Non-Conventional Wine Yeast, Oak Compound Analysis, Optimizing Aromatic Expression, and Low Alc, Low Cal & Vegan Winemaking

The WIN Expo Winemaking & Production conference program will feature FOUR sessions discussing The Use of Non-Conventional Wine Yeast, Oak Compound Analysis, Optimizing Aromatic Expression of Wine Grapes, and Low Alc, Low Cal & Vegan Winemaking Solutions. Read more below:

Non-Conventional Wine Yeast and Their Impact on Sensory Characteristics

What are the specific advantages of using Metschnikowia pulcherrima and other non-traditional yeast strains in winemaking? This session, sponsored by AB Biotek, will provide attendees with an opportunity to taste wines made with a yeast strain sourced from the AWRI and experience how these new yeast strains can potentially create novel wine styles with increased aroma, palate complexity, and enhanced color as compared to Sacharramyces cerevisiae and uninoculated controls. - LEARN MORE about this session.

Advances in the Analysis of Oak Compounds by Near Infrared Technology

Tannins have a crucial impact on mouth feel, appearance, bouquet, aroma, and taste of the wines they enrich. This session will discuss the development of innovative tech to support producers in the selection of barrels used to better align with winemaking goals. This new development instantly measures the level of polyphenols—which have a crucial impact on wine’s tannic structure and flavor—contained in barrel staves. LEARN MORE about this session.

Optimizing Aromatic Expression of Your Grapes and Wines

The aromatic qualities of a wine invoke a multisensory experience and is impacted by vineyard management, picking decisions, and winemaking practices as they play an essential role in the aromatic profile. This session will explore varietal aromas, their origin and expression, and how to optimize them in winemaking. A trial tasting will focus on covering the new research related to thiols in red wines.  LEARN MORE about this session.

Low Alc, Low Cal & Vegan Winemaking Solutions: Meeting New Consumer Demands

Lower calories, lower alcohol, vegan, and allergen-free wines are some of the new trends consumers are searching for. But how do producers offer those options without sacrificing the quality of the wines? This session, sponsored by Cloud Sellers, includes a trial tasting and will highlight products and processes winemakers can use to deliver on consumer trends without making concessions on wine quality.
