grapes natural and stable components.\nWhen they are ripened, they are picked.\n
This can be done mechanically, but most places still prefer to do this by hand. This is because the machinery can be too rough and many of the grapes can be damaged.\n
When all the grapes are collected, the bunches will be sorted, removing any which are damaged or bruised.\n
Crushing and Pressing\n Traditionally, men and women alike used to perform the harvest dance in large barrels.\n
The fruit would be crushed under foot, releasing the juices that are essential for wine making.\n
This romantic notion and tradition has been lost with the introduction of machinery, which saves on time.\n
Some wine makers allow the fermentation process to naturally burst the skin. Some pressing machines can also do this at a faster rate, increasing productivity.\n
To make white wine, grapes are pressed and the skin is immediately removed so the juice is separated and contained.\n
In red wine making, the skin is left in contact with the fruit to deepen its colorisation and heighten its flavor and scent.\n
Fermentation\n Natural fermentation can begin from between six to twelve hours after pressing.\n
Some containers are left bared to the air, where the wild yeasts can mingle and quicken the process.\n
The process continues until the sugar is fully converted, making a dry white wine.\n
Fermentation is anywhere from ten days to a month.\n
Clarification\n The wine can be siphoned from tank to barrel, barrel to rack.\n
If any solids (also known as pomace) remain from the fermenting process, they are disposed of, and sometimes used in the scrap food given to farm animals.\n
Sterile filter pads remove any sign of life in the wine.\n
Occasionally, solids are added, which people believe will remove any remaining life in the wine.\n
Aging and Bottling\n Once in bottles, they are labelled and shipped out to stores or houses where it is made available to the general public.\n
Aging is when the bottle is stored for a length of time, where the price value increases.\n
Aging can also take part in tanks, ovals or barriques. Interestingly, the process can be taken into your own home, with wine making kits readily available from superstores and specialist stores.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
