A winemaking masterclass – Dealcoholisation of wine in sparkling wine production – potential in the context of climate change by Matthias Schmitt and chaired by Dr Belinda Kemp.
Led by Matthias Schmitt of Hochschule Geisenheim University, this masterclass will explore the sensory effects of dealcoholisation and substitution strategies to maintain the organoleptic balance of low-alcohol sparkling wines. With the rare opportunity to taste wines in various stages of this process this masterclass will offer detailed insight into one of the largest growing areas of the wine industry.
Dr Belinda Kemp of NIAB and vice-president of Microbiology Expert Group in the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) will chair this sparkling masterclass. Throughout the masterclass Matthias will present research and innovations designed to improve the experience of drinking no/low alcohol wines. This masterclass will highlight many techniques and applications from early harvesting to the addition of CO2 and sweetening with rectified grape must.
This world leading research and the opportunity to experience the differences produced in the resulting wines is available for only 120 guests at this year’s Vineyard & Winery Show.
