Just had a Morton for the first time yesterday...studying WSET level 3 and wanted to taste carbonic maceration. My first impression was a burst of kirsch aroma. I love the low tannins, lighter body and fruitiness. I am excited to try this type of wine with different food including fish. I’m not crazy about whites with fish all the time.
I'm from Oregon in the US and we have several producers that do CM style, here it is referred to as Whole Cluster fermentation . . .especially good with Pinot Noir. We also have some Gamay Noir producers here, but those tend to have herbal notes to them (like tomato vine) that are off-putting to me. I prefer Beaujolais in this case. Thanks for all your content . .is helping me get ready for WSET 2 and 3.
Spanish Mencia made with carbonic maceration is fantastic!! Super soft yet deep flavors.
Thanks for the recommendation

I find these types of wines can be really versatile. Definitely worth pairing with different styles of food to find your perfect match. Cheers

Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the studies
Love this method. Our wine maker uses it alot and loves it. Cranberry and super soft in syrah here in nz
Sounds delicious. I'm a big fan of this process.
Great explanation!
What about show the process of carbonic maceration !
I had a nice George Deboef Beaujolais-villages 2017 not long ago
Yes. Lovely stuff and a regular in my wine rack.
I find them simple, not complex, bourgeois. But I'm a Phillistine who likes petite syrahs and nebbiolo wines.
And that's what is so great about wine, developing our own ideas and opinions.
Oops typo ... I guess you know I meant Morgon!
The biological offspring of cherry juice and red wine
Haha love that
I get Cranberry
