Punch Down

The yeast has taken off in the 08 estate, eating all that sugar and turning it into alcohol. So now we just need to punch down the cap at least twice a day - to ensure those grape skins don't dry out. The must is hanging around 76 degrees, which is a good temperature (we think!).

Thanks to Andy Sandburg and the folks at SNL for their inspiration during this stage of our winemaking operation!
