Winemaking Destemmed & Crushed D254 yeast
Co-inoculation Oenococcus oenie 25°C Drain & Pres at -1°B Post MLF 50ppm SO2 addition Bottled under screw cap
8
Bleeding Extracting of juice after crushing and before fermentation
Do before colour disperses in juice 10% - 50% concentration Depends on ripeness Disadvantage: Unstable colour Over extraction Less volume Costly < 140g/100 berries Before additions – TA problematic More effective or necessary with high sugars
9
Stems/Whole Bunch Very specific to Shiraz Stems:
Adding of destemmed stalks and berries in tank Dispersed or at bottom of tank 10% - 30% Whole bunch: 10% - 100% Different stems have different effect E.g. clonal effect
10
Stems Benefits: Enhances mouth feel Complex flavour profile (Spicy)
Adds freshness and vibrancy Better fermentation, e.g. aeration, mixing, press Mouth feel: not in warmer regions
11
Stems Problems: Over extraction Green (Hot areas) Tannic
Rise in pH – Susceptible to Bret/bacteria Slight decrease in colour
