"Wine making method"
A. De-stemming: the so-called de-stemming refers to the removal of the stem from the fruit in order to avoid excess bitterness and astringent flavors in the wine.
B. Crushing: the skin is rubbed and gently crushed, called crushing.
C. Fermentation: Yeast is added to the crushed grapes (with skins and seeds). This is because the color of red wine comes from the skins and the astringency is the flavor released from the seeds.
D. Squeezing: the fermented wine is squeezed in a press.
E. Fermentation: Separation of the pressed wine from the skins and seeds, followed by fermentation of the wine only. This stage is the key to determining the flavor of the wine, and a fully fermented and matured wine is one that does not have a sweet taste.
F. Desludging: After fermentation, the dissolved residual material will settle automatically and can be removed smoothly, this process is called desludging.
G. Maturing: The wine is then racked into barrels so that it can fully mature, which takes about two years (although there are cases where the maturation is less than two years).
H. Bottling: After maturing, the wine is ready to be bottled.
