Goals of KAWK:
-
Provide
financial
members with the
opportunity to
learn to produce
wine in the
traditional
manner, through
knowledge of
those who have
years of
experience
-
Provide
equipment for
the crushing and
pressing of wine
grapes
-
Provide a venue
-
Provide an
opportunity to
learn about the
traditions of
making wine
-
Provide social
interaction and
exchanging of
wine making
ideas and
processes
-
Arrange for
discounts for
club members for
purchases they
may wish to make
to facilitate
the production
of their
traditional
style Greek
wine.
It is intended,
initially, to have
some meetings at KAA
House and later
arrange for workshop
weekends during the
crushing season in
March 2014 when we
will bulk purchase
wine grapes and
crush and press them
as a group. In the
future, equipment
may be made
available for
individuals to do
their own crushing
and pressing.
We will also
providing
information and
assistance to
members on what is
required for the
rest of the wine
making process.
It is intended to
make these workshop
days, full day
events where we will
also arrange for a
BBQ for those
participating,
providing the avenue
not only for
learning to produce
traditional wine,
but also for social
interaction amongst
members with similar
interests.
Each person will
then be given
“musto” to start
their own
fermentation process
at home. Any
equipment that each
person may require
for themselves will
be at their own
expense (minimal
cost). We will try
to arrange deals for
bulk discounts via
the club.
The KAA has assisted
with the provision
of an automatic
crusher/de-stemmer
and wine press -
this is usually the
most expensive part
of the process.
We are asking any
Members who are
interested in
joining “KAWK” and
participating in
producing their own
traditional style
wine to register
their expression of
interest, so that we
can arrange what is
required and
organise numbers and
dates for the
activities.
Looking forward to
hearing from all
those interested.
