Dark Whites & Pale Reds Natural wines - it's all about maceration and skin contact
There is a big topic in the world of natural wines that everyone comes across after a while: Skin contact or mash fermented. The term refers to the time the grape juice spends with the skins during fermentation, which is responsible for both the colour and the grippier texture due to the tannins found in the skins. Many winegrowers use many different methods and even experiment to find unique flavour combinations.
