Cap Management

Intermediate Winemaking & Viticulture

정의

Techniques for mixing floating grape skins with fermenting juice.

심층 분석

During red wine fermentation, CO2 pushes skins to the surface forming a 'cap.' If left alone, extraction stops and bacteria can grow. Cap management techniques include punchdown (pigeage), pumpover (remontage), rack-and-return (délestage), and rotary fermenters. Each method extracts color, tannin, and flavor differently.
