Mash truck

Name (also harvest wagon) for a tractor-drawn wagon into which the containers with the harvested grapes are emptied. They come in a wide variety of versions, including one with an attached destemmer (Rebler) for the purpose of removing the grape skeleton (Rappen). The full load is then transported to the pressing house, where pressing usually takes place as quickly as possible. Some winegrowers carry out the pressing already in the vineyard by means of a field press. See also under grape harvest and vineyard care.

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
