Viticulture in Arizona

• Viticulture is the branch of science that deals

  is a subdivision of horticulture. The place,
  where grapes are grown, is known as a vineyard,

• The viticulturists are responsible for monitoring
  and evaluating the crops for insects and pests,
  crop management, irrigation practices,
  fertilizing and harvesting. Usually, the
  viticulturists are closely involved with the
  winemaking team as they can truly guide the later
  with various timelines in the process.

• Climate is the most important and deciding factor
  for growing good quality grapes for wine making.
  Summers are ideal for ripening of the fruit
  whereas ideal winters act as a resting phase for
  the grapevine.

Arizona Wine

• The Arizona Wine is made up of grapes that are
  grown in the state of Arizona itself. The process
  is of two types, which leads to the making of two
  types of wines- sparkling and still wine. The
  still wine is prepared without inducing the
  process of carbonation and the wine thus produced
  free of any carbon content. Whereas, the
  sparkling wine gets its sparkle from the process
  of carbonation, which is either injected or is
  produced naturally.

Process of Winemaking

• The process of wine making is more of a natural
  science and can be divided into the following
  steps
• Harvesting The grapes are either plucked
  manually or mechanically using big tractors. This
  is decided depending on the size of the vineyard
  and the time available for harvesting the fruits.

• Crushing and fermentation Tiny berries are
  gently squeezed to peel them off, and the
  contents are then extracted out. The extracts
  thus produced are then fermented using cultured
  yeast to produce alcohol.

• Pressing The process of pressing is done to
  separate the juice so produced from the skin peel
  of grapes.
• Cold Stabilization This is done to separate the
  tartrate crystals produced from the wine. If, not
  done properly, these crystals may appear as
  grains of sand in the wine.

• Secondary Fermentation Bulk Ageing Very slow
  fermentation continuing for a period of around
