Pinotage. Only 52 acres exist in California, so I couldn’t pass it up!

Foot treading Pinotage from Santa Cruz mountains. One of four different lots I will be making. I typically do hand crushing but felt foot treading was the call with this grape.

250lbs, 5am harvest, 3.5hr round trip drive, then work, then 12hrs of hand sorting and de-stemming. 24hr marathon. It’s going to be magical when I’m finished. This will be my last wine I make this year.

Remember to always include your children in your crafts!
