Cool-Climate White Wine Oenology (English edition) by Volker Schneider & Mark Tracey

Cool-Climate White Wine Oenology is a work dedicated to the technology and science of still white wines and base sparkling wines, primarily produced in cool climate regions such as Great Britain. This rapidly expanding wine industry is generating increasing interest in specific winemaking techniques adapted to cool climatic conditions.

The book pays particular attention to the sensory aspects of white wines, guiding the reader through all stages of the winemaking process. From the reception of the grapes on the sorting platform to the final bottling, Volker Schneider and Mark Tracey detail the measures to take and those to avoid to ensure the quality of the wine.

Emphasizing a practical and technical approach, this book also provides valuable advice for cellar work. While the fundamental scientific principles of oenology are not neglected, the book offers applicable daily recommendations based on the authors’ many years of experience in the industry.

The authors, Volker Schneider and Mark Tracey, have extensive experience in the fields of oenology and winemaking technologies. Volker Schneider, a former teacher of oenological chemistry at the University of Geisenheim in Germany, is also the founder of the consulting firm Schneider-Oenology, specializing in quality control and product development. Mark Tracey, an emeritus professor of engineering at the University of Hertfordshire, is interested in technological innovation in winemaking and collaborates with Italian producers to explore new low-volume oenological tools.

This book is intended for oenologists, wine producers, and anyone wishing to deepen their knowledge of cool-climate winemaking, whether they are professionals or informed amateurs. It provides a holistic view of one of the most fascinating areas of contemporary oenology.
