The creation of artisanal wine starts by creating a vineyard where the site is compatible with the specific grape varieties that are planted there. Once the vineyard is established, the cultivation techniques such as irrigation, pruning, and cover crops will affect the grape qualities. The harvest timing decision has a major impact on the resulting wine, and the subsequent winemaking decisions on crushing, pressing, yeast and barrel selection, as well as many other choices can result in a very particular, perhaps unique wine. A question is whether or not the wine is truly unique, and could an informed taster identify the artisan winemaker? |
