Destemmed grapes



We finished destemming the grapes and decided that next year we are getting a destemming machine. We have a yield of about 2L white grapes (Solaris - 5+vines) and 16L red grapes (Rondo - 5 vines).  That's a lot of destemming. As we didn't have any white last year, this will be our first try at white wine. We only had about 2L of red grapes last year, so this is definitely an improvement. 


Next step, I will crush the grapes using a Moulin and/or potato ricer/masher. And then we ferment. Wish me luck.
