Alternatives to SO2 in Wine; Bio-Protection & its Role in Lowering Sulfite Content (WIN Expo 2019)
Increasing public concern with sulfite content in wine is trending, driven by European consumers demanding wines made with lower SO2, and that trend is expected to continue, and grow, here in the United States. This is compelling winemakers to change their winemaking protocols, reducing the SO2 additions throughout the life cycle of winemaking. Given that SO2 has been one of the most commonly used wine additives for centuries, finding alternatives while keeping high quality wines is a challenge for today’s winemaking community. What are winemakers in Europe doing differently and what have the results shown? What role have Non-Saccharomyces yeast strains played? What post-fermentation additions are showing the best results? A panel of winemakers will address all of these questions as well as share their experiences and practices in this interactive session.
