Red wine is made predominantly from dark grapes and takes its
colour by leaching it from the skins during the wine making
process. The longer the skins are kept in contact with the
juice, the deeper the resulting colour. The contact with the
grape skins and sometimes the stalks and seeds are what gives
the wine tannin. During the fermentation process, the
temperature also has a large part to play. The higher the
temperature, the more colour and tannin is imparted into the
wine. We aim to offer you great examples of as many grape
varieties as possible.
