Postgraduate certificate Production of Specialty Wines

Special wines are distinguished by their grape and, in some cases, by the elaboration processes they undergo. Among their varieties are identified fortified, sweet, generous, liqueur wines and many other variants that undergo various interventions in their distillation process, fermentation and even the climatic conditions under which their fruit has developed. Given the strong competition in this sector and the exponential increase in consumption by wine fanatics, the industry strives to distinguish itself, to reduce costs and, above all, to provide quality and improvements to the final product. For this reason, TECH has developed a 100% online course that delves into wine varieties in order to update the knowledge of engineering graduates who wish to join this sector or those professionals who are already working in it.

Postgraduate Certificate in Production of Specialty Wines

Specialty winemaking refers to the production of wines with unique and distinctive characteristics. This may include the use of special techniques and processes, different grape varieties and careful selection and blending of grapes, as well as the implementation of a careful and detailed winemaking process.The process of making specialty wines can vary depending on the type of wine you want to produce.

General processes used in the elaboration of some of the wines.

Sparkling wines: The process of making sparkling wines, such as champagne, involves a second fermentation in bottle. After the first fermentation and bottling, a mixture of sugar and yeast is added to each bottle before sealing. Dessert wines: Dessert wines are produced from grapes harvested when they are very ripe, which gives them a high level of natural sugar. The fermentation process is stopped to preserve the sugar level and brandy is added to increase the alcohol content. Red wines: Red winemaking involves fermenting the grapes with the skins and seeds, which adds color and flavor to the wines. This process also involves careful selection and blending of grape varieties to create a complex and distinctive flavor profile. White Wines: Unlike red wines, white wines are produced by fermenting only the grape juice without the skin or seeds. This gives it a clean and fresh flavor profile. In addition, special techniques, such as barrel fermentation, can be added to add additional flavors. To make specialty wines, a combination of experience, technical knowledge and tasting and sampling skills is required. Winemakers and sommeliers are professionals who specialize in winemaking and tasting, and finding a trusted winemaker or sommelier can be a great help in the process of making specialty wines."
