The Australian geographical indication process

Abstract

The first white settlers arrived in Australia in 1788 and brought grape vine cuttings with them. As migration to Australia continued to grow during the XIX Century more and more vine cuttings, viticulturists and winemakers from Britain, France, Germany, ltaly, Switzerland and Yugoslavia founded their businesses. Firstly, in the State of New South Wales (N.S.W.) and then in the States of South Australia (S.A.), Victoria (VIC), Western Australia (W.A.), Tasma­nia (TAS) and Queensland (Q’land).
Phylloxera and the 1914-18 and 1939-45 wars and their aftermaths curtailed the growth of viti and viniculture, but since the second half of the XX Century growth bas been quite rapid and has continued during the 1990s.

HRATA : A new sensory methodology using advantage of wine aromatic wheels

Wine is an intrinsically complex aromatic product. To formalize this aromatic diversity and the hierarchical structure of the aromas, it is common to present them in the form of a wheel of aromas. These are used for learning and communication purposes but never for the acquisition of sensory characteristics.

Control of bacterial growth in carbonic maceration winemaking through yeast inoculation

Controlling the development of the bacterial population during the winemaking process is essential for obtaining correct wines[1]. Carbonic Maceration (CM) wines are recognised as high-quality young wines. However, due to its particularities, CM winemaking implies a higher risk of bacterial growth: lower SO2 levels, enrichment of the must in nutrients, oxygen trapped between the clusters… Therefore, wines produced by CM have slightly higher volatile acidity values than those produced by the destemming/crushing method[2].
