One of our favorite parts of harvest is inviting guests beyond the tasting room and into the heart of the w**ery, where they can experience firsthand the work that goes into every bottle.
And sometimes, that work requires a little muscle!
Here, our team is performing what we call a “roly-poly,” a hands-on technique used during our puncheon fermentations to gently roll each barrel and encourage extraction. Depending on the stage of fermentation, we may repeat this process several times a day, one barrel at a time.
It’s a labor of love, and just one of the many details that make harvest at Crocker & Starr so special.
