Об этом методе
Crushed grapes are held at low temperature (5-10°C) for 2-5 days before fermentation begins. This extracts color, fruit flavors, and some tannins without the harsher extraction that occurs during fermentation. Common in premium Pinot Noir production for deeper color and softer tannins.
