Chapter 363: Make Your Own Wine

In general, the process of destemming and crushing should not be too drastic, and if the grape seeds are crushed too much, the wine may be rough and difficult to eat.

The destemmed and broken grapes are macerated in oak barrels together with the belt juice, and the beautiful colour of the red wine is achieved in this step.

The fifty oak barrels that were bought back were lined up in the square, and the spectacle was indeed a bit spectacular.

Masson is on the side to point out what to do, and this self-made wine is really not too complicated, not as delicate as that of professional manufacturers.

The barrels are filled until they are eight minutes full, and then it's time to wait. Generally speaking, the wine can be filtered in a week, and after the wine is separated, it will be fermented for about 20 days, and the homemade wine can be tasted.

If you want to taste better, let it sit for a longer time, usually 3 to 6 months.

"Little fat man, do you have to let us taste this wine?"

"Then I have to ask the owner of the garden, and the owner agrees with me. Without raising his head, Masson kicked the ball to Luo Tong.

"Okay, everyone will try it then. "Luo Tong is not stingy, there are so many oak barrels, it is estimated that a lot of wine will come out by then.

"Thank you so much. "Nowadays, everyone calls Luo Tong the owner of the garden, and few people call her by her name directly.

Thinking of this wine, Luo Tong suddenly had an idea in his heart. This is a lot of people here, and it's not appropriate to say it, so let's wait for a while when there are no people.

Now that the preliminary work for this wine is done, the next thing is to wait. Seeing that there was no excitement to see, everyone left in twos and threes.

Sheng Qiwu had already noticed Luo Tong's strange appearance, he took off his hat and fanned the wind on the ground.

"What's wrong?

"How about we do a wine-making event?" Luo Tong hesitated a little, it was just a thought that had just crossed her mind.

"Tell me specifically?" Sheng Qiwu's interest also came, but he still had to hear what Luo Tong thought.

"I mean, the orchard is open normally, and you can buy the grapes back, or you can make your own grapes directly here, and then send them to the customer when the wine is ready, do you think it's okay?"

"I think it's pretty good," Masson interjected, never leaving. It is estimated that as soon as this event comes out, there will be a lot of participants.

"I think it's good, Tongtong, you're so smart. ”

Sheng Qiwu also thinks that this idea is good, and it fully satisfies the fun of tourists doing it themselves. When they taste the wine they have made, it will be even more interesting.

Luo Tong was embarrassed, "I just thought of it, but it's all your work." ”

Speaking of this, Luo Tong blushed, many things were just one of her thoughts, but she let others follow behind and keep busy, but she couldn't help herself.

But then she put this loss behind her, and there was still work to be done.

As soon as this home-brewing wine activity began, there was an endless stream of tourists coming to Shimizu Village, many of whom were dragging their families, after all, it was already July at this time, and the students were on summer vacation.

Parents don't want their children to be at home all the time in front of their mobile phones and computers, and it just so happens that there is such an event here in Shimizu Village, and almost everyone is rushing here.

Not only can you go to the vineyard to pick wine, but also experience the process of making wine with your own hands, not only children but also adults are addicted to it.

Soon, the shelves of the cellar were lined with glass jars. Each jar is marked with the name and contact information of the visitor, and when the finished wine comes out, it can be sent to the customer.

This also led to a sharp increase in Masson's workload during this time, and Luo Tong could see that Masson gradually lost weight, but he was still a little fat compared to ordinary people.

Before, Luo Tong was worried that there would not be enough grapes in the vineyard with so many tourists, but later he found out that this situation would not occur at all.

This is the second year, and last year the vines were not very fruitful, but this year it was like a hormone and it was fruitful.

Moreover, when the trees were planted, they were relatively sparse, and these vines grew very well and flourished.

According to the calculation of 500 catties of grapes per tree, the output of these 400 vines is 200,000 catties, which is quite a huge number, which is enough for tourists to consume.

The grape harvest has come to an end and the vines are back to fruit. Luo Tong has also been reading the information, knowing that these two results hurt the tree very much, and all these newly grown fruits were removed.

This is also for a better harvest next year, and this kind of killing chickens and eggs cannot be done.

"Owner, we can filter this residue today. ”

After breakfast, Masson wiped his mouth and proposed, calculating that the time was about the same.

"Okay, shall we go in the morning?"

"Yes, it's early, not late. Masson couldn't wait, this was his first time making wine, and I don't know where he came from to be so bold to dare to make so many at once.

"Then let's go and have a look together," Grandpa Sheng put down the dishes and chopsticks, and originally wanted to go to the lotus pond to pick some lotus leaves after dinner, but he didn't go, but also went to the wine cellar to have a look.

Luo Tong quickly cleaned up the table, "Okay, let's go together." ”

The wine cellar is underground, and Luo Tong shivered as soon as he entered, and the temperature inside was indeed much lower than outside.

It was a little uncomfortable to come in at first, but it took a few minutes to get used to it.

At the beginning, not all of these oak barrels were used, and there were still a dozen or so left to put aside, and now they will come in handy?

The filter residue is the sake that is naturally precipitated, and the other is the sake that is pressed after the residue is concentrated.

Comparatively speaking, the former is naturally more high-quality. When he first bought the oak barrels, Luo Tong also bought a set of equipment for separating the residue, which also saved a lot of trouble.

Masson operated the equipment and poured out the crimson grape juice. Yes, it's just grape juice now, and in order to turn it into wine, it has to go through a second fermentation.

Sheng Qiwu took half a cup and sipped it slightly, "The taste is not bad, I can already taste a hint of wine, but I still need to store it for a while." ”

Luo Tong poured a glass for Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng, after all, this is still grape juice, and it doesn't matter if you taste it.

Sure enough, at present, it is all grape juice, and the wine taste is very light, and Luo Tongchai is estimated to be about the same after two or three months of storage.

After a busy morning, 36 barrels of naturally precipitated wine were obtained, and 4 barrels of wine were pressed again from the residue.

Masson specially marked these 4 barrels, after all, the quality of these 4 barrels is definitely not as good as the former.
