Technology is a grape friend to winemakers
From vine to barrel, bottle and beyond
Winemaking is both an art and a science. While experience, taste and other senses play a role in the crafting of wine, wine makers can harness technology to help them with the scientific elements and improve the quality and quantity of their vines and yields.
From the harvesting of the grapes of the vineyard, to the extraction, fermentation, filtration, aging and bottling of wine for consumption, technology can assist by optimising the factors that will influence a wine's flavour.
