You can just taste the sweetness of the grapes by looking at this photo. The Canihan grapes are dry-farmed, yet full of sugary juice that creates great wines.

A side look of the bottles from the first vintage that line the barn. An aesthetic touch to the rustic barn.

After the morning harvest the grape bunches are then transferred over to the winery to be sorted & begin the fermenting process. Bill is seen here sorting through the bunches making sure no leaves, tendrils or anything foreign slips by & possibly into the wine.

The harvesters race to the tractor to dump their bins so that they can fill up quickly again. These workers hurry to get the harvest completed before it’s gets warm, to avoid any chance of premature fermentation.#canihanwines#canihanwinery#canihanvineyard#vineyard#winemaking
