On the Bottling Line
February marks the start of the bottling season here at Sokol Blosser! Right now, we're bottling the 12th Edition of Evolution, our popular white blend. In another month or so, we'll start bottling our Pinot Noir.
Bottling in the cold has it's interesting challenges... not only do your fingers not work as fast as you'd like, but as the temperatures vary, the wine will expand and contract and cause all sorts of filling problems. To make sure that each bottle ends up with exactly 750ml of delicious Evolution and to ensure the quality of the wine, we use a series of warming tanks to heat the wine slightly so that the wine is bottled at the appropriate temperature.
We'll keep you updated on bottling techniques as the weeks pass... until then, stay warm, and cheers!
Our Winery is now full to the brim of empty glass bottles... soon to be filled with Evolution, 12th Edition.

A finished pallet... 1 pallet = 56 cases = 672 bottles = 3360 glasses of delicious Evolution, 12th Edition!
