    Domaine Luneau-Papin Muscadet from Domaine Luneau-Papin. Pierre-Marie Luneau and Marie Chartier. Photo by Christophe Bornet. Pierre and Monique Luneau. Photo by Christophe Bornet. Profile Pierre-Marie Luneau heads this 50-hectare estate in Le Landreau, a village in the heart of Muscadet country, where small hamlets dot a landscape of vineyards on low hills. Their estate, also known as Domaine Pierre de la Grange, has been in existence since the early 18th century when it was already planted with Melon de Bourgogne, the Muscadet appellation's single varietal. After taking over from his father Pierre in 2011, Pierre-Marie became the ninth generation to make wine in the area. Muscadet is an area where, unfortunately, a lot of undistinguished bulk wine is produced. Because of the size of their estate, and of the privileged terroir of the villages of Le Landreau, Vallet and La Chapelle Heulin, the Luneau family has opted for producing smaller cuvées from their several plots, which are always vinified separately so as to reflect their terroir's particular character. The soil is mainly micaschist and gneiss, but some plots are a mix of silica, volcanic rocks and schist. The estate has a high proportion of old vines, 40 years old on average, up to 65 years of age. The harvest is done by hand -also a rarity in the region- to avoid any oxidation before pressing. There is an immediate light débourbage (separation of juice from gross lees), then a 4-week fermentation at 68 degrees, followed by 6 months of aging in stainless-steel vats on fine lees.

  • The U.S. Wine Industry and Selected Trade Issues with the European Union
    The U.S. Wine Industry and Selected Trade Issues with the European Union Renée Johnson Specialist in Agricultural Policy July 25, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43658 The U.S. Wine Industry and Selected Trade Issues with the European Union Overview This report provides an overview of issues pertaining to the U.S. wine industry within ongoing U.S. trade negotiations in the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP). The report is organized in two parts. The first part provides an overview of global wine production and trade, focusing on the role of the United States within the industry. The second part provides an overview of reported barriers to trade for U.S. wine exporters, and describes some of the issues that are reportedly being discussed as part of the ongoing TPP and T-TIP negotiations that could influence market access, regulations, and rules related to wine trade. Given the magnitude of wine trade between the United States and the European Union (EU), much of the discussion in this report focuses on U.S. wine trade issues related to the EU. A few introductory comments are worth noting. There is some disagreement among countries over what constitutes “wine.” For example, the EU defines wine as only those beverages made by fermenting grapes. In the United States, wine is defined more broadly to include beverages produced by fermentation of any fruit (grapes, peaches, pears, etc.). European table wine generally contains between 9% and 15% alcohol. In contrast, U.S.

  • Ft Extrazyme Terroir (En)
    DATA SHEET EXTRAZYME TERROIR ENZYMATIC PREPARATIONS Enzymes for maceration and extraction highly concentrated. ŒNOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS EXTRAZYME TERROIRis a pectolytic enzyme preparation with highly concentrated additional capabilities that considerably accelerates the breakdown of the cell walls making up the grape's berry. Thanks to its wide and active spectrum, EXTRAZYME TERROIR is the enzyme formula best adapted to preparing red-grape wines of high potential. Indeed, with this type of grape harvest, it provides rapid colour stabilisation, concentrating the structure whilst also encapsulating it through the action of the polysaccharides arising from the hydrolysed pectins. With poorer grapes, EXTRAZYME TERROIR provides significant gains in colour and tannins whilst also reducing the mechanical pulverisation and other operations needed for their extraction. The ratio of free-run juice to pressing wine is improved, which contributes to the overall quality of the resulting wine, giving more volume in the mouth and more structure but less astringency. PROPERTIES - Origin: Concentrated and purified extracts from various strains of Aspergillus niger. - Main enzymatic reactions: polygalacturonase, pectin esterase, pectin lyase. Suppresses secondary pectolytic enzymes for the hydrolysis of the pectic hairy regions, as well as hemi-cellulase and cellulase enzymes that help to weaken the grape berry. Suppresses secondary glycosidase enzymes. - Cinnamyl esterase reaction: average. - Format: Perfectly soluble micro-granules. DOSE RATE • 3 to 6

  • 2014 Müller Thurgau - Estate
    2014 MÜLLER THURGAU - ESTATE Tasting Notes: This crisp and fruity Riesling cross is a show stopper anytime and anyplace. A variety of citrus abounds with notes of pear and apple adding interest. A year round favorite, we recommend it lightly chilled, serving it with cheese and fresh fruit and enjoying it with friends. Pure refreshment! Winemaking: The fruit was gently de-stemmed directly into the press to minimize skin contact. Pressing decisions are done by taste and the press was stopped at just over one bar of pressure. After four days of settling the juice was racked off its lees and inoculated. Fermentation temperatures were kept at 55° to 58°F and lasted about two and a half weeks until the wine came into balance and we made the decision to stop the fermentations. After racking the wine again it was cold stabilized and filtered. The wine was bottled in May 2015. Harvest Notes: The 2014 growing season is the warmest on record for the Willamette Valley. Our cooler estate vineyard on the edge of the Oregon Coast Range welcomed the few extra degrees of heat like a light summer blanket rather than a blistering heat wave at the end of the season. The extra warmth led to early sugar accumulation and then, fortunately, we received a small amount of rain prior to harvest that slowed ripening just enough to allow full flavor development producing a well-balanced grape, perfect for making wine. Our winery and vineyards are certified sustainable by Salmon Safe and LIVE. The vineyards are hand cultivated allowing us to respond to individual vine needs.

  • Oxidation in Must with Specific Inactivated Yeast, Such As Glutastar™
    WINEMAKING UPDATE Number 1B | 2021 Managing oxidative risk with biological tools Part II – Post-fermentation We have seen in Part I of Managing oxidative risk how to fight oxidation in must with specific inactivated yeast, such as Glutastar™. Even though the impact of Glutastar™ is evident all the way to the bottle, there are sensitive stages post fermentation, where oxygen contamina- tion needs to be controlled via O2 scavenging in order to avoid wine oxidations. In the post-fermentation stages, the oxygen ingress can vary depending on the type of operation done with the wine. There are numerous time points when wine is potentially exposed to oxygen along the way to the bottling step, and beyond. 1 2 3 4 5 6 ➍ Storage | ➎ Cold Stabilisation | ➏ Transport & bottling Preventing oxidation in wine/post-fermentation Pure-Lees™ Longevity, winery scale trials were conducted during storage, ➍ Cold stabilisation | ➎ Transport cold stabilisation and transport of white wines.

  • Pressing and Racking Red Wine
    Pressing and Racking Red Wine Home Winemaking for KPCC The Freeway The fruits of our labors after pressing What began as 6 buckets of grapes [150 lbs] have been reduced to one bucket of pomace, about 2 gallons of rosé and about 7 gallons of red wine. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves…. Cap of red wine must before pressing After 10 days of daily punching down the grapes , stirring the yeast and keeping the must cool as possible with ice, we are ready to press off the wine . Racking the rosé Our rosé is being racked off the solids visible as light deposits at the bottom of the carboy. We use gravity to transfer the wine into clean one gallon jugs for finishing. Most wine tasks are best done under shade but the sunshine makes for a better picture. Racking into first gallon carboy Some sediment may find its way into the transfer. That’s okay because we have more racking and fining in our wine’s future. Racking into a second carboy Having carboys of various sizes makes it easier to transfer wine and keeping it safe from excessive exposure to air once it settles down. An airlock This is an airlock. They were used with our white wine as it fermented. Airlocks allow gas to escape out of the carboy but doesn’t allow air to enter the carboy. All wines will use airlocks until they are bottled. “Free Run” wine Let skins sit and drain before pressing? Here’s where you’ve seen it. Seen it before? Draining off some juice for making rosé Preventing malolactic fermentation in the rosé Why? Malolactic fermentation converts malic [think green apple] acid to lactic acid [think milk].
