What is Carbonic Maceration and what region Is It typically used? |
Carbonic Maceration is a wine making progress where whole bunches of grapes are placed in a vat and carbon dioxide is added .Fermentation happens when the grapes at the bottom of the vat are crushed by the grapes at the top of the vat.As more carbon dioxide is released by the fermentation, It envelops the whole grapes at the top of the vat .Eventually the grapes burst releasing more juice until the fermentation of all grape sugars is complete and the wine is pressed. AOC Beaujolais Nouveau is made with this method and is quickly produced over 7-9 weeks , and is used to celebrate the French harvest each year. |
