  • Learning & Teaching Activities
    Learning & Teaching Modes
    This course has a strong practical nature that provides students with hands-on winemaking experience over the vintage period. Leactures, tutorial and practical classes are the main course components. Seminars presented by industry experts are also incorporated.

    During the course, students will be grouped to produce one red wines and a white juice, each from 700 kg of fruit, in the Hickinbotham Roseworthy Wine Science Laboratory on the Waite Campus, under supervision. Students may also have chances to participate in grape harvesting, sampling, processing, and various class tastings which demonstrate wine sensory characteristics associated with key winemaking procedures. The course introduces students to the planning and managing of winemaking strategies, and importantly, complements the theory covered in the other wine technology courses specific to table wine production.

    Students will work in small groups (maximum 4 students) to prepare white juice (for future vinification in the Semester 2 course Fermentation Technology) and red wine. All decisions concerning the proposed red wine style and the processes required for its achievement will be made collaboratively and following discussion with academic staff. Practical introductions to winemaking equipment in the Wine Science Laboratory will include competence-based assessment. Students will work in groups throughout the winemaking process; finished wines will be presented to the entire class in a structured seminar that includes sensory evaluation of the wine and analysis of the decisions and actions taken at each stage in the conversion of grapes to wine.

      Lectures, seminars and demonstrations have been arranged to complement the practical nature of this subject.


    Workload

    The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

    A student enrolled in a 3 unit course should expect to spend, on average 12 hours per week on the studies required.
    Learning Activities Summary
    LECTURE TIME AND LOCATION The course has been allocated substantial time blocks each week.

    Specific Course Requirements

    INFORMATION RELATING TO SAFETY MATTERS, GRAPE SAMPLING AND TRAVEL, GRAPE-PICKING AND PROCESSING.

    Report all injuries, however trivial, immediately to the person in charge so that appropriate action may be taken and reports made. Injuries may be treated by local area First Aid or if by calling an Ambulance (0-000). Fill out an injury report form, obtainable from UTU, for all incidents.

    The following members of staff are trained in first aid: Jill Bauer

    SAFETY MATTERS

    Student groups and/or individuals who require access to vineyards for sampling/ harvesting and WSL Laboratory and Cellar must make the necessary booking(s) with academic staff.

    While working in vineyards, students are reminded of the need to protect themselves from the sun (hats, sunscreen etc.).

    Students working in laboratories must wear laboratory coats. Students are to provide their own laboratory safety glasses.

    Students working in the winery cellar must wear protective clothing at all times - overalls, boots and hard hats (in designated areas only). Open footwear is prohibited from the winery floor and laboratories. Loose clothing is not acceptable.

    THE USE OF LABORATORY GLASSWARE IS NOT PERMITTED IN THE WINERY CELLAR.

    Winery vessels used for juice/wine storage and fermentation must be clearly labelled with juice/wine ID. This must be done with tags and removable tape. Under no circumstances should such vessels be directly written upon.

    STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE THEIR OWN CARS TO THE VINEYARDS

    Sample bags, marking pens, esky’s, cleaning and drinking water will be made available.

    Student groups sourcing fruit from the Waite Vineyard must first report to the staff member on duty at the WSL Laboratory, collect sample bags and esky before proceeding to the Waite Vineyard.

    In most cases, the WSL laboratory will be available to students for analyses of grape samples immediately following their return from the vineyards.

    Grape picking and processing

    Following approval from lecturer-in-charge, respective student groups must agree on only one time (a 4 to 5 hour period) for the picking operation. This is necessary to ensure the availability of supervising staff and transport.

    The processing of the harvested fruit must be pre -booked to ensure access to the WSL cellar and laboratory.

    SAFETY DATA SHEETS

    Safety data sheets (SDS’s) are available for all major hazardous substances used in winemaking. SDS data sheets have been included in the Cellar Safety Manual and should be studied. Note that SDS’s contain information on the properties of a substance, health hazard information, precautions for use and first aid information. Students using substances for the first time should get into the habit of referring to the appropriate data sheet(s) prior to use. SDS’s have also been made available in the laboratories and cellar for your reference.
    Small Group Discovery Experience
    This course does not incorporate SGDE.

    ASSESSMENT DETAILS

    Red winemaking proposal and presentation (Group mark, formative) Each student group is required to submit a winemaking proposal for presentation. The proposal should be of no more than 5 slides and describe how the group intends to produce the desired style from the grapes provided.

    Information that should be included:Background to Fruit and vineyard; Fruit parameters (ideal or actual) - TA, pH, Baumé, Flavour characteristics; Winemaking steps (flow chart); SO2 regime; Crushing; Fermentation vessel; Yeast and temperature (fermentation rate) ; Cap management; Pressing options; Yeast nutrition; Oak treatment. References must be included.

    Proposals must be submitted to Paul Grbin via email by 5:00 PM on the date indicated in the Course Handbook. A representative from each group will present that proposal on the final Friday of the pre-Semester session. Each presentation should be no longer than 5 minutes. 5 minutes will be allocated for discussion. Attendance by all group members is compulsory and members should be prepared to participate in discussions.

    WHS exam (Individual Mark, 10%) A 1 hour, short answer written exam based on Work Health and Safety principles and legislation as presented in lectures.

    Red winemaking final presentation (Group mark, 10%) Each student group is required to submit a presentation of their final wine. The presentation should go for no more than 15 minutes and describe the required style, vinification steps taken to produce the final product, a clear discussion about any vinification difficulties and clear logical solutions to any production faults. All groups must submit their presentations to Paul Grbin via email by 5:00 PM on the date indicated in the Course Handbook. Each group will present on the date indicated in the Course Handbook. Groups will be allocated a time randomly on the day. Attendance by all group members is compulsory and members should prepare to participate in their presentation and discussions.

    Diary and record keeping (Individual Mark, 20% + Group Mark 5% InnoVint Records) The Diary is a key element in this course. Each student must submit a personal diary divided into sections, one for the white juice and red wine production activities, plus all tasting notes from formal tasting classes.
    In chronological order, the diary is to contain details of the student’s individual participation/contribution in vineyard, laboratory and cellar operations, including calculations, analytical results and tasting notes. Personal diaries and fermentation record keeping will be randomly inspected by academic staff throughout the semester. All record keeping is undertaken via Diary and Innovint. Each group will be expected to maintain all winemaking records via InnoVint, a computer-based data management system. These records are to be kept up-to-date with all maturity samples, picking and processing actions, additions (e.g. SO2, enzymes, tartaric acid, yeast, bacteria, finings etc) analysis, juice or wine movements. The InnoVint system will also be used to generate work orders to outline major activities that need to be undertaken. Students are also are supplied with a clipboard with blank fermentation templates to keep real-time fermentation curves. Groups are required to update these all records daily. Updated fermentation records will be required for all meetings with academic staff. Fermentation record keeping and InnoVint records will be randomly inspected by academic staff throughout the semester.

    Practical Exam (Individual Mark 15%) A 15-minute practical exam will test each student’s knowledge of three different pieces of winery equipment and/or winery process. Individuals will be asked to spend 5 minutes using and discussing each randomly selected piece of equipment or process.


    Final Exam (40%) A 2 hour final summative exam will be given at the end of the semester to ensure cumulative knowledge of all course material (lectures, and practicals). Due to the practical and industry focussed nature of this course, students must achieve at least 50% of the available marks in the final exam to pass the course. This is to ensure mastery of core discipline elements relevant to professional practice.
    Submission
    Late submission of assessments

    If an extension is not applied for, or not granted then a penalty for late submission will apply. A penalty of 10% of the value of the assignment for each calendar day that is late (i.e. weekends count as 2 days), up to a maximum of 50% of the available marks will be applied. This means that an assignment that is 5 days or more late without an approved extension can only receive a maximum of 50% of the mark.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
