The Process of Wine Making
It’s a five stage natural process that requires little human intervention.
Harvesting
This first process ensures the deliciousness of wine as refractometer is used to determine if the grapes are ready to be picked
Crushing & Pressing
After the grapes are been sorted they are all set to use a bit of mechanical process by de-stemming and crushing them , it also increases the longevity and quality of wine.
Fermentation
After winding up with the above twin process, aided with wild yeasts fermentation begins and continues until all the sugar is converted into alcohol and dry wine is produced.
Ageing & Bottling
In the fullness of time the wine maker has to make a decision whether wants to bottle the wine right away or give it an additional aging. Aging is being done in stainless steel tanks, bottles, oak or barrels.
We at Menon’s Classic Wines transform the ripe grapes into beautiful wines without compromising its quality and elegance which is a must for all occasions.
