Red Wine Fermenting

    Newer Older

    The traditional method of red wine fermentation, in open vats, with the "cap" of skins floating on top, which is punched down every few hours to promote extraction of colour, tannins and anthocyanins and other beneficial components.

      "Hi Robert,

      This is a bit of a long shot, but I work at a digital publisher called Open Air Publishing (openairpub.com), and I'm editing a book about wine. There is one quick section about how wine is made, and I've been searching far and wide for a photo of the red wine floating cap. Yours (www.flickr.com/photos/robwallace/2847334531/) is the best I've found, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to let us use your photo in our book.

      Let me know if this is something that would interest you. "
