Mutants and Clones of Pinot Noir

Pinot noir is almost certainly a very ancient variety that may be only one or two generations removed from wild, Vitis sylvestris, vines.

Exploring Effects On Wine

As red wine ages, the harsh tannins of its youth gradually give way to a softer mouthfeel. An inky dark color will eventually fade to a light brick red. These changes occur due to the complex chemical reactions of the phenolic compounds of the wine. In processes that begin during fermentation and continue after bottling,

Alternative Wine Closure

Alternative wine closures are substitute closures used in the wine industry for sealing wine bottles in place of traditional cork closures.
