Cold maceration question for Pinot Noir grapes
Dear All
Just about to get some Pinot Noir grapes and I was wondering what's the longest time you can do a cold maceration before starting the alcoholic fermentation. What temperature is also classed as cold? I have heard of people doing it one week but not much more. Any info is greatly appreciated. Marc

Marc,
Typical cold maceration temperatures would range about 4-10 C (39-50 F) and last 4-7 days. Some winemakers extend this period to the more unusual length of 10 days and even up to 14 days in some cases. Ben http://members.tripod.com/~BRotter/Pinot.htm
