A winery is basically just a big kitchen, right? 🥂

So this is not usually how it works. I wish we had gorgeous wine waterfalls all the time.

But for an experimental semi-carbonic wine (post fermentation), it was the best method we had available to get into our press.

While oxidation is definitely a risk, in the end it turned out lovely.

To destem or not to destem? 🍇

Grape stems, also called the rachis, can have a significant influence on the final wine, particularly when it comes to tannins, aromas, and overall structure.

Stems contain their own phenolic compounds, including tannins, which differ in composition from those found in grape skins and seeds. Skin tannins tend to contribute to the wine’s body and texture, while seed tannins are often associated with bitterness and astringency. Stem tannins can also contribute astringency and structure, but their impact depends on their chemical composition, maturity, and how they’re extracted during winemaking.

One important factor is lignification! As grape stems mature, they can transition from green, flexible tissue to a more brown, woody structure as lignin accumulates in their cell walls.

Greener, less lignified stems are often associated with more herbaceous or vegetal characteristics, which can translate into green, grassy, or stemmy aromas in the finished wine. More lignified stems may contribute different aromatic and structural characteristics, although brown stems aren’t necessarily free of green flavors or harsh tannins.

So why would a winemaker intentionally keep the stems?

Whole-cluster pressing and fermentation can offer several benefits, including improved drainage during pressing, changes to tannin extraction, and additional aromatic complexity. In red winemaking, whole clusters can also influence fermentation dynamics and the wine’s overall structure.

Ultimately, destemming is a stylistic decision, and the choice depends on grape variety, stem maturity, processing method, and the characteristics the winemaker wants to achieve in the finished wine!
