The winemaking The pressing of the grapes is done immediately after harvest. Nowadays, wine producers use horizontal flat presses or pneumatic presses. The juice is left to ferment straight away.

These two steps (pressing and fermentation) are closely monitored for they will have an important influence on the final quality of the spirit.
