Chapter 705 Making Wine

In the vineyard wooden house

Early in the morning, after Yang Chen and his group visited the vineyard, they came to a clean wooden house on the mountain. After several people changed into clean work clothes.

Sitting in a row, washing feet.

That's right, just wash your feet.

Wash it over and over again, braised it, steam it...

Next, Mayor Darwin wanted to teach Yang Chen to make wine, which is said to be the most primitive method of making wine, "step on wine."

After cleaning his feet, Mayor Darwin wiped his feet while urging his youngest son, and ordered: "Take the cleaned grapes over."

After hearing the order, Luci quickly brought a basin of clean grapes not far away to his father.

Then, he whispered: "Dad, remember to mark this."

When Mayor Darwin heard this, he was furious, widened his eyes and said fiercely: "What are you doing? Can't I drink mine? You boy, I think you want to be beaten, right?"

Luci was glared fiercely by his father, and quickly shrank his head and didn't dare to say anything.

It is natural for me to beat my son.

Luci, who has been beaten a lot since childhood, was respectful and afraid of his father, so he naturally did not dare to talk back.

On the other hand, Hans put a basin of washed grapes in front of Yang Chen, and then quickly brought a basin to Meiren Lan and her sister Lina.

The wooden basin is about one meter in diameter and is filled with green grapes, full of them, which looks very attractive.

Seeing that his son became honest, Mayor Darwin changed his face instantly and turned to Yang Chen and smiled: "Mr. Yang Chen, the whole process of the top wine is carried out manually. Nowadays, many wine factories use machines to send grapes sent by machines. The grape seeds are easy to break, which will affect the taste to a certain extent.

The grapes squeezed out by people are not easy to break, and can separate the flesh and grape seeds very well. The top wine must be squeezed out by girls..."

In a long time, when there was no mechanical processing, people could only make wine by stepping on their feet.

Wine stomping originated in Western European countries. The earliest grape stomping was a traditional method used by locals to celebrate the grape harvest.

However, many people think that the wine you step on with your feet is unhygienic and dare not drink it, but as mechanized processing gradually becomes popular, most people really can't drink this wine you step on with your feet.

Due to the large output scale of wines sold on the market, if you use the original method of trampling on your feet, it will waste a long time and the labor cost will be greatly increased.

Therefore, generally breweries will not use this method.

Most of the wines made using this traditional method are the top-notch wines, so the price is naturally relatively expensive.

Just whether it is expensive or second-hand, usually, most of the wines are available only in private wineries, and they are almost non-selling products and are self-made and drinkable.

Of course, not everyone can step on wine. Generally speaking, girls' feet are used to step on grapes.

As for why it is a girl

I guess there is no need to explain too much, and no one will drink wine stepped on by the big men or the old men and women.

Of course, the premise is to know.

If you don't know, you have to drink it.

Of course, this situation is almost impossible to encounter. After all, few big men will sell the wine they step on to sell.

Everyone stood in the wooden basin while stepping on the grapes, and listened to Mayor Darwin's introduction to the grapes "Syrah" under his feet.

In Australia, the 'Syrah' grape was introduced here since the mid-19th century and has been unknown since then. By the 1970s, the 'Syrah' had become the most popular variety for Australian vineyard owners.

Because of its easy cultivation, good quality, resistance to disease and strong stress resistance, Syrah grapes occupy nearly half of the Australian grape output, and are the most representative grape variety in Australia today.

None

Syrah is known as the prince of red grapes, and along with musk is considered to be the two oldest grape varieties.

Earlier, Syrah did not get the popularity it deserves worldwide except for its origin France.

It was not until the 1970s and 1980s that Australia had large-scale planting of Syrah, the name of Syrah’s grape prince, that it was well deserved.

With the development of Australian wine, Syrah has gradually become a popular variety, and the Australian wine industry has also become famous all over the world.

Syrah grapes are very similar to Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The fruits are small and thick and dark in color. They often cannot fully mature in cold areas. The wines made from Syrah grapes have dark and thick wines, medium-high tannins and acidic substances, and full body. They usually have black fruits (such as blackberries) and dark chocolate flavors.

In milder climates, Syrah wines may also have the flavors of herbs (such as mint), smoked meat and spices (black pepper).

In hot climates, Syrah wine will show more sweet spice flavors (such as licorice, cloves, etc.), and will develop exquisite animal and plant flavors after aging.

The wines made from Australian Syrah have a sweeter and more mature taste. Usually, the grapes have a little sour taste, but the Syrah grown in the Northern Territory is very sweet and so sweet that people can't stop after trying it.

The main process of making wine is to crush the grapes, then add sugar liquid, add yeast, and ferment...

Whether it is a business or a professional winemaker, they must go through this brewing process.

Soon, less than twenty minutes later, the grapes under everyone's feet turned into a pool of meat paste and grape juice.

Soaking your feet with grape juice makes Yang Chen feel sour and refreshing.

"Is this honey?" Yang Chen dipped a little honey in the honey pot with his finger, "It's a bit stingy, it's real honey."

Lina reminded her while pouring honey: "Prepare ten to one, the jar on your hand is better, just pour it in directly."

The blue beauty said silly and sweetly: "This grape juice is sweet enough, and with honey, it will be even sweeter."

With her little head, she couldn't figure out how two sweet things turned into wine together.

Unexplained, she honestly poured the honey from the jar into a container filled with wine sauce.

Yang Chen poured Lina's prepared yeast into a container and asked while stirring: "How long will it take to brew it?"

Lina saw that he was curious and smiled: "At least three months or six months."

Yang Chen: “…”

‘Damn, for so long, wouldn’t I be working in vain today?’

‘I’ve been taken to be a strong man for a while.’
