  • Press-Cake-turned-into-Birthday-Cake-for-Wine-Decoded-by-Paul-Kaan-Feature

    Q&A with Paul:”What are Pressings in Red Wine?”

    A complete answer needs a book. We’ll cut that back to 5 minutes! In this case we’re talking about red wines. White wines are another beast altogether!
    The question arose after AP Birks Wendouree released a Pressings Wine for the 2017 vintage. They only release it about once a decade.

  • Bathtub Winemaking Project Day 20 Racking Bathtub Shiraz V17

    Alcoholic fermentation has finished and the Bathtub Winemaking Project Shiraz has been pressed and is now resting in either tank or barrel.

    Malolactic fermentation has started converting malic acid to the softer lactic acid. We need to start raising the wine, the process of élévage begins.
