Making Red and White Zinfandel September 2004:
Bailey wants some grapes
My buddy Gerald with the Zinfandel grapes after picking up 20 cases at 36 lbs each at Corrado's Market in Clifton. Gerald chrushing the grapes after all the equipment was sanitized.
The stems are removed and empty into the second container during crushing. A close up of the Zinfandel grapes
The crushed grape skins in the sweet juice at almost 26 Brix. The acid level needed to be adjusted and minimal sulfites were added.
Some juice was removed off the skins right after crushing to prevent too much color extraction for a small batch of White Zinfandel.
After two different strains of yeast were added to the two batches, an afternoons work is complete and the wait for fermentation begins.
The foaming cap after the start of fermentation less than a day later.
The following weekend loading the press to press the juice off the shins. Free run juice flowing through the press while loading.
