The Winemaking & Production track, sponsored by Crafted ERP, will feature interactive sessions that will focus on Aroma Retention, Clean-Crafted Tools for White & Rosé, Accentuated Cut Edge Technology, and fSO2 Variance in Barrels.

The Sweet Smell of Success: A Breakthrough in Aroma Retention in Winemaking
*Includes Trial Tasting*

The presence, or absence, of aromas can make the difference between a good wine and an exceptional one. However, once certain aromas escape the fermenting tank, they are gone forever. How can winemakers prevent aroma-loss? Are there ways to retain aroma without tampering with the fermentation process? Join this panel of winemakers who have experienced success in aroma retention. Learn their processes, what lab analyses conclude and...

Cool Tools for 'Clean-Crafted' White and Rosé Winemaking
*Includes Trial Tasting*

Consumers are demanding more clean-crafted and organically-labelled wines. As a result, ingredient labeling is making its way onto wine bottles. This new reality necessitates innovative winemaking tools that can replace chemical inputs, such as SO2. This session will explore a variety of options for winemakers looking to produce "clean," organic, and low/no...

2020 Studies on Accentuated Cut Edge Technology
*Includes Trial Tasting*

It is widely held that early extraction of monomeric anthocyanins reduces tannin polymer length, resulting in smaller colloids with greater surface area, more refined texture and greater aromatic integration. Many technologies have been recently devised to overcome pectin inhibition of extraction. This session will explore accentuated cut edges and how they provide a simple, effective, and economical approach. The results of nine controlled trials...

Variance in fSO2 Across Barrels and the Quality 
Impact of Precision-Dosing
Every wine barrel has unique qualities, which typically lead to different sensory outcomes—even when the wine, cooperage, and barrel type are all the same. However, relatively little work has been done to evaluate individual barrel performances on a chemical level and what those potential differences mean for wine quality. Technology has been used to collect free SO2 measurements for relatively large quantities of barrels across multiple wineries, barrel groups, and wine varietals. Join this session to understand the data collected, what...
