chards’ cider press. Skins are
removed from the Iqiuid before
white wine fermentation begins,
but colored wines need the hue and
tannin that leaches from the
crushed skins.
Fermentation takes place in
stainless steel tanks, with the wine
then siphoned, or “racked off”, for
either bottling, or further aging.
White wines can be bottled as early
as two months of age, while reds
need additional time to mature.
The Naylor Wine Cellars, Inc., is
part of the Pennsylvania Wine
Association, and their estate
bottled vintage wines have already
won several medals in area wine
judging.
Visitors are welcomed to the
Stewartstown winery, and per
