Vine to Glass Winemaking Educational Seminar

What does “sur lies” aging really means?  What is “malolactic fermentation”?  Do you know that there is methoxypyrazine in your Merlot?  What glue is used to hold barrel staves together?  Where does the color of a red wine come from?  Hint: Not the juice!

These and other winemaking questions were answered by Notre Vue Estate Winemaker Michael Westrick and Estate Viticulturist Natalie Birch as they took us through each step of the pruning and winemaking processes, (complete with wine tasting), turning us into winemaking geniuses in only 3 hours. A great hands-on experience that was also a lot of fun!
