Maceration

Maceration is a key step in winemaking where color, aroma, and tannins are extracted from the grape skins, seeds, and sometimes stems into the must. It is particularly crucial for red wine production, as the pigments are found mainly in the skins. The duration and temperature of maceration significantly influence the wine’s style, structure, and aging potential. In South Africa, winemakers carefully control maceration techniques to craft expressive, complex wines with depth and richness.
