Now, as you probably know I make wine! For those of you that didn't know you do now. We make a red wine from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and sometimes Malbec. We source our grapes from Kumeu and then the rest is made in my basement.
It is the making of the wine that really interests me. I love the science, creation, and just getting my hands dirty. The grapes are crushed and destemmed with our own machine and then transported by car to my house. It is here that the wine ferments for about 7 days and is then left with the skins for a further 3 weeks, or until ready by taste.
It is a real team building exercise and everybody lends a hand where necessary and the result is seen in the video. Enjoy.
