I think the problem is in your understanding of what extended
maceration (EM) means. EM is conducted *after* alcoholic fermentation is *complete*. Thus, there can be no "secondary (alcoholic) fermentation" after EM. You can (and usually would) certainly conduct a MLF after EM. Ben > I have a question about extended maceration. Let's say that you are > making a red wine and you are not doing extended maceration.
