The first step to making wine is to grow vines, which produce grapes.

Winegrowers start the harvesting process when the white, red, or black grapes reach their desired maturity.

Crushing the whole clusters of fresh ripe grapes is traditionally the next step in the wine making process. 

Given the right conditions, grape juice will ferment and turn into wine! Fermentation is key to the winemaking process, as the sugar in the liquid is transformed into alcohol.

Once fermentation is completed, the clarification process begins. Winemakers have the option of racking or siphoning their wines from one tank or barrel to the next in the hope of leaving the precipitates and solids called pomace in the bottom of the fermenting tank. 

The final stage of the wine making process involves the aging and bottling of wine. Aging wines before bottling helps to develop greater subtlety, thickness, depth, and character. Bottling is usually carried out directly on the property, in the winery, to protect from counterfeits and unauthorized blends.
