Preparation of Musts and Juice

  • Chapter

Abstract

The natural variation in almost every aspect of grape composition is a major feature of wines and is the cause of the seasonal, varietal, and regional differences that they display. The application of scientific understanding to the production of the best possible wines requires that we take steps to protect the most desirable components of the juice, sometimes by intervening with natural reactions and sometimes to overcome natural deficiencies or imbalances that exist by nutrient additions and physical treatments.
