episode the machine harvested grapes arrive in bins. They go through the destemmer and are sent into the tanks with a pump.

All along the fermenting process the juice in contact with the skins will extract the components that will build the body of the wine. The time of maceration depends on the type of wine wanted; the longer it will be, the more the wine will be concentrated.

When we get the best balance in the wine we decide to shovel out the grapes. First the juice is being drained out of the tank, this is called the free run juice. Then we shovel out the grapes into the press, the juice extracted is called pressed juice. The two juices are generally blended but they can also be kept apart to balance the wine.

The finished wine will be filtered during the winter."

A bientôt // Cheers Famille Castor
