Our Year 10 Agriculture, Horticulture and Viticulture students in Semester 1 and 2 have been involved in the various stages of the winemaking process. This semester, students have spent a significant amount of time caring for the vineyard. They have been pruning, removing unwanted shoots and monitoring the plant growth.
They have also been involved in learning about the bottling of the wine made earlier this year. We were fortunate to have the guidance of Dr Andrea Roberts-Davison from Melbourne Polytechnic join us again as the students learned about the process. On Thursday 26 October, the students worked together to clean the bottles before purging them with gas, filling them and then corking and capping.
A huge thank you to our McAuley Park Farm staff and Science support staff for all their assistance on the day.
