On July 29, UC Davis V&E Extension will host an On-Campus Fermentation Readiness program at the Robert Mondavi Institute Sensory Theater. It will cover harvest decisions from the vineyard to the winery. Presentations will include vineyard decisions, getting your winery ready for harvest and how, when and what to measure in the winery laboratory. Additionally, smart fermentation decisions will be discussed such as yeast choices, nutritional requirements and the use of SO2. Knowing potential issues and taking proactive steps to prevent these are important. However, sometimes even with the best planning, you may have arrested fermentations or reductive problems. The latest research on why this happens and what to do will be shared. And lastly, nothing can replace good cleaning and sanitation practices, especially during harvest.
