Webinar: Using Fermentation Tannins to Preserve Natural Grape Tannins
July 30, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am PDT
Free
Fermentation tannins are a common addition during red grape processing and fermentation. In this seminar we will review the “sacrificial tannin” action, and the specific wine quality benefits of using fermentation tannins. We will present research from an experiment done with Fresno State, using a combination of two different fermentation tannins during grape processing and maceration. This will be an excellent review leading into planning for harvest 2019.
