Grapeseed Oil from the Source

BlogPic---10-31-06.jpg

Normally, after our harvest and crush time is over the leftover grape pumace from the winemaking process goes into our huge compost piles for use in the vineyards as fertilizer the following year. But these enterprising naturalists surprised us with their request - they wanted to use our seeds to make homemade grapeseed oil.

Using a contraption that they engineered themselves, they are pictured above seperating the grape seeds from the skins. It's a long process, but we have confidence that the final product will be worth the toil!

As soon as we have more details about where you can purchase grapeseed oil made from Sokol Blosser's own Pinot Noir grapes, we'll be sure to post it right here on this blog - so check back often!
