Wine fermentation—the process that turns grape juice into the beautiful symphony of flavors and aromas we savor in a glass of wine—is both a science and an art.Â
When managed skillfully, wine fermentation has a profound impact on the final quality of the wine.Â
At Own A Napa Vineyard, we consider it a cornerstone of our winemaking process, integral to our central philosophy: Quality Without Compromise.
Wine Fermentation: The Heart of Winemaking
Wine fermentation is a natural process where yeast transforms the sugars in grapes into alcohol and carbon dioxide.Â
However, beyond this basic definition, wine fermentation is where the unique character and flavor of the wine begin to take shape.Â
This process allows for the expression of terroir—the unique combination of geography, geology, and climate where the grapes are grown—and gives each wine its distinctive taste and aroma.
Quality Winemaking—Embracing Natural Processes
At Own A Napa Vineyard, we believe in the importance of working with nature, not against it. Our commitment to quality starts with how we manage our vineyards. We avoid the use of chemicals and exclusively hand-harvest our grapes at night when the juice chemistry is more stable, setting the stage for successful wine fermentation.
Fermentation and Flavor Development
The way we manage wine fermentation has a significant impact on the wine’s taste, aroma, and texture. Temperature, yeast strains, fermentation time—all these variables can be manipulated to shape the wine’s character. Our winemakers carefully monitor these factors, always keeping in mind our commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality.
Quality Without Compromise: Our Promise to You
Our guiding philosophy, Quality Without Compromise, is more than just a slogan—it’s our promise to you. We are committed to producing excellent quality wines, and we understand that achieving this goal starts with the quality of our grapes and extends to every step of the winemaking process, including wine fermentation.
