This subject is the second of two subjects that provides students with a basic understanding of grape growing and wine making. The viticulture component of the subject covers the climatic and site requirements for vineyard establishment and the reasons for choice of rootstock and scion for particular sites. The viticulture operations in winter and spring are explored with an emphasis on strategies for the optimisation of yield and quality of wine-grapes. The processes associated with post fermentation are addressed in both theoretical and practical situations. Evaluation of wine, wine styles and flavour characteristics are refined. -- Course Website
