Apple wine ("Cider")

Apple wine could be an interesting niche product for South Tyrol. In order to optimize its product sound, trials to different yeast strains, but also to new production processes such as bottling fermentation. Here the state of alcoholic fermentation is checked.

Distillation

The distillation is a thermal separation method to separate two or more fabrics in a liquid mixture and then to be absorbed by condensation. One of the most famous distillates is the grappa (brandy) obtained by distillation of the fermented alcoholic press residues ("pomace").

Measurement of the pH value

During alcoholic fermentation, the pH must be constantly monitored. Desired is a slightly acidic pH, as this ensures better microbioligic stability.

Automatic micro-brewing unit

Beer is obtained by maceration starchy grain such as barley and subsequent alcoholic fermentation using various yeast strains. The aim of the test activity of the working group "Fermentation and Distillation" is to develop and improve processing protocols for beer production.

Malt is not malt

Among other things, the experts examine which paintings are best suited to brewing.

Fermented products

In fermentation, organic substances are converted into acid, gases or alcohol. This conversion process can be done either by adding bacterial, fungal or other biological cell cultures or by the addition of enzymes (fermentes). Alcoholic fermentation takes place from a sugary-containing must by the addition of yeast and is used to make alcoholic drinks such as wine, cider or beer. In lactic acid fermentation, bacteria build glucose to lactic acid. In this way, sour milk messages such. B. yoghurt produces.

Fryer plum fifth meat

The pulp is intended for the distillation for the production of spirits. At fermentation two different yeast strains were used. In this experiment, the aroma profiles of the two produced thereof are analyzed. & Nbsp;

Foam wine production in the autoclave

According to the Charmat method (IT. Metodo Martinotti), a second fermentation is performed in this pressure-resistant container through which the wines receives fruity notes. The method patented in 1895 is today standard in foam wine production.

Darring plant for the production of special maltes

Malzer is made from bridgering malz. The brewing rope is first moistened with water (soft), whereupon it germs. Thereafter, the sprouted green malt is dried (darren), whereby color and flavorings form in the grain. By means of various malting methods, various bra palms can be made, which in turn can be used to produce different beers. Through different heavily resisted Braum salts create bright to dark beers. With this system, special maltes such as caramel malt or chocolate malt are made. These are used to round off the powerful beer taste, to give the beer more body and aroma.

Fermentation Red wine

In the green glass balloons with large opening ferment the red wines. After the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the red wines are converted into glass balloons with small opening or in 100 l containers.

mixing

During the fermentation, the petrol (press residues) are mixed manually in the most. This broke the so-called "trester hat", promoting ventilation and fermenting fermentation.

Regulation of the fermentation temperature

A probe measures the temperature in the glass balloon. If the internal temperature does not correspond to the desired value, water is passed into the ring around the glass balloon. The water drains down on the surface of the balloon and cools or heats the wine inside.

Bottleneck

Wide necks are necessary to pour mixtures with larger components (mash at red wine) into the glass balloons and remove it again.

Plant for temperature regulation

During the fermentation, the glass balloons are connected to a solenoid valve system. The temperature is preset and monitored using probes in the glass balloons. The temperature regulation is automatically via the solenoid valves, which can be controlled by the inlet of hot or cold water on the outer wall of the glass balloons.

Steel fermentation tank

Tresterhut

Solid, made of nuclei, shells and stems consisting of layer, which rises to the surface of the Mosts during alcoholic fermentation

Two phases

During red wine fermentation, two phases form: top of the so-called "TRESTERHUT", below the liquid phase.

The white wines ferment in transparent glass balloons.

Most

The Most is added dry yeast to favor the alcoholic fermentation.

Fermentation

Dodge carbon dioxide and prevents air from flowing in, resulting in oxidation.

White winegreen

In contrast to the red wine, white wine is not fermented on the mash. Therefore, only one - the liquid phase is available in white wine.

Cooling cell

to clarify and stabilize the test wines after fermentation

Electronic control system for temperature regulation

For each individual glass balloon in the fermentation cells, the desired fermentation temperature can be preset. To ensure the preset temperature, the system is connected to a probe inside the glass balloon.

Lighting and perception

In the tasting room, the lighting can be adjusted according to the purpose of tasting in different colors. For tasting of red wine is best sudden blue light, for white wine green light. In this way, the tasting persons are not influenced by the color of the product to be evaluated and releases more on the other senses.

Tasting of experimental wines

In a tasting session, either different wines are tasted and assessed taste or always the same wine, which was developed differently. Versus, the tasting personnel judge in a session between 10 and max. 18 different samples.

Defined test methods

The perceptions felt by the tailor panel are quantified and evaluated in defined test methods. This supplies food sensor to a scientific-analytical and statistically secured foundation.

The cellar master at work

Kellermeister Urban Piccolruaz regularly tastes the wines to determine the quality. To do this, he removes a sample from the barrique with a pipette.

Why are the barrels wearing a red belt?

When the cellar master removes samples from the barrels, it can come to splashes, which would be visible in particular in red wines. The hands with red color is an elegant way to deal with such small malthers.

Barrique

Oak barrel with a capacity of 225 l. The thin longitudinal lumpers (dauben) allow a reinforced oxygen exchange during wine construction. Washer barrels are max. Used for 6-8 years. During this time, the woods turn off tannins (tannins) and thus influences the wine taste.

Inscription at the entrance to the white wine cellar

"Honor the Lord out of your deepest being and your kelters will overprise of wine" (free to Sophronius Eusebius Hieronymus 347-420, one of the four church fathers of late antiques)

Tonneu

Such a barrel called "Burgunderfass" has an average capacity of 500 l. In Landesweingut Laimburg, tonne is used approx. 10,115 years.

Vernacius solemnis

In this wooden barrel from South Tyrolean oak with a capacity of 1200 l, the Vernacius solemnism is expanded. The "solemn Vernatsch" was created on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the experimental center Laimburg.

"Golden Hairtrae of the Dolasilla"

Dolasilla is a brave king's daughter from the Ladin Schlagenwelt, which protects her people, the fanes. The golden strand shown on the rock face runs to the steel column to which the bottle to be opened is set.

Rarity

Some rarity also stores in the shelves such. B. the first ice cream South Tyrol (1970/71) or the first wine developed in the Barrique (beginning of 1980s).

Wine archive

Approximately 60,000 bottles store here with a natural constant room temperature. The wine archive consists of three areas: 1. Wines of the State Wenben Laimburg; 2. Test wines; 3. Vinothek.

Showcase of the South Tyrolean wine world

On the occasion of the inauguration of the rocky cellar in 1990, the South Tyrolean windings divorced the Laimburg Laimburg, two to three of their wines as a sign that the rock cellar represents the entire wine industry of South Tyrol.

Buffet room

For events with catering, the dining are offered in this room.

Bronze wine muses (Guido Anton Must, 1941-2003)

The two ladies represent the essence of the wine. The lady to the left stands for the elegant, fresh and fine white wine, the lady to the right pushes the opulence, the ease of red wine. They are wrapped in a stylized wine leaf, which shows the outlines of South Tyrol.

Personalities

The barrels in the lower row are dedicated to personalities who have earned himself around South Tyrol and the South Tyrolean agriculture. This barrel, for example, is the South Tyrolean "state father" Silvius Magnago (1914-2010), which contributed crucial to obtaining the autonomy of South Tyrol. Also shown are personalities who visited the rock cellar, such as. B. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands (* 1938) or the former Italian President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro (1918-2012).

In addition to wine, distillates, liqueurs, most and gardening must be analyzed. An integrated software makes it possible to always determine new parameters and to carry out new calibrations to new matrices (eg cider or fruit juices).

Titrator to determine the "volatile acid"

In every wine, volatile acids are available; However, a reasonably prescribed limit may not be exceeded at any time the winemaking. There are various acids in wine; The majority makes the acetic acid. If too much acetic acid is included in the wine, one speaks of the wine error "estersque". This is noticeable by a penetrant thrilling smell and possible taste changes.

Amino acid analyzer

In the wine, various proteins include a neuris free amino acids. Amino acids make up 25 to 30% of the total nitrogen in the MOST. Yeast cells use amino acids as a source for ammonia nitrogen or as a source of organic carbon. The nitrogen affects various parameters and thus the quality of the wine.

Wine expansion in the Amphore

In Georgia, the cradle of viticulture, wine is traditionally expanded in the Amphore. In order to test the wine expansion in the Amphore with South Tyrolean wines, this amphora is used from screed mortar (Cocciopesto) with a capacity of 10 hl. At the moment a "Riesling X Sylvaner) is expanded.

So the stone comes in the wine

This show barrique shows it: if & nbsp; Naturally combined minerals such as potassium or calcium contained in wine such as potassium or calcium with tartaric acid arises. These tartrates crystallize and store them during fermentation and maturation in a barrel. The presence of Weinstein is neither a mistake of the wine nor a quality feature.

Open fireplace

Usually serves as additional room ventilation

Bring the character of the grape in the glass!

This motto of the national wine is being implemented here: The clear vineyard white wines receive their typical charm in large wooden barrels, because the strong contours of the grape varieties are attenuated. A & NBSP; Sauvignon, for example, which has many green notes and a present bouquet, gets new flavors here (exotic: Maracuja) and thus becomes softer in the palate.

Why was the rock cellar built?

In the 1980s, the State Weingut Laimburg needed additional space & Nbsp; For the storage of barrels and wine bottles. It offered an extension in the adjacent Mitterberg. In the years 1989 to 1990, around 4,000 mps were blown up by 5,000 kg of dynamite from the red porphyr rock of the Mitterberg. This resulted in a barriquefass cellar and a bottle cellar in just 140 working days. In addition, a 300 m - large arched hall was created. To accommodate further wooden barrels, the rock cellar 2001 and 2004 has been extended by two studs (6,000 m³).

The cycle of wine tasting

The relief of the Slovenian artist Oliver Marčeta illustrates the effect of wine: tensions are dissolved, shyness is dwindling, ease arises to exuberance and even lasciviousness.

Wine expansion

In the smaller barrique (225 l), the stertiary aromas (eg vanilla / butternotes at Chardonnay; tobacco, chocolate, leather notes in red wine) are created by the loves. In the larger tonneau (500 l), the contact with the laths is less strong. This forms less tertiary aromas and the fruit flavors are strongly present.

Upswing age craftsmanship

Through the increasing expansion of wines in the wooden barrel also have old wooden fiber productions such as the & Nbsp; Family company Mittelberger in Frangart got new power again and could maintain and develop the old craft.

Ventilation

The temperature in the rock cellar is constant. In the basement, natural air circulates. When it gets too cold, & nbsp; Warm air can be supplied via the tubes.

Rehearsal room

The 300 m2 main hall is representation room of the land of South Tyrol. He is used for events that serve to promote wine culture and the presentation of South Tyrol as a wine country.

Archaeological finds

The place "Laimburg" has been populated for about 3,000 years. This shows archaeological finds: a necropolis (grave field) from the Iron Age (850-15 BC), bronze feverish, a radical house. In addition, one of the earliest evidence of viticulture in South Tyrol was discovered: 2,400 years old grape seeds. Other finds come from the Middle Ages, z. B. remains of crowns or animal bones.

Storage in the barrique

15, more months, the dark, tanned-fueled red wines store in the barrique. During this time, the maturation and refinement of the wines takes place: the tannins change and become soft, round and velvety. The oak wood gives lows ("tannins") to the wine. Thereby & nbsp; In addition, the fragrance and taste spectrum of the wine is changing: there are additional smoky, balsamic and vanilla-reminiscent fragrances.

"Riserva"

Additional designation for quality wines that have longer aging than the corresponding wines without the addition. In addition, there are usually additional specifications on the type of storage.

White wine cellar

The white wine cellar was created between 2004 and 2005 for storage and expansion of wines, especially in the large wooden barrel.

Grand barrels from French oak

In the oak barrels with a capacity of 22 to 38 hl tires white wines (6.co8 months) and red wines (12 months) of the production line "Gutsweine".

Pyramid barrels

In fermentation of wine, yeast stores at the bottom of the barrel. Does this yeast influence body, structure and smell of the wine? This question is comparatively examined on the basis of the two oval barrels. When the barrel right (tip below) is the surface (and thus the proportion of yeast, which comes in contact with the wine) lower than the barrel left (tip top).

Controlled fermentation

For a constant fermentation of the wine, the temperature is important above all. Über a sophisticated cooling system and other technical devices can influence the oenologists on the fermentation intensity. For red wines, this controlled fermentation is possible to optimally extract color and tannins from the berry sleeves and expand the fragrance spectrum of the wine.

Classic stainless steel tanks

The tanks consist of stainless chrome-nickel-iron molybdenum steel and have a capacity of 10 hl to 80 hl. Here the wine is stored 3 to 4 months to bottling. The maturation, however, takes place in the wooden barrel.
