CULTURAL PRACTICES
![Page 14: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
LEAF PLUCKING • Accomplished just after bloom (fruit set)
• Below, adjacent and above cluster • Exposed clusters aid in developing more uniform
and increased maturity in addition to lower levels of methoxypyrazine (MP) compounds • Helps increase concentration of sugars, anthocyanins,
phenolics and tannins etc. • Promotes wind movement through cluster zone in
drying grapes helping to prevent rot
![Page 15: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CROP LOAD • Extremely important in controlling proper crop
loads which directly effect wine quality • Generally speaking, lower crop levels will
ultimately produce higher quality wines • Also depends on training system, other cultural
practices and vintage conditions
• Also aid in producing lower MP concentrations

GRAPE MATURITY
“optimum harvest parameters”
![Page 22: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
GLUCOSE TO FRUCTOSE RATIOS • Typically reported as a 1:1 ratio • Glucose is Predominately the major component
of unripe grapes in the eastern United States • Fructose is considered to be a sweeter sugar
with a threshold value of .14 g./100 milliliter, whereas glucose has a threshold value of .42 g./100 milliliter
![Page 23: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SUGAR VS SOLUBLE SOLIDS • Unripe to near maturity > 18° Brix, soluble solids
are within 1% of actual sugar content • Just before maturity the actual sugar content
may be 4-5% lower then the actual soluble solids
• Factors influencing this are due to non-fermentable soluble solids such as: pectin's, tannins, pigments, acids and their salts
![Page 24: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
°BRIX AND BERRY SAMPLING • To be within + 1° Brix with a probability level of
.05 two lots of 100 berries should be analyzed • To be within + .5° Brix five lots of 100 berries
should be analyzed
![Page 25: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
BERRY SAMPLING TECHNIQUE • Berry sampling should be from the top, middle,
and bottom of the cluster • Begin berry sampling weekly after veraison • Take samples in the morning to keep track of
°Brix, pH and TA progression consistently • Take samples on both sides of the trellis
![Page 26: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
BERRY SAMPLING TECHNIQUE • Avoid sampling from end rows or vines with
physiological or morphological differences. • Avoid the tendency to sample only mature
berries • This may result in up to 2° higher Brix
measurements then actual at crushing
![Page 27: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E.

FORMULAS TO MONITOR HARVEST MATURITY (SUGAR / BERRY)
Calculation Formula a/100 x b/100 = sugar concentration/berry Where: a = °Brix b = 100 berry weight in grams
Helps take berry to berry variation out and provides efficient monitoring of optimum harvest maturity
![Page 29: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
FORMULAS TO MONITOR HARVEST MATURITY (°BRIX / TA) • Divide °Brix by %TA
• 21/0.90 = 23 • 22/0.80 = 28
• Higher values represent increased maturity • Keep variety, pH and grape condition in mind • A decent way to tract variety & site over the years • One of the formulas we examine at OARDC
![Page 30: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E.

MATURITY DECISIONS • Don’t judge maturity by sugar, pH and TA alone • Sensorial monitoring is an important aspect in
addition to chemical analysis for determining optimum maturity • Follow development of varietal character and
intensity in the vineyard with a goal of maximizing flavor and aroma development while minimizing rot

FRUIT QUALITY AND MICROBIOLOGY CONCERNS
![Page 33: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
FRUIT CONDITION - ROT • “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear!”
![Page 34: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
FRUIT CONDITION - ROT • Produces enzymes called tyrosinase and
laccase which causes browning and oxidation. • Increases levels of glucan which make wine
hard to filter. • Damage fruit leads to secondary spoilage by
microorganisms producing off odors and flavors.
![Page 35: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
FRUIT CONDITION - ROT • Acetic and lactic acid bacteria can be problematic in
rot scenarios • May play important roles in the production of off aromas
and flavors before, during and after fermentation • Native yeast originating in the vineyard
• Hanseniaspora and Kloeckera can produce high levels of ethyl acetate during pre-fermentation processing mainly during cold soak and/or low-temperature fermentation
![Page 36: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• High density populations on fruit arriving at the winery represent a contamination threat to subsequent operations and the winery
• Development of population densities of native species in the winery depends upon microbial load arriving on fruit and subsequently, upon sanitation conditions in the winery
• Rapidly growing microbial populations are spread throughout winery on worker’s boots/clothing as well as by insect vectors resulting in a generalized contamination
FRUIT CONDITION - ROT
![Page 37: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
FRUIT CONDITION – ROT AND WINERY MICROBIOLOGY CONCERNS • Increased microbial properties can lead to a
depletion of nitrogen (YANC) needed for a successful primary fermentation
• An increase in rot elevates must pH (> 3.5) • Greater chance for both chemical and microbial
instabilities • Also, tartrate, protein, color and SO2 effectiveness
![Page 38: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E.

SPOILAGE PRODUCTS PRODUCED BY MICROORGANISMS FROM ROT • Yeast: hydrogen sulfide, acetic acid, ethyl
acetate, higher alcohols, etc.. • Molds: glycerol, gluconic acid, ethanol, etc.. • Bacteria: acetic acid, ethyl acetate, butyric acid,
acetaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, etc..

FRUIT CONDITION – ROT PREVENTATIVE MEASURES • Continually pick out rot in the vineyard • Sorting tables prior to destemming and crushing
worth extra effort in preventing rotten grapes to be fermented
• Increased amounts of rot require an increase in sulfur dioxide to the must • 50 to 75 ppm recommended for higher percentages of
rot coming into the cellar
![Page 41: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E.

FRUIT CONDITION – ROT PREVENTATIVE MEASURES • Whole cluster pressing recommended to white
varieties and Thermovinification to reds high in rot • Lysozyme can be added to must and wine to protect
against gram positive bacteria (LAB) • Do not add to must of grapes known for low color
extraction such as Pinot Noir • Tannin addition as an antioxidant and lower O2
availability to microbes and inhibit laccase
![Page 42: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E.

FRUIT CONDITION – ROT PREVENTATIVE MEASURES • Follow wine movement from crushing to bottling
in evaluating for off aroma’s and flavors • Monitor and maintain sulfur dioxide levels based
on wine pH at .8ppm molecular SO2 • Practice good sanitation and sterilization
protocols in winery • Practice sterile bottling techniques

HARVEST – HOLDING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES • Hand harvesting ultimately provides better overall
grape quality with less maceration • Harvest at cooler temperatures at night or early
morning to minimize microbial activity • Use sulfur dioxide at rates of 75 to 100 ppm to bins
for higher temperatures of grapes at harvest in addition to increased percentages of rot
• Minimize time from harvest to cellar

HARVEST – HOLDING TIMES AND TEMPERATURES • Grapes should be cooled immediately after
harvesting. • Unless skin contact is desirable crushing should
occur shortly after cooling of the grapes. • Skin contact should be performed below 50° F if
possible

SKIN CONTACT & ENZYME USE - WHITES • Excellent choice for aromatic white varieties
• Vidal, Traminette, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Muscat
• Desire of extracting the free volatile terpene fractions (Monoterpenes) and other flavorants present in grape juice and skins
• Use of pectolytic enzyme with Beta-glucosidase activity beneficial in releasing free volatile terpenes Ex.(Cinn Free)

ENZYME ADDITION - REDS • The addition of pectinase enzymes help aid in both
color extraction and stability • Formulated to have cellular and protease side activities
that break down cellular structures helping increase extraction of anthocyanins, polymeric phenols and tannins
• Follow manufactures directions and addition rates for specific enzymes
• Recommend addition of enzymes to crushed grapes just prior or shortly after fermentation starts

JUICE CLARIFICATION - WHITES • Juice clarification prior to fermentation is a very
important aspect in producing a premium white table wine high in both aroma and flavor varietal attributes
![Page 55: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
ADVANTAGES OF JUICE CLARIFICATION • Produce clean, fruity and delicate wines • Production of less higher alcohols with better
varietal characteristics • Less off odors, particularly hydrogen sulfide • Produces wines with less harsh and rough
characteristics
![Page 56: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
DISADVANTAGES OF JUICE CLARIFICATION • Must with excess juice clarification of less then
.2% insoluble solids may lead to lengthened fermentations
![Page 57: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
FACTORS INFLUENCING AMOUNT OF JUICE INSOLUBLE SOLIDS • Fruit condition - sound fruit yields less solids • Maturity - over ripe grapes tend to produce
higher insoluble solids • Variety - certain varieties are recognized for
producing high insoluble solids • Fruit temperature - high temperature grapes
produce higher insoluble solids
![Page 58: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
JUICE CLARIFICATION PRACTICES • Natural settling and racking • Addition of pectic enzymes with natural settling
and racking • Addition of fining materials with natural settling
and racking. (ex. bentonite) • Centrifugation
![Page 59: ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE … · ESSENTIAL PRE-FERMENTATION PRACTICES IN QUALITY TABLE WINE PRODUCTION T.E. STEINER DEPT. of Horticulture and Crop Sciences](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041300/5e0ea0e22aeb664871037306/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
JUICE CLARIFICATION PRACTICES • Juice clarification should take place at 50 - 55ºF to
provide a more efficient separation • Add pectic enzymes based on manufactures
instructions, settle for 12 hours and rack off • CinnFree, Pec 5L, KS etc…
• Addition of bentonite (250 mg./L.) or other fining agent while mixing slightly, settle for appropriate time and rack off
