Определение

Skin contact during and after fermentation to extract color and tannin.

Подробнее

The duration and temperature of maceration determine a red wine's style. Short, cool maceration (5-7 days) produces light, fruity reds. Extended maceration (3-4 weeks) yields deeply colored, tannic wines for aging. White wines rarely undergo maceration, though skin-contact (orange) wines are an exception. Carbonic maceration uses whole berries in CO2 for a different extraction profile.
