Skin contact: After crushing and de-stemming, white grapes may be left for a period with the juice, remaining in contact with skins (before being moved into the press, from wich the grape juice is squeezed). Some winemakers believe the colours and flavours in and under the skin should be maximised in this way; others believe extended (or any) contact can lead to coarseness,even bitternis.
