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.

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.

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.
