Abstract
A new device currently in development in Tasmania could provide greater accuracy and efficiency to
winemakers when deciding at which point to stop pressing their grapes. Developed by researchers at the
Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture, the technique uses wavelengths to measure phenolic compounds in
juice. While it’s been designed for use in the production of sparkling wines, there could be potential for it
to be applied to other wine types too. With a prototype about to be constructed, Hans Mick spoke to
Dr Rocco Longo to learn more.
