| Subject Overview: |
This subjects is the first of two subjects that provides students with a basic understanding of grape growing and wine making. After completing the viticulture component of the subject, students should be able to demonstrate the skills and knowledge associated with a number of summer and autumn vineyard operations; and propose managment options for optimising grape yield and quality. Some emphasis (theoretical and practical) will be directed towards grape handling and fermentation processes associated with table wine production. The characteristics of red and white wine grape varieties, along with the principles and practices of various wine styles, will be discussed. Basic sensory processes will be developed in practical sessions to evaluate wine styles and flavour characteristics. |
