Subject outline
Students of this subject will develop knowledge and skills through a practical study of winemaking including the exploration of traditional techniques and emerging international practices. Areas covered will include specialised wines, vintage planning, bottling and packaging. Students will also develop knowledge of quality assurance systems in wine production including HACCP, vintage planning, cellar preparation and vintage operations for red and white wine production. The processes of primary and secondary fermentation, maturation and ageing and stabilisation will be explored as will the operation of winery equipment associated with grape processing relevant to these operations.
