temperatures for wine making
Ideal Wine Fermentation Temperature Ranges. According to yeast producer Wyeast red wines should be fermented between 70 and 85 degrees F (20-30 degrees C). Youâll get better color and tannin extraction at the higher end of this spectrum. In this temperature range fruity flavors and aromas donât get preserved which can be good for a red wine. When fermentation temperatures that approach 90 degrees F though you can run into cooked flavors. White wine fermentation temperatures should be between 45 and 60 degrees F (7-16 degrees C).
