There’s something satisfying about putting up 18,577 bottles of freshly corked wine in your garage.
Bottling Day, Vintage 2012. Small scale but super organized.
Team in place to man the line. The joy of friends come to help.
Christian and Sonia, partners in a small bottling and labeling business, bring machinery and muscle.
We always thought that strong and competent Sonia looked young for her age. Found out yesterday was her birthday – no wonder she looks young, she just turned 23!
Henri is in all places at once, from front loading to pallet-cages to the pump in the winery.
No one complains when I serve lunch – a festive moment and much needed break. We toast with 2012, taste 2011, compare and discuss. Very different sisters, definitely same family.
Then back to work and the gratifying sight of a garage getting fatter by the hour.
Last pallet tucked away, we lock up the door on the resting 2012’s.
And turn our sights to the grapes ripening for harvest 2013.
