What constitutes a grape?
A grape is made from the pulp/or flesh, the skin and the seeds. The pulp constitutes the juice and is the most important for wine production. The juice is always pale grey irrelevant of the colour of the grape’s skin. The skin is important as it reduces water diffusion and loss from the berry. Seeds are the least important but they must not be crushed as they will release bitter tannins. Hence it is important to have a gentle pressing.
