Romania - End of Harvest!

Below are some pics of my Granddad picking the grapes. Can anyone tell what kind of grapes these are?  Below are some pics of the vines - as you can tell they are really, really old! Great concentrated flavour from their grapes. Not only are they over 50 years old but they get their nutrients from a walnut tree that is just a few feet away! The terroir here is incredible and so is the weather! This is the last grape that needs more time to ripen but since the cold came so quick, they had to be picked immediately. This year was a good year all round.

Some pics of the cellar :)



Here is a picture of my Buni in her cellar - VERY PROUD!





Here we are filling one of the barrels.  

There is also a little secret for knowing when the wine is done.
It involves an egg, do you know what it is?
