education on a wider scale (i.e.,
regional filtration seminars)?
Crowe: Some people are moving away from filtration while
others are embracing things
like cross flow. Like everything in winemaking, we're
all different! We can always
learn something new, and my
aim is to continually improve
my wines and winemaking. Anything to help that is
worthwhile.
Thompson: I believe
winemakers in general have
embraced filtration, especially
since the Brettanomyces heyday of the late '90s. The capital required for more sophisticated forms of filtration such
as cross flow is prohibitive
for many small producers, but
contract filtration is available.
Additionally, our regional
Bucher representative already
runs seminars aimed at getting
the most out of the cross
flow and general best practice.
Jones: Yes, I think winemakers are open to new ideas
in filtration, and education
through seminars is a good
idea.
Large: Yes, I think we are.
Although it may take a few
years of trial work before we
feel 100% confident, I think
with the increasing pressure
on cost savings and competition through quality of wines,
winemakers are looking for
that competitive advantage
and if better filtration technology is out there, then we will
go looking for it.
