Travelog post for: Lucky bunny

A few days back, i visited a vineyard in nashik,which is small town around 150 km from Mumbai.

The Indian Wine making is a very New Industry and growing very fast . the vineyard i visited was just 3 yrs old.

I was given a tour of the facility first. we saw where grapes were recieved, destemmed, crushed and then fermented in Huge steel vats under controlled temperature. i was also shown the automatic wine filtering and bottling machine.

Then i was taken to the cellar where some of the wines were aged in oak casks to improve the taste and boquet characteristics.

i learned that pottasium Bi meta sulphate was added as a perservative in wine to maintain the SO2 levels.

Later i did some wine tasting.. t

the trip was a lot of fun buut very tiring and long.
