Racking is a way to clear your wine of unwanted solids like yeast and skin bits after it ferments. Some wines clear faster than others, especially in smaller wooden barrels. The wood helps the solids settle down.

About Make Wine With Us Wine Racking
Racking is the process by which the suspended material (yeast cells, particles of skins, etc.) is removed from your wine after fermentation.
This is particularly true when 50-gallon wooden barrels, which have greater surface-to-volume ratios than larger containers, are used. The rough wood interiors help the wine to shed any suspended materials.
This is an optional step, but we highly encourage our winemakers to be present during the racking of their own barrels.
