THE WINE MAKING PROCESS

Parts of the grape

HARVESTING

The harvesting of wine grapes (Vintage) is being one of the most crucial steps in the process of winemaking.

MECHANICAL HARVESTING

Mechanical harvesting of grapes is being one of the major changes in many vineyards in the last third of a century.

CRUSHING AND PRESSING

This is taking place depending on the enologist. Is an Optional procedure where the grape is crushed just before barrelling for fermentation, in order to liberate the contents of the berries

FERMENTATION

The primary fermentation is taking place with natural yeasts and secondary fermentation in large stainless steel or oak barrels

CLARIFICATION

The winemakers are using this process of adding a substance that bonds to particles in the wine and then sink to the bottom of the containers to removed them before bottling

The wine bottles are being seal with a cork, although alternative wine closures such as synthetic corks and screwcaps. which are less subject to cork taint, are becoming increasingly popular

The final step is adding a capsule to the top of the bottle

BOTTLING
