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)

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)

#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)

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)
