This session will look at Botrytis from the winemaker’s point of view: Is it all about sorting? What techniques are at our disposal when we know that rot is making it into our fermenters? We will look at laccase activity, additions at the crusher, and extraction techniques to try to find ways to protect our wines when the fruit isn’t as clean as we would like it to be.
