General Outline Today Introduction Methods for growi rose Grape Handli managi phenolic extraction (bitterness) Rose fruit processi - skin contact time, color extraction Rose techniques for increasi aromatics Juice settli preparation Fermentation techniques Glutathione Stabilization
Intro - Profile Thiols Esters Chenin Blanc, Riesli, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurtztraminer Muscat, Viognier, Rousanne, Trebbiano, Pinot Grigio
Grape Harvesti Stage
Style - America Any variety Saignee method is most popular Not afraid of phenolics, can be balanced with RS Huge rae of color Your style will determine your harvest parameters
Methods Method #1 Grow your crop for Rose Method #2 Grow your crop for red wine and bleed off juice for rose (Sagniee) Method #3 Grow your crop for red wine and crop thin late. Process the thinned fruit for Rose instead of throwi it on the ground. Method #4 Blend red and white wine NOT RECOMMENDED
Phenolic Management Loer skin contact time Phenolics More phenolics extracted Greater need for Juice Fini Bitterness Astriency Pinki Oxidation
Skin Contact Color Extraction Grenache Cinsault Mourvedre Zinfandel Syrah You will lose 30-40% of your color duri fermentation More time on skins = more phenolics extracted Use a fini agent at juice settli to remove bitter phenolics
Pressi Stage
Pressi Enzyme Treatment Phenolic Management Increase free run juice by 11% Decrease pressi time to reduce phenolic extraction Lowers juice turbidity
Pressi Enzyme Treatment Phenolic Management Lafazym Press Enzyme treatment will increase thiol concentration in the wine
Pressi Enzyme Treatment Phenolic Management How to Apply Lafazym Press: 1. Calculate the amount of Lafazym Press needed average dosage is 20g per ton of fruit 2. Dissolve Lafazym Press in water, wait 15 minutes. 3. As fruit is loaded into the press, spray the liquid enzyme mixture evenly over the fruit. 4. Ideally, it needs about one hour of contact time for effect.
Efficient Liquid Enzyme Options Lafase XL Extraction pressi enzyme -concentrated pectinase blend rich in side activities (hemicullase, cellulase) 20 ml/ton (2000lbs of grapes) Lafase XL Clarification Clarification enzyme - Rapid depectinization (flotation) 2 3 ml/hl Regular juice settli 0.5 1mL/hL
Press Cycles Phenolic Management Reduce deflation events Reduce rotations Reduce maceration, loweri extraction of phenolics from skins
Juice Settli Stage
Idea Stabulation : the act of holdi juice cold on solids for a leth of time mixi Temperature Stabulation Time 50 F 24 hours 45 F 48 hours 32 F 4 days to 3 weeks Fini treatment is recommended at end of stabulation period Mix tank every 12 hours with CO2 sparge or bucket of dry ice pellets
Idea Stabulation Why? Stabulation gives significant increase in both thiol and esters in the finished wine. A new enzyme is in development to help get same results in shorter time.
Lafazym THIOL New product reduce stabulation time Trial done in Argentina 2016 (Sauvignon Bl.) Lafazym THIOL added 5g/hL 192% increase in aromatic thiol potential of Sauvignon Blanc
Lafazym THIOL Enhancement tool for wines aromatic profile and intensity. Reduce the time needed for traditional Stabulation Can be used on a wide variety of white grapes: Sauvignon, Colombard, Gewurztraminer, and Riesli. On Rose juice as well; Grenache, Syrah, Merlot, Mourvedre, Cinsault Added after pressi, before alcoholic fermentation 3 6 g/hl (30 60ppm)

Juice Preparation Juice Fini Polylact PVPP Potassium Caseinate 300 1000ppm Easy to incorporate into juice Casein - Eliminates oxidized and oxidizable phenolic compounds PVPP - Eliminates bitterness pinki potential in wine
Juice Prep Summary Phenolic Management 1) Loer time on skins = more phenolic extraction 2) Minimize press cycle rotations to lower phenolic extraction 3) Use pressi enzyme to shorten press cycles to reduce hard press fraction with higher phenolics 4) Use Polymust Press to remove oxidized and bitter phenolics from juice Lower phenolic profile to prevent oxidation and preserve your aromatic profile
Fermentation Stage
Juice Preparation Rack clean juice off lees Target: NTU 100 200 1% Solids Protect juice from Oxygen gas tanks with CO2 or Argon
Juice Preparation Acid Brix Adjustment Balance your juice before you start fermentation 1) Fermentation will integrate your additions/adjustments 2) Yeast can be shocked by a mid fermentation acid addition Target TA greater than 6g/L Tartaric Acid
Juice Preparation Acid Brix Adjustment Average brix conversion to get potential alcohol BRIX 0.605 Potential Alcohol Example: 22.5 Brix X 0.605 = 13.6% Alcohol

Fermentation Yeast Selection #1 most important yeast alcohol tolerance potential alcohol Look at nutrient needs Look at temperature rae The fun stuff: Flavor Mouthfeel
Fermentation Yeast Selection Zymaflore Rae Isolates from a specific terroir Use a sample of fermenti juice at a specific winery in a region to isolate the dominate strain Cross breedi, non GMO Cross between a strain with remarkable fermentation kinetics and a terroir strain
Fermentation Yeast Selection X in name = cross bred strain X5, X16, FX10, RX60, XPure No X in name = terroir isolate VL3, VL2, Delta, F15, RB2
Fermentation Yeast Selection High expression of grapefruit passion fruit. Preserves acidity, low temperature tolerance. High expression of passion fruit lychee. Produces Hsp 12, givi rich mouthfeel. Nutrient needs are high. High expression of pineapple pear. Preserves acidity. Low temp tolerance nutrient needs.

Fermentation Mid Ferment Nutrition #1 Proper nutrition will reduce the risk of H2S production #2 when yeast are happy, they will produce the aromatic profile advertised
Fermentation Mid Ferment Nutrition Nitrogen Sources: NH4+ ammonion ion amino acids (organic) Nitrogen initially present in must is depleted duri first 1/3 of alcoholic fermentation. Need greater biomass for high potential alcohol Addi too much DAP duri growth phase can create excessive biomass Need the right balance of amino Nitrogen and mineral Nitrogen Timi is important
Fermentation Mid Ferment Nutrition Key enzyme in H2S production is sulphite reductase When there is amino acids available, sulphite reductase will produce Sulphur amino acids. When there is a shortage of amino acids, sulphite reductase will produce H2S. Amino Nitrogen is essential! Not just DAP
