Maceration
From EncycloWine
Maceration is a process which takes place during the fermentation of alcoholic beverages. The term is usually used in reference to wine, but is sometimes used with other drinks, such as pioÅ‚unówka.

 


Maceration
Maceration is the process of soaking the skins and perhaps the stems of red grapes in the wine to extract aroma, color, and tannin.

maceration: The red winemaking practice of allowing the grape juice/wine to remain in contact with the skins and seeds. This allows the colour and tannin which reside in the skins and seeds to be extracted into the wine.

maceration The practice in red wine making of allowing the grape juice or wine to remain in contact with the skins and seeds.

Maceration
The time, during which the grape's broken skins are in contact with the juice.

Maceration
The process of soaking the skins of red grapes in their juice to dissolve the skin's color, tannin and other substances into the juice.

Maceration : the pomace (skin, pips and stems) impregnate the must giving body and color.
Raking : pomace and must are separated. The must becomes "vin de goutte", the pomace becomes "vin de presse".

maceration
Process in which the must is left in contact with the skins to favour extraction of colour and aromas.

MacerationStirring the grape skins (and sometimes stems) with the wine during the fermentation process in order to extract color, tannin and aroma.

Maceration: The processes through which red wine grape (or other fruit) skins, seeds, and pulp are mixed and mashed in with the fermenting juice to extract tannins, colored compounds, and aroma from the grapes.

Maceration: The soaking, for a greater or lesser period, of the grape skins in the must which is fermenting.

Maceration Process of steeping grape skins in their juice, to extract flavour and, in the case of reds, colour and tannin. Essential for red wines, the maceration may last between a few days and a few weeks.

[edit] Maceration The contact of grape skins with the must during fermentation, extracting phenolic compounds including tannins, anthocyanins, and aroma.

Carbonic maceration
The Beaujolais process, in which whole grapes are fermented without crushing.

Carbonic Maceration: banana, bubblegum, cotton candy (spun sugar)
Floral: violet, rose petal
Oak (light): vanilla, coconut, sweet wood; (heavy) oak, smoke, toast, tar, anise, licorice ...

Carbonic Maceration
This is a fermentation process widely used in the Beaujolais region of Rhone Valley in France to produce light, early drinking reds.

Carbonic Maceration
A process of winemaking in which whole grapes are fermented without crushing them or breaking the skins. The flesh of the grape starts to ferment inside the skin.

carbonic maceration: This vinification method is used to make soft, fruity, very accessible wines. Whole clusters of grapes are put into a vat that is then filled with carbonic gas.

Carbonated Maceration: Special technique for fermenting red wines in which the whole grape undergoes enzymatic fermentation. It is used to obtain smooth, aromatic young wines.

carbonic maceration, special way of making fruity, early-maturing red wines, most notably Beaujolais, by fermenting them in a sealed vat filled with carbon dioxide.

carbonic macerationTechnique used in making Beaujolais and other wines, in which whole clusters of red grapes are placed in the fermenting tanks without crushing them. This results in a brighter, fruitier wine.

Carbonic maceration technique employed in the making of Beaujolais wines whereby CO2 generated during fermentation is used to break down the grape-bunches and release their juice. Cave French for "cellar." Cépage French for "grape variety," e.g.

Carbonic Maceration
The fermentation of uncrushed whole grapes which takes place in the site cells of the berries.

The most strategic way to do this is to employ a winemaking method called carbonic maceration. Without getting too technical, carbonic maceration is essentially the fermentation of grapes occurring inside the skins.

The production of base wine from Pinot Noir is made in white, that is by avoiding any contact of the must with the skin, whereas for rosé wines it is allowed a maceration of the skins according to the color and the organoleptic qualities wished by ...

Traditional vin gris, on the other hand, was made with no maceration: Press red grapes, drain off the juice immediately, and you'll get a true "blanc de noirs" ("white from reds") with a color that ranges from white to the palest pink tinge, ...

The skins, seeds and juice (collectively called must) will remain in the tank during fermentation (5-7 days) and maceration (between 12 and 50 days beyond the fermentation). The maceration period allows St.

A prevalence of a nail polish or vinegar odor that's a byproduct of the carbonic maceration process. This is sometimes more pronounced in some Beaujolais Nouveau than others.

Can also occur in the further step known as "maceration" where new wine is allowed to steep with the skins again. This second step usually results in a "highly extracted" style of wine, deeply colored with strong flavors and tannin.

Vinification
Usually fermented using carbonic maceration, i.e., fermented quickly under a protective layer of carbon dioxide.
Style
Refreshing, fairly sharp and best drunk young and cool if not slightly chilled.

Using the Carbonic Maceration method, the wine is made much more quickly than by traditional methods, but looses complexity in the process.

Maceration is basically the contact phase - where the must and the grape skins have maximum contact to produce good red wine color, structural tannins and extensive flavor components and nuances.

The sour, acetic flavor of a wine that has been spoiled by prolonged exposure to the air. Historically a common sign of poorly made or stored wine. Tiny quantities may be present, and acceptable, in wines made by carbonic maceration (Beaujolais), ...

Younger wine is 'better' due to higher tannic content, as is wine with long fermentation and maceration periods and less fining and filtering. For those who choose not to drink alcohol, similar benefits can be gained from eating cranberries and nuts.

Whatever method is chosen, fine wine producers often extend the maceration period beyond the end of fermentation to foster the full extraction of color, flavor and tannin.

Noted for producing somewhat light, yet deeply colored and strongly varietal, wines described as having a "Burgundian" character. Usually needs the help of carbonic maceration or hot-pressing to enhance quality.
