Steppe Cellars Winery

We are a small winery in the lower Yakima Valley in Washington State and have started blogging to let our friends, family, and customers know what we're up to on a regular basis!

Punchdown of Grapes

We "punchdown" the grapes to mix them up during fermentation.  The wine is picking up color and tanins from the skins of the grapes.  Neil is punching down the Malbec here, which is getting close to being ready to press.
