Goosecross: Pressing Cabernet Franc
It’s all glamour, working at a winery! In this 2-minute video you’ll see the Cabernet Franc being drained and the grape skins being shoveled out of the fermentation tank and pressed after the fermentation is over. Enjoy!
Goosecross: What is Fermentation?
In this 2-minute video wine fermentation, the conversion of grape juice to wine, is explained. Enjoy!
Goosecross: Pumping Over the Cap
We continue with winemaking at Goosecross Cellars in the Napa Valley, two minutes at at time. The “cap” has risen, we’ve added the yeast, and now it’s time to begin “pump overs”. The cap refers to the layer of skins that rise to the top during red-wine fermentation. Enjoy!
Goosecross: Starting the Fermentation
Wonder how we get the fermentation started? In this 2-minute video Goosecross Winemaker, Geoff Gorsuch, inoculates the Syrah (mixes and adds the yeast) to begin fermentation. Enjoy!
Goosecross: Crushing Cabernet Franc
Enjoy this 2-minute video of stemming and crushing the Cabernet Franc from our Estate here at the Goosecross winery in Yountville, Napa Valley. Join us on our crushpad – you’ll see how the freshly picked grapes go into the hopper and are fed into the small machine called a crusher-stemmer before going into a fermentation tank. Fermentation for this Cabernet Franc took about one week. Cheers!
Harvest at Goosecross
Check out this short video of our Estate Merlot being hand harvested. Enjoy!
