Wine making has been around for thousands of years and is a natural process that requires very little human intervention.
It is a family or friends gathering time around the vines. Choosing when to harvest the grapes is a major fact in how the wine will turn out. We used to destemmer by hand and crush the grapes with our hands. Now days, we have small corkscrew crusher to do that, so we don’t need to do the destemmer by hand. If the stem is left attached to the grape for too long, it will give off a bitter taste later.
For the next step, the pressing, we used a small mechanical press. We never did it like they do it in Italy with your feet in a huge barrel.
Pressing was done by the men in the house, from this point only the men will take care of the wine. To keep the secret of the process.
The grape juice is placed in oak barrels for red wines. During the fermentation process, the grapes’ natural sugars are converted into alcohol by wild yeasts that form on the grapes as they grow. Fermentation time varies, but is usually seven to ten days. For red wines, the skins are removed during or after the initial fermentation.
The liquid is gently pumped or bucketed by hand from the fermentation barrels into clean barrels.
The wine is finally racked, by hand, into bottles. The bottles are corked and labeled.
So, this is our traditional wine making process. In the end I raise a glass of wine and wish you a good day!
Small land was allocated in Bshealeh, named ``SHMISS`` area, on the height of 1,300 Meter above sea level
Planted the first batch of our beloved grape vines, imported from ITALY, mainly Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, with a small batch of Cinsaut
did our first production year of mixed juices to form a great red wine
our first customers were our friends and family whom enjoyed our wine on the most beautiful and warm summer nights
We thought to give this beatiful story a title and a small enterprise giving it a chance to grow.
Our processes are focused on traditional and conventional method, without adding any yeast or even sulfur to our wine, preserving its natural and organic flavors
We started cultivating wine trees, mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cinsaut… Importing them from ITEALY, when the vineyard was ready to give us grapes we started a very traditional process in wine making with much care of each grape and it paid off with a great wine to enjoy among friends and family.
Red wine is a type of wine made from dark-colored grape varieties. The actual color of the wine can range from intense violet, typical of young wines, through to brick red for mature wines and brown for older red wines.
White wine is mainly from “white” grapes, which are green or yellow in colour, such as the Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, and Riesling. Some white wine is also made from grapes with coloured skin, provided that the obtained wort is not stained. Pinot noir, for example, is commonly used to produce champagne.
