Inside a #silo.. where the magic of winemaking happens.. Fermentation requires two things : sugars and yeasts. A ripe organic grape is full of natural sugars and there are wild yeasts living on its skin. As soon as the skin of the grape is broken, fermentation can begin. To make wine, all the winemaker has to do is collect his grapes or raisins and gently crush them, releasing the sugary juice and exposing it to the yeasts. Fermentation will continue until all the sugar has been turned into alcohol or the level of alcohol in the juice reaches around fifteen percent, whichever is sooner. At around fifteen percent alcohol, the yeasts will die naturally and any left over sugars will remain in the wine. . . . . . . . #dexamenes #winery #beachhotel #Peloponnese #greece #travel #history #historicalhotels #photography #hotel #concrete (at Dexamenes Seaside Hotel)

That’s how the interior of a cement wine tank looks like. After the harvest of ripe raisins, the crop used to be stored in these blind concrete structures letting the magic of fermentation begin.. . . . . . #dexamenes #winery #beachhotel #Peloponnese #greece #travel #history #historicalhotels #photography #hotel #concrete (at Dexamenes Seaside Hotel)

The #cement tanks are aligned as two oblong rectangular structures. Standing out among them, the two silos with their significant capacity maximized the production of the factory.. . . . . #dexamenes #winery #beachhotel #Peloponnese #greece #travel #history #historicalhotels #photography #hotel #concrete #sky #clouds (at Dexamenes Seaside Hotel)

Wine Tanks made of #concrete?!! Many of us think that vessels for fermentation should be glass, ceramic or enamel (glass surface on metal). But cement, especially for large tanks, it is a reliable choice, too. This material is pretty close to ceramic, it is more affordable and there are coatings that are well proven over time to be compatible with wine. Cement also acts as a temperature stabilizer, a thermal flywheel. It keeps the contents cooler on a hot day and warmer on a cold night.. . . . . #dexamenes #winery #beachhotel #Peloponnese #greece #travel #history #historicalhotels #photography #hotel #concrete #art #nature #naturalart #winemaking #plants #interior #interiordesign #architecture (at Dexamenes Seaside Hotel)

#hectolitre (or HL) is a metric unit of capacity equal to one hundred litres, used especially for wine, beer, grain, and other agricultural produce. Each silo, with a capacity of about 5000HL, could store up to 500,000 liters of Corinthian raisin! . . . . . . #dexamenes #winery #beachhotel #Peloponnese #greece #travel #history #historicalhotels #photography #hotel #concrete #silo (at Dexamenes Seaside Hotel)

The construction of the winery was assigned to a French construction company, as the material of reinforced concrete was unknown in Greece in the early 1930’s. The wine factory was pioneering for that era, as it was the first time in Greece that huge concrete tanks were used for the winemaking process. . . . . . #dexamenes #winery #beachhotel #Peloponnese #greece #travel #history #historicalhotels #photography #hotel #concrete (at Dexamenes Seaside Hotel)

#patina Patina is a thin layer that variously forms on the surface of stone, copper, bronze and similar metals, wooden furniture or any such change of a surface through age and exposure. . . . . . #dexamenes #winery #beachhotel #Peloponnese #greece #travel #history #historicalhotels #photography #hotel (at Dexamenes Seaside Hotel)

The winery consisted of 42 concrete wine tanks and 2 silos. What distinguished each tank was its unique number and its capacity, both written in stencil. . . . . #dexamenes #winery #beachhotel #Peloponnese #greece #travel #history #historicalhotels #photography #hotel (at Dexamenes Seaside Hotel)

Once upon a time, the local farmers brought their crops here in order to weigh it and get the proof of weighing and delivery that would ensure their payment by ΑΣΟ, the Autonomous Currants Organization. . . . . #dexamenes #winery #beachhotel #Peloponnese #greece #travel #history #historicalhotels #photography #hotel (at Dexamenes Seaside Hotel)

A silo (from the Greek σιρός – siros, "pit for holding grain") is a structure for storing bulk materials. Silos are used in agriculture to store grain (see grain elevators) or fermented feed known as silage. . . . . #dexamenes #winery #beachhotel #Peloponnese #greece #travel #history #historicalhotels #photography #silo #wine #winetanks (at Dexamenes Seaside Hotel)

The winery used to buy the crop of Corinthian raisins from local growers in order to convert it into wine and other by-products. This picture shows part of the weighing machine of the factory. . . . #dexamenes #winery #beachhotel #Peloponnese #greece #travel #history #historicalhotels #wine #machine #weighingmachine #weighbridge (at Dexamenes Seaside Hotel)
