Joeswine, Hear tell all chilean juices will be in by end of week.

I heard our wine club member Bob M ordered 35+ 6 gallon buckets of juice.

 

[joeswine]

They will all be in including the grapes by this week end,Sunday is my time frame I have voigner juice plus grapes,cab plus grapes Shiraz,plus grapes and pino noir plus grapes,,,,THINKING outside the box,,,,,,what I call a mini crush first theres the juices and then I add 18lbs of pressed grapes to add to the pot ,I think this will give the product a deeper and more flavorful taste as well as better mouth feel at least thats the theory. what say you all????????????

 

[Tom]

HMmm..

TIME will tell. I am picking up my 12 buckets Sunday AM.

 

[grapeman]

Are you going to press then add that to the juice or are you going to crush the grapes and add that- more of a natural red process. Let it ferment and then press. That would add more to the tannins and stucture of the must. Sounds good to me.

HMmm..

TIME will tell. I am picking up my 12 buckets Sunday AM.

Tepe I'm hoping to pick up about a dozen buckets this weekend too. The only thing is they will be 5 gallon buckets with about 25 vines in each one to plant. Then I get to grow them for 3 or 4 years before picking anything from them. I like your shortcut method!

Let's see now 12 x25= 300. I will need to do that4 or5 times this spring to get them all planted.........

Anybody want to help?

 

[Tom]

300 vinesWOW thats alot of work! How many feet or rows will you need for them?

 

[grapeman]

The 300 vines is only part of the 13-1500 vines going in- depending on how many I let get bigger from my nursery. It is about 2 acres worth of vines. and will yield 10-20 tons when they are full grown. The 300 vines is just for this weekend- if I can get them planted in between showers.

 

[Tom]

And what are you gonna do with 10-20 TONS of grapes... Convert that into gallons of must

 

[grapeman]

That's the next step.........................
I practiced with 2 tons or so this year. Depending on severity of the freeze this last winter, I could double that 2 plus tons to 5 tons or more this year. If I don't have the Farm Winery license for this year I will expand grape and juice sales.

Ya know I looked and saw 2 pictures of 4oz bottles. I then thought that it was entered 2X. Where I made a mistake is I did not read the description. of the 2nd one. Must have not had a clear head at the time.

 

[joeswine]

APPLE MAN, my intent was to press them and add them ,juice and all to the 6 gallon batch,,letting them set 3 days or so,and extract them out of the mix????? sound ok.................
