Starting Thursday, 9 July, Dr Richard Gawel from the AWRI takes a look at dissolved carbon dioxide and its impact on the taste, flavour, and textural properties of still white and red wines. The remaining five webinars will run through to mid-August and address glutathione additions, remediation options for smoke-affected juice or wine, under-vine cover cropping, an update from Sustainable Winegrowing Australia and self-driving tractors.
Each webinar will include a presentation and an opportunity for audience members to ask questions. Sessions are held on Thursdays at 11:30 am in SA, 12 noon in the eastern states and 10 am in WA.
