Wine is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting the juice of grapes. In this video, you will learn basic terms related to wine growing and winemaking, basics of fermentation, some background knowledge on wine, its history, and the different things we do in the winemaking process to create the product. Winemaking/growing Terms: Viticulture: everything that is done in the vineyard Vinification: everything that is done in the winery Topography: forms and features of land surfaces Aspect: the degree and direction of a natural land feature Terroir: the French concept of the complete system of the vine, from location, sunlight, and soil to the overall climate, aspect of the vineyard, and the hands of the vigneron Vine Training: training the vines to grow a specific way in order to maximise the performance of the vine in its particular growing conditions Grafting: attaching one grapevine species to the rootstock of another for its disease resistance Green Harvest: the practice of removing bunches of grapes in order to have the vine’s resources go to producing even higher quality fruit with what is left on the vine Hectare: equivalent to 2.47 acres Must: the unfermented juice of the grapes Maceration: extended contact of the grape skins and must Lees: yeast that “dies” and settles at the bottom of the tank Sur lie aging: aging on the lees. This releases aromas and flavours of brioche, white flowers, and almond Bâtonnage: stirring of the lees Chaptalization: the addition of sugar to the must in order to increase the level of alcohol in the finished wine Acidification: the addition of acid to the must or finished wine in order to increase the overall acidity Climate Terms: Macroclimate: climate of an overall larger or general region Mesoclimate: climate of a smaller region or single vineyard Microclimate: smaller climate, for example a vineyard with varying aspects and elevation will have multiple microclimates Arid: hot, dry Mediterranean: characterised by hot, humid summers and mild winters Maritime: influenced by a large body of water Continental: experiences all four seasons, with warm summers and cold winters Music: bensound.com License code: XTEAJAZVPWYWOYXP Artist: : Lunar Years
