From website:

The new Mediterranean style winery is an extremely high-tech, gravity flow design that uses the sloping hillsides to transfer wine. The grapes are crushed at the top of the hill, and from that location the tank room is 22 feet below the crushing pad and the bottling rooms are 22 feet below that. The use of gravity flow is much gentler on the grapes, which helps to preserve the quality of our wines. Our tanks are monitored and run by computer so that all the temperatures and rates of fermentation can be precisely controlled. At the end of the fermentation a graph is printed showing the fermentation temperatures each day during harvest. The winery is also equipped with automatically timed pump-over devices on each tank. These devices allow the winemaker to pump-over the red wines at least six times per day, producing a more extracted, colorful, flavorful, full bodied wine. Today, the Rabbit Ridge winery is the largest on the west side of Paso Robles.
