Question 2

Describe Direct Pressing method for rosé wine production.

Answer 2

Black grapes will be crushed and pressed to extract some colour from the skins. Care must be taken not to press too hard and extract too much tannin. Fermentation takes place off the skins in typically cool fermentation conditions.

This method aims to achieve a delicate colour without excessive tannin extraction.
