AUGUST

Hot summer days and cool nights continue in the vineyard. By the end of this month, Winemakers, Vineyard Managers and Enologist will measure the brix in the grapes almost daily, to evaluate the best time to begin the picking the fruit from the vines. Sugar content in grapes is called brix. Everything about wine is the best. In late August, early September it is time to choose, What is the best time to pick the grapes. The quality of the fruit in the vineyard becomes the richness and complexity of wine in your glass. Grape picking is done either by hand or mechanically. Some winemakers prefer grapes to be picked before sunrise to limit the photosynthesis by the sun of the grape sugars. Harvest season is also called crush season, because when the grapes are picked they are then crushed and the fermentation begins. Generally red wines are fermented with the skins to add rich red color to the future wine.
