STRESS IN VINE AND WINE Johannes Reinhardt Anthony Road Wine Co 33rd Annual New York Wine Industry Workshop 31 March, 1-2 April 2004
Johannes Reinhardt, a German native, was born in a little village in Franconia, 80 miles east of Frankfurt/Main. Johannes has been in the vineyard and wine cellars all his life. He has had extensive experience as winemaker and vineyard manager in small and medium size wineries, allowing him to keep a hand on the vines and a hand on the glass. Since the summer of 2000 he is winemaker and consultant for vineyard management at Anthony Road Wine Co., Penn Yan, NY.
A great wine can be created with close attention to the basics. Wine quality begins with the best possible effort in the vineyard and continues into the cellar. Respect natures gift by giving the grapes a chance to express their character – this can make a fine difference!
WINE MAKING • crushing • separation of high press fraction (approx. from 0.8 bar) • no SO2 pre-fermentation • use of pectolytic enzyme (Cinn-Free) • natural clarification between 8 and 12 hours • -racking and preparation for fermentation
