The wines are fermented in three styles: dry (sec), off-dry (demi-sec) and sweet (moelleux). Made exclusively with the Chenin Blanc grape, they share a limestone soil that’s the key to their finesse and complexity. Both are noted for the beauty of their perfume: peach, white flowers, green apple. Then there is the exquisite balance: an often honeyed fruit set off against the bright, citrus-like acidity. It’s perhaps the fact that Chenin planted nowhere else in the world reaches this level of quality that has kept these wines relatively obscure In Vouvray, the limestone is mixed with clay and chalk; the wines are forward and lush. In Savenni ères, the soil is limestone and slate, producing a more refined, tightly-wound wine with mineral flavors and great ageability. 30 Bordeaux Blanc, Chateau Ducasse, 2012 | 36 39 Cadaretta, Sauvignon Blanc, Columbia Valley, Washington, 2012 | 39 66 Château D’Epiré, Savennières ‘Cuvée Spéciale’, Loire, France, 2012 | 45 29 Sancerre, Domaine Lauverjat, Loire, France, 2013 | 51 41 Savennières-Roche Aux Moines, Domaine Roche Aux Moines, 1999 | 55 27 Vouvray, Huet ‘Haut-Lieu’ Sec, Loire, France, 2013 | 59 71 Cloudy Bay, Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand, 2014 | 73 32 Grgich Hills, Fumé Blanc, Napa, California, 2011 | 75 33 Vouvray Sec, Foreau ‘Domaine du Clos Naudin’, France, 2010 | 69 28 Illumination Sauvignon Blanc, Huneeus Vintners, Rutherford, Ca. 2013 | 84 RRR IIII EEE SSS LLL IIII NNN GGG 52 Trimbach Reserve, Alsace, France, 2009 | 45 69 Zilliken Kabinett Saarburger, Mosel, Germany, 2011 | 45 77 Schloss Reinhartshausen, Erbach Schlossberg, Rheingau, Germany, 2011 | 58 51 Schloss Schönborn Spätlese, Erbach Marcobrunn, Rheingau, 2002 | 70 81 Trimbach, Cuvée Frédéric Émile, Alsace,

  • Basic Definitions and Tips for Winemaking
    Presque Isle Wine Cellars “Serving the Winemaker Since 1964” (814) 725-1314 www.piwine.com Basic Winemaking Terms & Tips Definitions & Tips: Not all-inclusive but hopefully helpful. Email us your favorites; maybe we’ll include them in the next edition. Acid Reduction - Reducing the acid in juice or wine to an acceptable level. It is usually measured as tartaric acid and requires a testing apparatus and reagents. Good levels are typically in a range of 0.6 to 0.8 percent acid, depending on the wine. More technically the reading is read as grams per liter. Therefore 0.6 percent would be 6.0 g/l. Acidulation or Acidification - Raising the acid level of juice, wine or sometimes water by adding some type of acid increasing additive or blending with a higher acid juice or wine. Acidified or Acidulated Water - Water to which acid (most commonly citric acid) has been added. It is a way to reduce sugar in a juice that is too high in sugar without diluting (thus reducing) the acid level of that juice. Additives - Things added to wine to enhance quality or possibly fix some type of flaw. There are many additives for many situations and it is wise to gain at least some basic knowledge in this area. Alcohol - Obviously one of the significant components of wine. Yeast turns sugar to alcohol. Rule of thumb says for each percentage of sugar in a non-fermented juice, the alcohol will be half. For example 21% sugar should ferment out to an alcohol level of about 11.5 to 12%.

  • Vermouth Winemaking by Werner Roesener
    Vermouth Winemaking by Werner Roesener The Vermouth wines described here are classified as sweet aperitif wines and are similar to the commercial products of sweet Cinzano or Martini. They are served chilled at 7 to 10 degrees Celsius as appetite stimulant before meals. They contain 17 to 19 percent alcohol and 7 to 9 percent sugar. Their particular flavour is derived from herbs. As an overview, the production involves making a suitable fortified base wine and then infusing herbs into it. To make a fortified base wine, the amateur winemaker has several options: 1. Adding alcohol to an existing table wine of typically 12 percent alcohol content This requires mixing 16.8 L of wine with 3.2 L of 40% alcohol or Vodka and 1.6 kg sugar to make a 20L batch. White table wine worksbest. Red wine can also be used, but very tannic wine should be avoided, becauseit may take several years of ageing to become drinkable. 2. Making a wine from start specifically for this purpose from grape juice or concentrate: The starting gravity should be adjusted with sugar or concentrate to 1100. A yeast with high alcohol tolerance must be used, i.e. Lalvin EC-1118 or sherry yeast. When fermentation is nearly complete as evident by reduced activity, adding small amounts of sugar (one cup per 20L batch) every few days will keep the fermentation going until activity stops, the wine will then contain about 16 to 18 percent alcohol. 3. Freeze concentrating table wine: A table wine containing about 12% alcohol is placed in a semi- soft container into a freezer and left to freeze solid for 48 hours.

Munsie Harvard Law School Class of 2002 March 2002 Submitted in satisfaction of Food and Drug Law required course paper and third-year written work require- ment. 1 A Brief History of the International Regulation of Wine Production Abstract: Regulations regarding wine production have a profound effect on the character of the wine produced. Such regulations can be found on the local, national, and international levels, but each level must be considered with the others in mind. This Paper documents the growth of wine regulation throughout the world, focusing primarily on the national and international levels. The regulations of France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand are examined in the context of the European Community and United Nations. Particular attention is given to the diverse ways in which each country has developed its laws and compromised between tradition and internationalism. I. Introduction No two vineyards, regions, or countries produce wine that is indistinguishable from one another.

  • Vya Whisper Dry Vermouth Refreshing, Elegant & Smooth… Ask for It
    Vya Whisper Dry Vermouth Refreshing, Elegant & Smooth… Ask for it. History Andrew Quady introduced the first two Vya Vermouths (Sweet and Extra Dry) in 1999 with the idea that vermouth could be appreciated similarly to the way fine wines are enjoyed—for their aroma, complexity, and balance. Quady is known for making fortified dessert wines in the San Joaquin Valley of California at Quady Winery. His expertise in fortified wines naturally lends itself to making vermouth, which is a fortified, aromatized wine. Vya Whisper Dry Vermouth was introduced in 2012 as a softer, more delicate version of Vya Extra Dry Vermouth to harmonize nicely with more subtle spirits like vodka. Winemaking The base wine is a clean and light balanced blend made from San Joaquin Valley grapes. Varietals are a variable mix that may include Orange Muscat. The Vya method is to create base wine with balance, viscosity, and very select varietal character, allowing for absolute integration of wine and herbs. Taste Whisper refers to a mere “whisper of herbs” in wine. Herbs containing bitter components were excluded from the Whisper Dry formula in favor of those with flower and forest like character. A few of these include: linden, elecampane, and needles from a certain fir tree in Maine that contribute a soft evergreen character. Vya Whisper Dry Vermouth is hand infused in small batches at Quady Winery. Vya Whisper Dry marries wonderfully with either vodka or gin. Reverse martinis are excellent and vodka martinis will smell better with Vya Whisper Dry. Whisper’s delicate presence compliments vodka perfectly, never overpowering or feeling intrusive.

ACETALDEHYDE DETERMINATION When analyzing wines for total acetaldehyde content, a small percentage (3-4% in wines containing 20% ethanol and less than 1% in table wine containing 12% ethanol) is bound as acetal. This is not recovered in the usual procedures. The procedure given below is that of Jaulmes and Ham­ elle as tested by Guymon and Wright and is an official method of the AOAC. Modifications to consider the acetal concentration can be made. The air oxidative changes taking place during the alkaline titration step are pre­ vented by addition of a chelating agent (EDTA) to bind copper present.
