Pinot Noir Grapes Inside the Still
This is a close-up of Pinot Noir grapes after a distillation of grappa. These raisin-like grapes, previously pressed for wine, but still containing lots of good alcohol, were rehydrated by us and cooked in the still. They are steamy after the run, radiating heat when we look inside and prepare to clean out the chamber.
