Fermentation requires ten days to a month totally depends on the manufacturer and the variety of wine they are making. More fermented will be more good and valuable . Alcohol percentage is determined in this process.
Clarification
Once fermentation is completed clarification process begins. Wine maker shift their wine from one barrel to other in hope that pomace will be left behind. Filtration is also done in this process . Filtration is done so precisely so that the final product is up to the mark .
Aging and Botteling
After the clarification process wine makers have the option of aging their wines in the barrels for months or years . Some wine makers bottled their wine and rest of the aging is done in the bottles itself.
