Cabernet Hang-time Forum
For your calendar Wines of WA, the Wine Industry Technical committee, the AWRI, Curtin University, UWA and DAFWA will be hosting a Cabernet Hang-time forum for industry in Margaret River on 24 January 2017.
The forum will utilise outcomes from field trials, small batch winemaking and sensory evaluations by AWRI on Cabernet production in WA and current research on hang-time being conducted throughout other regions in Australia and overseas. Curtin University with the AWRI will conduct a tasting to illustrate the sensory differences associated with different hang-times.
Other presentations will highlight some of the international and Australian research in this area. These presentations include two speakers from the AWRI, Keren Bindon (Impact of hang time on phenolics), Simon Nordestgaard (fruit sorting) and a speaker from the University of Adelaide, Olaf Schelezki (optimisation of harvesting) and a potential guest speaker from California (TBC).
Research undertaken by DAFWA and Curtin will provide attendees with current data on yield and profitability parameters associated with different hang-times. The forum will conclude with a presentation on climate change modelling specific to the Margaret River region.
Further details will be provided closer to the date of the event.
If you have any specific questions for inclusion at the forum, please contact Larry Jorgensen, CEO, Wines of WA, ceo@winewa.asn.au.
