Here are a few pictures from this morning in Clarksburg. Yes, the shadow in these pics are yours truly. This shows you how we harvest this vineyard. The machine harvester has short paddles that gently knock the grapes and clusters off the vine and onto a conveyer belt. The conveyer belt moves the grapes into a bin that collects the grapes. Then from this bin, the grapes are loaded onto trucks that come to our custom crush facility that process the grapes under our supervision. All of this happens in the dark at nite mostly, as we start picking at 2am when the grapes are nice and cold. Just thougth I would show you all the technology that we utilize in our production. I think it is cool and hope you do too!!!
Very cool, Greg! Thanks for sharing…that is a huge machine!
