Crushing It During Harvest at LLWC!

/

As I, Sarah, write this, the forecast is projecting a few more glorious patio days. We hope that you’ll come drink some wine and take advantage of them before they’re gone. We’re also about finished with harvest, with two more days scheduled to bring in the rest of our Cabernet Sauvignon and Touriga Nacional. That means a few more days to sample grapes straight off the vine before they’re made into wine. Make sure you’re following us on social media to see when the grapes will be in the tasting room.

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Once the grapes are crushed, they ferment for 15-20 days (on average) before the wine is pressed and put into barrels. This is the funnest part of the winemaking process (in my opinion) and the best time to see winemaking in action. A typical press day starts around 10 am and goes until about 3:30 pm. If you’re at the winery on a press day, grab a glass from inside and come outside to try the wine straight from the press. This is your opportunity to try the wine before it’s barrel aged, bottled, and released to you 3-4 years from now! We’ll be pressing from now until the end of the month. Check our social media for exact days.
 
For the next month, we’ll have portions of the parking lot blocked off for winemaking. But don’t worry, there is plenty of parking on the street. We do ask that you respect our neighbors at both Acrafab (to our east) and Swiss Productions (to our west) and not park at their businesses.
