Hello!
I am newer to the whole winemaking world and do not have tons of experience. I purchased a property this last year on 6.5 acres that had an established vineyard on it. We have around 400 primativo vines on about an acre of the land. This last harvest was fairly dismal as the vines had not been taken care of for a while (couple of years, no pruning, no fertilizing, etc.). I did lots of reading and with a minor amount of help took the harvest from picking to wine currently aging.
The reason for my questions is I am looking to build a new shop on my property and have some dedicated space for doing miniature winery operations.
What physical size would you ideally have for wine making? I would also like to eventually have some space for brewing as well.
What are some key attributes you would want for your space? (i.e. insulation, water, power, center draining floor?
I am working on designing my building but don't want to sell myself short in the long run.
Thanks for your input...
