WHITE GRAPE [8 records]

Record 1 2025-04-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Winemaking
CONT

Starting with the basics, red wine is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting the juice of dark-skinned grapes. Red wine differs from white wine in its base material and production process.... During red wine production, the winemaker allows pressed grape juice, called must, to macerate and ferment with the dark grape skins, which adds color, flavor and tannin to the wine.

Le vin rouge est une boisson alcoolisée obtenue par la fermentation du jus des raisins à la peau foncée. Il se distingue du vin blanc et rosé par les types de cépages utilisés et sa méthode de production. En effet, durant la vinification du vin rouge, le moût (= le jus de raisin pressé), macère et fermente avec la peau, c'est ce qui lui donne cette belle couleur rouge, son goût et son tanin. L'alcool n'apparaît qu'ensuite, lorsque la levure transforme le sucre du raisin en éthanol et en dioxyde de carbone.

Record 2 2025-04-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Winemaking
CONT

Skin-fermented or skin-contact white wines are white wines that have had extended contact with grape skins. This is unique, because typically, white wines do not spend time on their skins during fermentation. When white wine grapes are pressed, only the juice is fermented. Whereas, when red wines and rosés are fermented and pressed, they spend time on the skins(much less time for rosés than for reds). This extended skin contact is what gives wines their color and tannin. [They are] often known as "orange wines" due to their color...

OBS

Some orange wines are indeed orange, but some can be pale pink or deep amber. This comes down to the grape variety and the amount of time the juice spent with the skins.

Key term(s)
  • skin fermented white wine
  • skin contact white wine
  • skin contact wine
  • skin macerated white wine
