Carbonic Maceration
Thought I'd start a new thread to get non Stanely Cup fans into the fray.
In breif, Mark L. stated that he was'nt aware of Auzzie shiraz or blended wines using CM. In return I stated that I thought Rosemount was doing it with some of their products & Yellow Tail was deeply into it. Can anyone confirm or deny these speculations? Also, I noticed a (in my opinion, deeply disturbing) trend in the California producers to use partial CM in many of their products. This came to light @ this year's Vancouver Playhouse Wine Festival. Several Nappa & Sonoma producers were showing Cabs & Merlots with what they called 'partial whole berry fermentation' ... are they afraid of the CM lable? I understand that this makes their wines softer, more aproachable young, consumer freindly etc... But, when I spend reasonable to large money on a California Cab ... I want TANNIN baby!!! Rip my face off & make me cellar you for years, pucker power Tannins!!! Any opinions? En Vino Veritas Mathew |
