Viniflora® OCTAVE is developed to ensure superior sensory characteristics in white and rosé wine from warm regions

Lack of acidity caused by high temperature currently requires compensation > To avoid a dull and flabby wine, most winemakers add tartaric acid which is partly unstable and lost by precipitation > Due to raising pH in grape musts, the efficiency of sulfites is reduced, consequently more SO₂ needs to be added > The high pH might trigger spontaneous malolactic fermentation, which lead [...]

2020 A vintage difficult to apprehend

The northern regions see complicated alcoholic fermentation (AF) endings, with reinoculation with Bayanus type yeast and addition of activators. The southern regions are less impacted by the hot, dry summer, but night-time temperatures have dropped drastically since mid-October. Despite favorable pH levels, many malolactic fermentations (MLF) are at or near standstill. Several phenomena come into play. [...]

World sparkling wine situation in 2018

In the last twenty years, the sparkling wine market has expanded in response to high global demand. One of the factors behind the global success of sparkling wines is the deseasonalisation of consumption (which is not linked to end-of-year celebrations or parties anymore) combined with a more diversified supply characterised by a broader range of prices than in the past. Nowadays, consumption of sparkling [...]

Dessert wine – straw wine

Grapes are harvested in late autumn, in October or even later, and then they are stored in airy spaces. The clusters are placed on racks and mats (to avoid mold) in order to dry and reduce or eliminate water (dehydration) present in berries. Concentration of sugar and flavors grows. They are stored during the winter, until they’ve frozen, and then they are gently hand-crushed. Fermentation is done in oak [...]

Tannins in wine

Wines do not have to contain tannin to be good today, but in the hope that this will bring about a better taste in the future. Just like white wines that require aging need acidity when young, tannin acts as a preservative which contributes to the growth of the great red wines. Wine can absorb all kinds of aromatic elements, but it takes time for them to harmonize and produce a mature complex wine. To contribute to [...]

Why is it recommended to buy wine from specialized wine stores?

In contemporary Bucharest, specialized wine stores are often embedded in or associated with wine bars. The atmosphere inside a specialized wine shop and its philosophy make the difference between a sterile experience and a comfortable, informative shopping experience. Wine bars/shops offer a wide variety of wines from different grape varieties, from different countries of the world, vinified in different styles. [...]

Oak Barrels

The number of uses of an oak barrel has an impact on the final taste of the wine. The newer the barrel, the more it will give the wine more flavour and tannin. Less famous Bordeaux vineyards use barrels that have been used before and therefore the effect isn't the same as it is in the case of quality wines. The aroma of the wine may be influenced by the method of matching the barrels and the origin of the oak [...]

Ice wine, wine produced from the grapes that passed through the first frost

How do the winemakers highlight the grapes that went through the first winter frost? They turn them into ice wine, a sweet and aromatic liquor which, like the strong essences, is kept in small bottles. Ice wine can be obtained only in special conditions of cold climate, so the production can be quite risky. On one side, it is possible for the grapes to rot before the frost and thus they can no longer be [...]

Food and Wine Pairing

Food and wine paring is not as complicated as it sounds. First of all, pairing wines and food is entirely an experience personalised by you and your taste buds, says Eddie Osterland, Master Sommelier. Properly chosen, wine acts like a spice rather than a beverage. Like salt and pepper or a squeeze of lemon on fish, wine enhances and amplifies food flavours. When combining foods and wines, the goal is to create a [...]

What is terroir and what does it do for wine?

Terroir is a french word (terre) derived from the Latin (terratorium) and expresses a historical and cultural concept. The wine is deeply related to the place - the natural aspects of the terroir, but also to the people - wine experts choices. The effect of these features reflects on the taste and quality of the wine. Natural aspects of the terroir: type of soil form of the land - flat, hilly, [...]

How to serve Sparkling Wine

A bottle of sparkling wine can mean feast, but it's also a dangerous weapon. Serving temperature: 6-10 degrees Sweetness The amount of sugar (dosage) added after the second fermentation and aging varies and determines the level of sweetness of sparkling wine. Categorisation Brut Natural or Brut Zero (less than 3 grams of sugar/liter) Extra Brut (less than 6 grams of sugar/liter, with a tolerance [...]

Wine Serving Temperatures

According to convention, white and rosé wines are served cold and red ones are served at "room temperature", which is a fairly vague term. It's nice to know that this is just a convention - if you don't obey this rule, you could enhance your pleasure. Demi-sweet white wines, sparkling wines and champagne are served at lower temperatures 6-8°C White wines and dry rose wines should be served [...]

The Basics of Wine Tasting

- you'll need a white surface to examine the colour; - you will be unpopular if you smoke, wear parfume or have a strong odor at formal tastings; - Whatever the occasion, it will be much easier to taste wine without being bothered by odors, though, in certain social events you may as well sacrifice the brief flavour of a Pinot Gris for the exotic scent of a perfume or the pleasure of a cigarette. Wine [...]

Useful words for wine lovers

Residual sugar: amount of sugar left in the wine after the fermentation process has finished. Volatile: something that quickly turns into fragrant vapours. All wines are, to some extent, volatile. They are volatile if they are warm and made out of very fragrant varieties. Wine is said to be volatile if it's too volatile, that is to say, it gives off its aroma so fast that it begins to smell of vinegar. [...]
