Pumping over some beautiful Petit Verdot- We’re thinking this stuff is possibly reserve wine material! Check back in 2022 or 2023 ;) #vawine

[Jefferson Vineyards @th_jefferson]

Petit Verdot time! We picked the last of our Petit Verdot, off to the destemmer, then to a tank for fermentation. Things are looking really promising despite the challenges we’ve faced this year!

[Jefferson Vineyards @th_jefferson]

When the punch downs are this easy, you know fermentation is winding down! We’ll be pressing this Merlot off it’s skins in a few days and then transferring it to barrel... #vawine

[Jefferson Vineyards @th_jefferson]

Pressing Viognier! From here we pump the juice into a tank and allow it to settle before transferring to barrels for fermentation. #vawine

[Jefferson Vineyards @th_jefferson]

Punching down our Merlot: We do this 2-3 times a day during fermentation in order to keep the yeast healthy and extract all that goodness from the berries! #vawine

[Jefferson Vineyards @th_jefferson]

Chardonnay harvest this morning! Thanks to David, Khanh, Hector and the crew!

[Jefferson Vineyards @th_jefferson]

It’s been a tough year in the vineyard with all the rain but our Chardonnay is coming along nicely. Hopefully we can pick next week at the end of this dry spell...🤞

Merlot in our Upper Vineyard nearly through with veraison (when the grapes turn from green to red)....

[Jefferson Vineyards @th_jefferson]

The animals love Pinot Gris as much as we do! This tightly woven netting helps protect the fruit against birds, Turkey, deer, etc. Weather permitting it should be ready in another week or two!

[Jefferson Vineyards @th_jefferson]

We just wrapped up bottling for the year- Petit Verdot, Vin Rouge, and a couple surprises! Stay tuned... #vawine
