2020 First Harvest Auxerrois---Part 2
On Saturday, September 19, 2020 I blogged about 2020 First Harvest Auxerrois---Part 1 about our first harvest which is Auxerrois that occurred on Thursday, September 17, 2020. We are working once again with Jonathan Edwards and his crew to process our grapes and shepard our juice into wine.
On Thursday, my husband and I took the last load and a half of harvested grapes to the winery. At the winery the grapes were weighed and put into the press.
Since it was the end of the work day for the Jonathan Edwards crew, we left the grapes in the press and agreed to convene on Friday morning. At 9 a.m. on Friday, September 18, 2020 the entirety of the Auxerrois harvest, all 1670 pounds were pressed using the gentlest press cycle:
The pressed juice was put into two stainless steel barrels and we estimated the juice to be approximately 135 gallons.
We left the juice in the barrels to cold settle over the weekend. Stay tuned for Part 3 of what we did after the cold settling.
