Stainless Steel Filling Wand
notes: label: Description
content: This L-shaped stainless steel wand was used at Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars in Napa, California during the 1990s. The wand has a shutoff valve at one end where a hose would be attached to siphon wine from one container to transfer to another. In the process of “racking” the wand is lowered into a tank and the wine is siphoned into another container, leaving behind the “lees” (yeast by-product left from fermentation) that has settled to the bottom of the tank.
