Must oxidation

A winemaking process in which large quantities of oxygen are deliberately added to or injected into unfermented must. Through the onset of oxidative processes, substances susceptible to oxidation are eliminated (precipitated) and the later wine becomes more durable and long-lasting. However, this process, which is used especially for white wines, is not without controversy. See also aerate and must treatment.
