Contact between juice and skins allows the wine to enhance it's tannin complexity and helps it develop a rich color. To maximize this extraction in red wines, Crushpad punches down the grape skin cap often during fermentation. www.crushpadwine.com

  • @EvilGio Oxidation is much more dangerous on post fermentation stages. During fermentation, especially at starting stage aeration is desirable to boost yeast expansion. CO2 forms a buffer between fermenting surface and deny oxygen access.  But since fermentation is finished access to oxygen (aeration) must be strictly denied, unless there is special need for wine aeration (Hydrogen sulphide smell = smell of rotten eggs).

  • Don't you have oxidations problems with this "manual" punch down?

  • ive done this method at my home for 3 years now and i love it !!! i do the punch down 2 to 3 times a day for 2 months and my shiraz came amazing last year and this year i did the same with sangiovese grapes and i cant wait to taste in 2 years from now :)
