Badacsony types. • the Great Plain• the 19th century : new production methods

most important aspects of wine grape growing: annual lifecycle of the vine, climate, terrain, vineyard management, pests and diseases, terroir, and planting grapes.

• Terrain• Planting Grapes

• Vineyard Management• Pests and Diseases

• Terroir• The Annual Life Cycle of the

Vine

• Harvest• Deciding on a harvesting date for

White Wine Production depends on the varietal and the style of wine.

• Barrel Aging

•Some other white grapes are aged in barrels, but most rely on their fresh, fruity forward characteristics.

• Sulfur Dioxide Addition

Fermentation

During the fermentation the sugars are converted into alcohol and aromatic substances. When fermentation happens at a too high temperature the wine looses its aroma, freshness and character. With this last choice the process is more constant and similar aromas are produced. Each culture advances certain aromas and puts others to the background.

Adding to Fermentation ContainersThe style of the wine will dictate which container will be used. Oak barrels impart soft tannins and vanilla flavors. Stainless steel tanks allow the winemaker to control the fermentation temperature and produce crisp white wines.

Ingredients:• Alcohol • Yeast• Sugar• Acids• Tannin/tannic acid• Glycerine• Water

• Classification by the ammount of sugar:

• - dry < 4 g/l.

• - semi-dry 4-12 g/l.

• - semi-sweet 12-45 g/l.

• - sweet > 45 g/l.

Sulphur compounds in wine:- Hydrogen sulfide- Mercaptans (also known as thiols)- Ethyl mercaptan- Methyl mercaptan- Dimethyl sulfide- Carbon disulfide- Dimethyl disulfide- Diethyl disulfide- Benzenemethanethiol

• Clarification & Bottling

After the wine is clarified to the winemaker’s specifications, it is time for bottling.
