Red Wine

Red Wine

Red wine is made from dark-colored grapes, where the juice ferments with the grape skins to extract colour, tannins, and flavour.
Origin: Red wine production dates back to ancient Mesopotamia and the Caucasus region, with significant contributions from Greece and Rome in the ancient world.
Production: Red wines are made by fermenting whole grapes (including skins) in either open vats or fermentation tanks. The skins provide colour and tannins, contributing to the wine’s body and structure. Aging can be done in stainless steel, concrete, or oak barrels.
Flavor Profile: Red wines can be fruity, earthy, spicy, or floral, with flavours ranging from red berries to dark fruits like plums, cherries, and blackberries. Aged reds may have earthy, woody, or smoky notes, depending on the aging process.
