Poppyseed Cellars

Planning for the upcoming crush…I am going to make four wines this year, all from the Moaveni Vineyard in Bennett Valley:

1. Sauvignon Blanc: 150 lbs grapes ~= 7.5 gallons wine  ~= 3 cases
2. Syrah: 500 lbs grapes ~= 30 gallons ~= 12.5 cases  ( this one with Erwin )
3. Zinfandel: 150 lbs grapes ~= 9 gallons wine ~= 4 cases
4. Rose of Zin: 150 lbs grapes ~= 7.5 gallons wine ~= 3 cases 

I am going to be busy. This is more than I have ever tried. The good news is I have sunk my entire allowance for toys for several years into a crusher/destemmer and a bladder press, so no more renting and driving around the equipment. I’ll have it when I need it.

I do need to plan out the glass and barrels that I’ll need. I’ll start putting together a table of the required items.
