Default Extended Maceration

If you only want to change one variable and you are trying to achieve
more body then you should go with the extended maceration rather than
cold soaking since, as pp points out, cold soaking is for increased
color extraction.

Also as pp also points out, poor quality grapes will not improve with
extended maceration, you will only end up with a poor, highly tannic
wine.
