Wine Making at Crushpad: Process of Pressing Wine This video takes you through the wine pressing process at Crushpad from start to finish. Starting with draining the free run wine into the barrel, the pumice then is dumped into the press to extract the rest of the wine. Once the press has finished, the wine is pumped into the barrel to join the free run wine. The wine will age in barrel until it is ready to be bottled.

Wine Making at Crushpad: Pressing Wine Once the wine has finished fermenting, it is sent to press. The free run wine has been drained from the bin before the pumice (leftover grapes skin) is dumped into the bladder press. The pumice is then pressed at increasing levels of pressure to extract the remaining wine from the grape, without breaking any of the seeds.

Wine Making at Crushpad: Fining Wine During the wine making process, fining wine can be used to clarify and soften wines. Fining is the process of clarifying and stabilizing a wine. A fining agent is mixed in to bind with particles suspended in wine that would make it appear cloudy when poured into a glass. Since fining agents are slightly heavier than wine, the bound particles precipitate out and settle to the bottom of the tank. Sometimes you might fine wine to clean it up if it is cloudy, other times you might wish to soften the wine by precipitating out compounds that are astringent. Most red wines won't need fining but whites benefit from the process so they remain crystal clear as they age in the bottle.

Wine Making at Crushpad: Including Stems in a Fermentation Kian Tavakoli, winemaker for Crushpad, explains when you do, and when you don't want to think about including whole clusters in your fermentation. For some varietals, in some years, it can enhance aromas, and other desirable characteristics in a wine. In other years the stems are simply too green to include any whole clusters... Doing so would give your wine green tannins that can make a wine harsh. Tags: crushpad crushnet winemaking wine_making how_to_make_you_own _wine winemaker winery |

Wine Making at Crushpad:Where does a Wine's Color Come From? During the wine making process, red wine grapes often go through what is called a cold soak period prior to fermentation. This allows the skins to release the color and flavor compounds that add so much to our enjoyment of red wine. Not all grape varieties need, nor benefit from, long soak periods. Crushpad winemaker, Kian Tavakoli explains which varietals you might think about putting through a cold soak, and which varietals you needn't bother.

Wine Making at Crushpad: Fermentation Vessels Depending on the style of wine you want to make, and the varietal of grape you are working with, you have a few choices when it comes to fermenation vessels. And when you're working with small batch winemaking, it is critical to make the right choice. For white wines it's important that you ferment in the type of vessel that will help you achieve the style you want. For reds, it's a little more straight forward. Crushpad winemaker Chris Nelson explains it all. Tags: crushpad crushnet winemaking wine_making how_to_make_wine making_wine make_your_own_wine winemaker wine winery |

Wine Making at Crushpad: Maceration Extended maceration is the wine making process where red wine is left in contact with the grape skins after fermentation is complete. This technique is employed when a winemaker wishes to modify the amount, and types, of tannin present when pressing the wine to barrel. It may seem counterintuitive but this extended amount of time in contact with the skins, seeds, and stems can actually soften the tannin structure of a wine that finishes fermentation with an elevated sharp tannin structure.

Wine Making at Crushpad: Malolactic Fermentation During the wine making process, malolactic conversion transforms sharp malic acids into softer lactic acids. What wines, and wine styles employ this "secondary fermentation"? Malolactic conversion, also referred to as secondary fermentation, uses bacteria to transform muscular malic acids (think green apple) into smoother tasting lactic acids (think milk). Many white wines undergo a partial malolactic conversion, and pretty much every red wine goes through this process. What does it mean to the style of the finished wines, and how do you manipulate the level of malolactic conversion? Crushpad Chief Winemaker, Michael Zitzlaff fills us in.
