#PVPPVI #OENOLOGY #PRODUCER #WINE #PVPP PVP-PVI is a polyvinylimidazole and polyvinylpyrrolidone adsorbent cross-linked copolymer. The polymer is insoluble and slightly hygroscopic. It has several functional imidazole groups that connect selectively and scavenge various metals removing them from wine, mainly Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Plumbum (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), and Aluminium (Al). The removal of metals was more effective when PVP-PVI was applied to the wine than to the grape juice. The removal of Fe and Pb was more effective in white wines than in red wines, while the removal of Cu and Al was higher in red wines. Generally, the higher the PVP-PVI dose, the greater the quantity of removed metallic elements (Copper, Iron, Plumbum, and Aluminium). However, the amount used should be less than 500 mg/L. Packing: 20kg/fiber carton

Lattes as a second life of an old barrel   As barrels age, their ability to impart desirable flavors and aromas to wine or spirits gradually diminishes. However, the introduction of Lattes can give these barrels a second life, restoring their influence on the aging process. By adding Lattes to a used barrel, winemakers and distillers can continue to extract rich, complex notes from the oak, such as vanilla, spice, and caramel, effectively renewing the barrel’s contribution to the product.   Lattes are designed to easily fit into the barrel through the bunghole, where they gradually release oak notes and tannins into the wine or spirit. The porous nature of the barrel wood, combined with the Lattes, facilitates controlled oxidation, faithfully replicating the intricate characteristics and aroma of aging in a new oak barrel. This synergy helps maintain the aromatic profile of the beverage during multiple aging cycles, ensuring a well-integrated and balanced final product.   Produced from premium oak that undergoes natural air-drying for at least 24 months, Lattes do not require any additional chemical treatment and are ready for direct introduction into the drink. Whether used wines, spirits, beer or cider, Lattes enhance the flavor and aroma of beverages while maximizing the lifespan of the barrel.   By incorporating Lattes into the aging process, Bousinage. Oak&Wine provides a sustainable solution that not only extends the life of barrels but also helps producers maintain the quality and richness of their products.   #bousinage #sustainability #oakalternatives #lattes #wineaging #spiritsaging #ecofriendlywinemaking #barrelrenewal #craftsmanship #alternative #technology

📢 New Insights on Wax Overcapping in Wine Bottles 🍷 Did you know that the wax seal on your favorite bottle of wine might be more for look than preservation? A new study delves into the role of wax overcapping, exploring whether it protects against oxidation or simply adds a touch of elegance. Researchers have found that, while certain wax types can act as oxygen barriers, high-quality cork stoppers do not necessarily benefit from an added wax seal. However, for natural corks with occasional flaws, wax can help limit oxygen ingress by adding extra protection. So, next time you see that wax seal, you will know there’s more to the story! Dive into the fascinating blend of science and tradition in wine preservation with the latest research. 🧪✨ Read all at: https://lnkd.in/gxAaXmU #WineScience #Winemaking #WinePreservation #Research

What is the significance of grape crushing with feet? The gentle pressure of bare feet releases juices without crushing seeds, resulting in smoother, more nuanced #wines. This traditional method allows for greater control over the extraction process, yielding wines with enhanced complexity and depth of flavor. Grape crushing with feet isn't just a tradition—it's a timeless ritual that connects us to the essence of winemaking. It's a tactile experience that brings us closer to the heart of the grape and the soul of the wine. To ensure optimal hygiene during grape crushing with feet, rigorous sanitation measures are implemented. Stainless steel vats, meticulously cleaned and sanitized, serve as the vessel for grape stomping, minimizing the risk of bacterial contamination. Additionally, all participants involved in the process adhere to strict cleanliness protocols, including thorough washing and sanitizing of feet before stepping into the vats. As a viticulturist, deeply interested in preserving such traditions while upholding modern standards, Look forward to see the integration of such traditional practices for the limited edition wines into our winemaking process with careful consideration for hygiene.

Did you know that corks serve a purpose other than simply sealing wine? They actually play a key role in aging too! Corks allow just the right amount of oxygen into the bottle, which helps wine age gracefully over time. The elasticity of cork also helps it expand and seal tightly, protecting your wine from spoilage. #WineStorage #WineAging #VintageWineStorage #AustinTexas

Grape distillates and their aging with oak alternatives   The art of aging grape distillates using oak alternatives is crucial to developing the rich and complex flavors found in high-quality spirits such as brandy and cognac. This process significantly enhances the final product, contributing to its depth and character.   Oak alternatives play a pivotal role in the maturation process, imparting unique qualities to the distillate through their interaction over time. This exchange between wood and spirit results in creating a well-balanced and refined beverage. By using oak alternatives, distillers can achieve a variety of flavor profiles, from vanilla and caramel to spice and toasted wood, making the spirit more complex and rich. The tannins and other compounds in oak alternatives also give the spirit a rich, golden color and add a mix of aromas that make the spirit smell more sophisticated. Furthermore, oak alternatives make the spirit less harsh and give it a smoother, more rounded feel.   The selection of oak alternatives and their toasting levels can significantly influence the final flavor profile of the distillate. Light toasting can bring out subtle vanilla and floral notes, while medium to heavy toasting introduces deeper flavors like caramel, spice, and smoke. The aging period can vary, with longer aging times typically resulting in more pronounced flavors and a smoother mouthfeel. For brandy, aging with oak alternatives for a period of six months to a year can develop a well-rounded profile, while extended aging of up to three years can create a more complex and mature spirit.   The aging conditions, such as temperature and humidity, also play a crucial role in the development of the spirit. A controlled environment with consistent temperature and moderate humidity ensures the optimal interaction between the oak alternatives and the distillate, allowing for a steady maturation process.   #bousinage #winemaking #distillation #oakaging #grapedistillates #spirits #brandy #cognac #oakalternatives #agingprocess #flavordevelopment #craftsmanship #premiumspirits
