THE STALK

• 3 to 5 percent of total weight.

• Each bunch has a stalk that is discarded at the beginning of the wine making process.

THE SKIN6 to 10 percent

The skins or peels of grapes contain coloring substances, as well as tannins and yeasts, which enable the juice to ferment

Red wines are made from dark-skinned grapes

White wines usually derive from light-skinned grapes, but they can also be made from dark varieties if the skins are separated immediately from the pulp after pressing

THE PULP
