  • 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%.

So, it should come as no surprise that there’s glass of Monterey’s finest. sugar in that glass of wine you’re sipping from. And, no, we’re just talking about the overly sweet taste in a ruby port-style wine. We’re talking about the presence of sugars in all wines. In fact, sugars are required in order for the fermentation process in winemaking to occur, so really they are an important part of the process. But, what about this thing you’ve heard of called the “re- sidual sugar” content of a particular wine? Does it really mean leftover sugar, as the name would imply? Yes…in a way, but we’ll come back to this topic. Store Hours Wine grapes accumulate sugars while they are on the vine during the photosynthesis process.

  • Chardonnay Matthieu Finot King Family Vineyards
    Comparing reverse osmosis and chaptalization in Chardonnay Matthieu Finot King Family Vineyards Summary In Virginia, wet vintages like 2003, 2011 and 2018 as well as more frequent fall rains and occasional hurricanes sometimes lead winemakers to pick grapes with lower potential alcohol than desired. The 2018 in Virginia included high amounts of rainfall, providing an opportunity to test the use of juice RO as a means of increasing potential alcohol and combatting dilution of flavor and body. Chardonnay juice was treated with either chaptalization or reverse osmosis to the same target Brix prior to fermentation. Chemical and sensory outcomes were evaluated 6 months after completion of primary fermentation. Reverse osmosis led to higher TA, higher pH and slightly higher volatile acidity in the finished wine. There were no significant differences in perception of aroma or flavor concentration in a paired difference test. Descriptors for intensity and volume were also scored the same by a sensory panel with no significant differences between the wines. Introduction In Virginia, wet vintages like 2003, 2011 and 2018 as well as more frequent fall rains and occasional hurricanes sometimes lead winemakers to pick grapes with lower potential alcohol than desired. Winemakers are then left with the decision of whether to intervene to augment the potential alcohol or not intervene and make a lower alcohol wine. Several options for increasing sugar include chaptalization, addition of juice concentrate and reverse osmosis of juice to remove water. Chaptalization adds only sugar and does not address concerns about flavor dilution, though chaptalization alone has been shown to increase sensory perception of ripeness (Sherman et al 2017).

Early April the vine starts to grow seriously. May is mild and humid, and the flowering begins around the 5 th of June to finish at the end of the month. For information we got 37 mm rain from the mid-April until the end of May, and 53 mm during June. The good flowering let us hope a good harvest. The grapes are nicely built. July is nicely warm and humid (84 mm rain) and August is really wet with 118 mm rain. September is mild and dry. We start to pick the first grapes (Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois) the 23 rd of September under beautiful weather conditions.

Now talking about wines, the Wine and sprit association of the Great Britain has sponsored the following definition of Wine ―Wine is an alcoholic beverage obtained from the fermentation of the juice of freshly gathered grapes. Fermentation is conducted in the district of origin according to local customs and traditions. To bear the name Wine, the product must come only from grapes. If made from other fruits; the fruit name must be put before the tern Wine eg. Blackberry Wine, Apricot Wine, Fig Wine. Only a small part of the world is Wine producing. This is because the grape will only provide juice of the quality required for conversion into consumable Wine where two climatic conditions prevail. 1. Sufficient sun-shine to ripen the grape 2. Winters that are moderate yet sufficiently cool to give the Wine a chance to rest and restore its strength for the growing and fruiting season.

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.

  • Harvest Parameters
    HARVEST PARAMETERS Determining when to harvest is often one of the grapegrower’s biggest challenges. Traditionally, there are three parameters that can be measured objectively: °Brix (indicates approximate sugar level, measured by a refractometer); juice pH, measured by a pH meter; and titratable acidity (TA). It is important that measurements be taken on a representative sample. Take at least 100 berries, randomly selected from vines of the same cultivar, from several different locations in the vineyard. Place them in a zip-closed plastic bag, crush the berries and extract a sample of the juice to test for °Brix, pH and TA. Suggested levels for white wine grapes: °Brix – 18 to 22 pH – 3.2 to 3.0 TA – 0.8 to 1.2 Suggested levels for red winegrapes: °Brix – 21 to 24 pH – 3.4 to 3.5 TA – 0.6 to 1.2 For grapes that become “foxy” or lose their acidity at high °Brix, such as ‘Edelweiss’, it is recommended to harvest the fruit considerably earlier, e.g., 13.5 to 15 °Brix (where legal, chaptalization – adding of sugar – may enable a suitable alcohol level to be achieved). Winery personnel (the winemaker) may dictate that harvest take place when the grape parameters vary significantly from those noted above. Experienced winemakers often base their harvest timing preferences on past experience, especially the taste of the juice, which may provide them with a particular wine style that they prefer. Flavors, and other characteristics of a given cultivar may also influence harvest timing. Timing of harvest may be accelerated by bird, insect or disease pressure – damaged grapes do not make good wine.

At the warmer site in a cooler growing season, research on Everson, WA, rootstocks had no effect on final juice harvest metrics measured by soluble short-season/cool-tolerant varieties solids, titratable acidity (TA), and pH.
