Seneca Falls Winery is a small, family-run operation in upstate New York. The winery produces two vari- eties of wine: riesling and chardonnay. Among the activities engaged in by the winery are the following:
Â
|
(LO 5-2, 5-3, 5-6, 5-7) |
1. |
Trimming: |
At the end of a growing season, the vines are trimmed, which helps prepare them for the next harvest. |
|
 |
2. |
Tying: |
The vines are tied onto wires to help protect them from the cold. (This also occurs at the end of the season.) |
|
 |
3. |
Hilling: |
Dirt is piled up around the roots to help protect them from frost. |
|
 |
4. |
Conditioning: |
After the snow melts in the spring, dirt is leveled back from the roots. |
|
 |
5. |
Untying: |
The vines are untied from the wires to allow them freedom to grow during the spring and summer months. |
|
 |
6. |
Chemical spraying: |
The vines are sprayed in the spring to protect them from disease and insects. |
|
 |
7. |
Harvesting: |
All of the grapes of both varieties are picked by hand to mini- mize damage. |
|
 |
8. |
Stemming and crushing: |
Batches of grapes are hand-loaded into a machine, which gently removes the stems and mildly crushes them. |
|
 |
9. |
Pressing: |
After removal from the stemmer/crusher, the juice runs freely from the grapes. |
|
 |
10. |
Filtering: |
The grapes are crushed mechanically to render more juice from them. |
|
 |
11. |
Fermentation: |
The riesling grape juice is placed in stainless steel tanks for fer- mentation. The chardonnay grape juice undergoes a two-stage fermentation process in oak barrels. |
|
 |
12. |
Aging: |
The riesling wines are aged in the stainless steel tanks for approximately a year. The chardonnays are aged in the oak bar- rels for about two years. |
|
 |
13. |
Bottling: |
A machine bottles the wine and corks the bottles. |
|
 |
14. |
Labeling: |
Each bottle is manually labeled with the name of the vintner, vintage, and variety. |
|
 |
15. |
Packing: |
The bottles are manually packed in 12-bottle cases. |
|
 |
16. |
Case labeling: |
The cases are hand-stamped with the same information that the bottles received. |
|
 |
17. |
Shipping: |
The wine is shipped to wine distributors and retailers, mainly in central New York. Generally, about 100 cases are shipped at a time. |
|
 |
18. |
Maintenance on buildings: |
This is done during the slow winter months. |
|
 |
19. |
Maintenance on equipment: |
This is done when needed, and on a routine basis for preventive maintenance. |
