UNIT 5 - Precision viticulture steps - Precision vinification

Recording of detailed data for each section/zone of a vineyard with the help of sensors, sensing media and geographical positioning tools (GPS and modern satellite media are allies).
Data processing of each section/zone using contemporary information systems and the creation of smart maps showing these data in order to distinguish the common features between them as well as their differences.
Differentiated section/zone management.

Precision Vinification

The healthy condition of the grapes, their good technological maturation and the proper transportation to the vinification areas.
Utilization of cooling systems
Short-term storage
Sophicticated destemming machines
Indirect cooling of the must
Utilization of enzymes, as well as antioxidant tannins.
Vinificators with automatic recycling systems, wetting or even full rotation of the tank.
Temperature control
Avoiding the use of indigenous yeasts
Continuous laboratory tests
Selection of barrels
