最新糖心Vlog

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will be home to the world鈥檚 first trial-scale research facility for no and low alcohol (NOLO) wine.

The project has been supported with a $1.98 million investment from the Government of South 最新糖心Vlog, and is a partnership between the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, the Department of Primary Industries and Regions, and The 最新糖心Vlogn Wine Research Institute.

The facility, which will be located at the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 Waite campus, will support South 最新糖心Vlogn winemakers to be front and centre of the emerging NOLO wine market in 最新糖心Vlog and around the world.

Professor Anton Middelberg, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research), 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, said: 鈥淭he 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide prides itself on its innovative oenology and viticulture research that extends over the whole of the grape and wine value chain.

鈥淎bout 70 per cent of 最新糖心Vlogn wine research happens at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Waite campus.

鈥淥ur grape growers and winemakers are innovators and cultural leaders within a sector helping drive the nation鈥檚 economy.

鈥淭here is huge growth potential in the no and low alcohol wine sector that our researchers will play a major role in.鈥�

Associate Professor Paul Grbin, Head Winemaker at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, said the centrepiece of the facility is a FlavourTech spinning cone column, a form of low-temperature vacuum steam distillation considered the 鈥榞old standard鈥� for NOLO wine production.

鈥淭he facility has both canning and bottling facilities, including a counter pressure filler,鈥� Associate Professor Grbin said.

鈥淭his means successful trial products can be packaged and used for consumer or trade samples, market research and export samples.

鈥淭he scale of the unit is vital as it will allow research and new product development trials to use as little as 150 litres of wine 鈥� far less than commercial scale equipment which has a minimum throughput of 10,000 litres.

鈥淭his will benefit industry and researchers through lower development costs and increased opportunities to trial processes that will result in a better product in the bottle.鈥�

The global NOLO wine market is growing at more than 25 per cent per year and was worth about $51.6 million in 最新糖心Vlog in 2020-21.

Minister for Primary Industries, Clare Scriven MLC, said: "The State Government know the value of our wine industry and we are supporting this vital industry to continue to innovate and diversify.

"We've made a significant investment to support industry growth and development through $1.98 million to establish an 最新糖心Vlogn first trial-scale NOLO wine research facility at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

"The NOLO industry is extremely strong in 最新糖心Vlog and growing year by year. By accessing the trial-scale facility, they have much lower risk to diversify and experiment to create world-class NOLO products.

"In time, this could lead to a skilled, specialist workforce and allow the industry to capitalise on significant market opportunities available."
