Maybe you have heard or seen the term 'high brix'. We feature it on our website when talking about our creamy high brix fruit pastes. But what does high brix actually mean? Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ePd6jB-Y #highbrix #fruit #paste #ParadiseFruits

Destemming and pressing. The harvest in our vineyards is going swimmingly. The grapes are now ready for #destemming and #pressing. Destemming is the operation that allows you to separate the grapes from the stalks to facilitate the release of the #must and then send them to pressing. This operation must be carried out delicately, so as not to compromise the quality of the grapes and leaving the stems intact, to avoid the transfer of unwanted substances to the must. The grapes are then pressed to obtain the must. Pressing is the first mechanical operation to which the grapes are subjected after the harvest and has the function of extracting the juice and pulp from the grapes, giving life to the must that will then be transformed into wine. It is a particularly delicate operation that must be carried out with care. It is essential that the grapes have not undergone pressing during transport, which could trigger unwanted fermentation. Our grapes are getting ready to give life to our fantastic wines.

Do you believe a non-mandatory collection of data would achieve sufficient coverage to make the National Vineyard Register (NVR) effective? This is one of the questions we are asking in our online survey (click here) to help determine what the grape and wine sector wants and needs from the NVR. https://lnkd.in/gEfeJzyZ Please share your views on the development of this resource which will be a comprehensive database of grapevine plantings across Australia and will capture details such as grape varieties, vine age, yield, vineyard size and location. We’ve extended the feedback deadline to December 13 to find out from sector stakeholders what the NVR should look like, the data it should include and how best to collect it. We’d love to hear your thoughts. Please read the NVR consultation paper here and take a few moments to complete the online survey here. https://lnkd.in/gqmUEvr3 Or send your thoughts via email to [email protected] If you’d like to know more, contact National Vineyard Register Project Manager Sandy Hathaway at [email protected] #aussiewine #nationalvineyardregister #nvr #grapegrowing #winemaking #wineinsights #australianwine #shareyourviews

5 facts about Graza’s new limited-edition Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Potato Chips. 1. The potatoes are Galician potatoes. 2. Made with GRAZA’s extra-virgin olive oil from Spain. 3. Flaky salt from 6,000 year-old Anana salt flats. 4. Slow-fried: cooked at lower temperatures for longer. 5. Made in Spain. I got these chips at a Chicago Foxtrot.

Leaf plucking in vineyards is important for several reasons. It helps improve air circulation, sunlight exposure, and minimizes disease risk. These factors contribute to better grape ripening, enhanced flavor development, and overall grape quality of wine. Leaf plucking can indeed contribute to the thickening of grape skins and increase polyphenolic compounds like anthocyanins and tannins. By exposing grapes to more sunlight through proper leaf removal, it enhances skin thickness and encourages the production of these compounds. This, in turn, can positively influence the color, structure, and flavor complexity of the resulting wine. #vineyards #viticulture #thewildyeast #nzwine #newzealand #grapes #pinotnoir #chardonnay #martinborough #wairarapawine https://lnkd.in/gQBSvtzH

Happy International Sauvignon Blanc Day! Hope you're enjoying a glass of this delicious wine. If you want to learn more about why SB grows so well in Lake County, we recommend reading this Grower Spotlight featuring Dancing Crow Vineyards, one of Lake County's esteemed Sauvignon Blanc growers. “Big Valley has heavy clay in the soil and high magnesium, which means the ground retains water. Most grape varieties can’t handle having wet roots, but thankfully, Sauvignon Blanc tends to thrive in these conditions. Being at 1,400-foot elevation, with intense heat but wet soil, keeps the vines from getting over-stressed so they don’t ramp up sugar production. The high water content in the soil creates natural inhibition of sugar accumulation. There aren’t many places in California where these conditions exist. We get this curve where we have a good amount of sugar for a low alcohol wine with tons of acidity, freshness and fruit quality. That’s really hard to match!” Read more: https://bit.ly/3JP1Wri Photo credit: Karen Pavone

Testing vine petioles is essential for understanding the overall health and nutrient status of grapevines. The petiole, or the stem that attaches the leaf to the vine, serves as a critical indicator of nutrient uptake, as it reflects the levels of essential elements such as nitrogen, potassium, and magnesium. By analyzing these nutrient levels, viticulturists can make informed decisions about fertilization strategies, ensuring that the vines receive the right balance of nutrients for optimal growth and fruit production. This proactive approach helps to prevent deficiencies or toxicities that can impact vine health, grape quality, and ultimately, wine production. Regular testing also aids in diagnosing problems early, allowing for timely interventions that can improve vineyard sustainability and yield.
