Winepress.US Recipe Book Preface Here is a list of past recipes (from Anise to Zucchini) that have been posted on WinePress.US, as they have been posted on the forum. Also, we have included recipes that have been Personal Messenged (PMed) to us. If there are questions to the recipes, the person who posted/sent us the recipe is listed below the title. Many references have been made to Jack Keller’s website in the forum, which can be found at: http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/index.asp. It is a great place to go to if you are looking for a recipe that is not listed in this book. If a change to one of his recipes was made, it was added to the WinePress recipe file and noted (usually by the author of the recipe). The yield of each recipe is shown, if the posted recipe mentioned it. In addition, if methods were posted, they have been included. If no methods were posted, none were added to the database of recipes. Most recipes are in US measurements. However, if a metric recipe has been added, there is a small “m” behind the title. The recipes are in alphabetical order, as the person who made it named them. For example, El Pilon’s wine, “El Pilon’s Blueberry” is under “E”. If a person titled his/her wine as “My XYZ Wine” it turned into “Their Name’s XYZ Wine.” Furthermore, there is a table of contents for everyone to easily navigate through the recipe book. In the Word format, you can press “Ctrl” and Click on the title: It will bring you down to the specific recipe. After every recipe, we have included room for your own personal notes. This way, if you wish to print the entire book, it can double as a log-book of your winemaking. At the end, there is also a table of substitutions for converting common winemaking ingredients into your system of measurement. Metric conversions are also found there. Jack Keller also graciously allowed us to use his Additives and Measures from his website. I hope to be able to update this recipe book periodically. If you have any constructive criticism, comments or suggestions, please let me know. This is your book, with your recipes, and your fruits of labor. Thanks for contributing to this book and to the forum! Good luck and cheers to you all!

Inspired by some of Australia's most famous blends, we combined soft, lush Syrah with firmly structured Cabernet Sauvignon and aromatic Cabernet Franc. This dark, deep wine was aged in American oak barrels for rich tannins and structure, French barrels for enticing vanilla, and special hybrid barrels with alternating French and American oak staves for hints of clove and spice.

  • 2020 Domaine Descroix Beaujolais Nouveau France – Burgundy – Beaujolais AOC
    KYSELA PERE et FILS, LTD. www.kysela.com 2020 Domaine Descroix Beaujolais Nouveau France – Burgundy – Beaujolais AOC ABOUT DOMAINE DESCROIX Domaine Descroix is a fourth-generation family winery, founded in 1905 & currently owned by Xavier Descroix. The winery is located in the village of Lantignié, north of Beaujolais, right next to Beaujeu (the historic capital for which the Beaujolais region is named). The vineyards measures 11.27 hectares total (27.84 acres), with 9.75 hectares in Beaujolais and Beaujolais Villages AOC, and small parcels of Brouilly, Morgon, Beaujolais Villages Blanc & Bourgogne Blanc. The Beaujolais vineyards are in Beaujeu and Lantignié, where the soils are made of granite and sand, resulting in fruity wines with character. ABOUT THE WINE Nouveau originated about a century ago as a 'vin de l'année' - a cheap and cheerful drink produced by locals to celebrate the end of the harvest season. The Beaujolais AOC was established in 1937, and after WWII, the wine was sold outside of the area. By the 1970's, Beaujolais Nouveau day was a national event. We celebrate the wine’s release on the 3rd Thursday in November, just weeks after the grapes have been harvested. Today Beaujolais Nouveau accounts for 30% of Beaujolais’ production. Beaujolais exports to the US started to increase in 2015 & have continued steadily over the past few years. Beaujolais has experienced a renewal of sorts, with an increase in quality and diversity, as well as organic farming & interest from younger generations. The United States is the second largest importer of Beaujolais Nouveau at nearly 150,000 cases, which accounts for more than 15% of the region’s total exports and almost 8% of the 20 million cases produced.

  • Pre-Fermentation Maceration of Pinot Noir Wine
    PRE-FERMENTATION MACERATION OF PINOT NOIR WINE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree , I of Master of Applied Science at Lincoln University by S. A. Goldsworthy Lincoln University 1993 i Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of M.Appl.Sc. PRE-FERMENTATION MACERATION OF PINOT NOIR WINE by S. A. Goldsworthy Two pre-fermentation treatments were investigated in Pinot noir (Vitis vinifera L.) wines. The effects of cold maceration and carbonic maceration on the wines' composition, colour parameters and sensory properties were examined. Cold maceration is a winemaking technique used to increase non-alcoholic extraction in Pinot noir winemaking prior to fermentation. It involves holding crushed grapes with approximately 100-150 mg r 1 S02 at low temperatures and is thought to increase the colour, aroma and flavour of the resulting wines. Carbonic maceration uses whole bunches that have undergone anaerobic metabolism to produce characteristically fruity and spicy wines. Pre-fermentation cold maceration produces wines that are higher in titratable acidity and monomeric anthocyanin content, but lower in colour density, hue and polymeric pigments. Reducing the maceration temperature below 10°C has little effect. Carbonic maceration produces wines that are lower in titratable acidity, monomeric anthocyanin content, and colour density but are higher in colour hue and amount of polymeric pigments. ii Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to define the effects of these pre-fermentation maceration treatments on the sensory characteristics of the resulting wine. Trained panel members found that there were no discernable sensory differences in the compositional parameters despite measurable chemical differences.

It's a dense wine, the tannins still developing and filling out to balance the fruits. $14.79 2014 Dominique Piron, Fleurie Cru Du Beaujolais Fleurie, France As a Cru in general, Fleurie is known for producing aromatic wines & this bottle is no exception. Think pretty and complex flavors: concentrated cherry, raspberry, and blackberry, plus savory notes of cooked meat & tarragon.

  • Wine Press (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Wine Press (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A wine press is a device used to extract juice from crushed grapes during wine making. There are a number of different styles of presses that are used by wine makers but their overall functionality is the same. Each style of press exerts controlled pressure in order to free the juice from the fruit (most often grapes). The pressure must be controlled, especially with grapes, in order to avoid crushing the seeds and releasing a great deal of undesirable tannins into the wine. A basket press consists of a large basket filled with the crushed grapes. Pressure is applied through a plate that is forced down onto the fruit. The mechanism to lower the plate is often either a screw or a hydraulic device. The juice flows through openings in the basket. The basket style press was the first type of mechanized press to be developed, and its basic design has not changed in nearly 1000 years. HISTORY The history of the wine press and of pressing is nearly as old as the history of wine itself with the remains of wine presses providing some of the longest-serving evidence of organized viticulture and winemaking in the ancient world. The earliest wine press was probably the human foot or hand, crushing and squeezing grapes into a bag or container where the contents would ferment. The pressure applied by these manual means was limited and these early wines were probably pale in color and body, and eventually ancient winemakers sought out alternative means of pressing their wine.
