For Rosé, red wine grapes are allowed some maceration between the skins and must, but not to the extent of red wine production. [1] While maceration is a technique usually associated with wine, it is used with other drinks, such as Lambic, pioĊunówka, Campari and crème de cassis, and also used to steep unflavored spirit with herbs for ...

Carbonic maceration is a winemaking technique, often associated with the French wine region of Beaujolais, in which whole grapes are fermented in a carbon dioxide rich environment before crushing. Conventional alcoholic fermentation involves crushing the grapes to free the juice and pulp from the skin with yeast serving to convert sugar into ...
The red wine remaining in the vats is intensified as a result of the bleeding, because the volume of juice in the must is reduced, and the must involved in the maceration becomes more concentrated. The pink juice that is removed can be fermented separately to produce rosé. [5]
Red wine is made from the must (pulp, including the juice) of red or black grapes and fermentation occurs together with the grape skins, which impart color, flavor and tannins to the wine through the process of maceration. White wine is made by fermenting juice which is made by pressing crushed grapes to extract a juice; the skins are removed ...
The International Organisation of Vine and Wine describes orange/amber wine as "White wine with maceration" and prescribes the minimum duration of the maceration phase to be 1 month. In the USA, Marlo Anderson, founder of the registered trademark “National Day Calendar”, has deemed the 6th of October to be National Orange Wine Day. [4]
In red wine production, the maceration process was traditionally done in large vats where the fermentation process would begin (in the picture this is noted by the presence of carbon dioxide bubbles). Secondary fermentation would take place when the wine is transferred to a second container such as a carboy or oak barrel.
In red wine, up to 90% of the wine's phenolic content falls under the classification of flavonoids. These phenols, mainly derived from the stems, seeds and skins are often leached out of the grape during the maceration period of winemaking. The amount of phenols leached is known as extraction.
