Over extraction

By

Over-extraction refers to the extraction of too many phenolics (colour, tannin and flavour compounds) during or post-fermentation. It is undesirable because although the wine gains colour and concentration, it is at the expense of balance, losing delicate fruit while adding (dry) tannins.
