General Info:
• To Stomp or Not to Stomp… While there are winemakers who still tread their grapes by foot, nowadays, modern viticulture methods employ the use of presses to do much of the work to extract the juice from the fruit. However, the die-hard traditionalists claim the foot stomping method is the best way to gain vital information about the density and temperature of the cap, in order to gauge the precise stage of the fermentation
• Fruit by the Foot
• Grape-stomped wine is making a comeback
• The art of grape stomping
