This is Pinot Noir being processed. The first video shows the punching down of Pinot Noir ferments. The grapes are crushed into one-ton plastic bins. These are a nice scale to work at.<\/p>\n<p>In the short clip, Norm is taking us through the bins one by one. The skins float to the top and form a cap. The job here is to understand where they are in their fermentation. Initially these caps need to be punched down to submerge them and keep them wet: this also helps with extraction. Later on they just need submerging by hand, much more gently.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fPH8LYCY4x8?rel=0\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, as fermentation slows and stops, it&#8217;s time to press. Initially, the juice is taken off and placed into a fresh bin. Then the remaining skins are dumped (carefully) into a basket press. This is an old technology, but it&#8217;s really well suited to making red wines, because of the quality of the pressings you get off. Once the pressing is finished, you end up with a cake of skins and seeds. The press juice is combined with the juice that&#8217;s been taken off, and the combination is allowed to settle before going to barrel.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zMoS96GbuO4?rel=0\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two short videos illustrating the red winemaking process here at Norm Hardie&#8217;s in Prince Edward County, Canada.
