Vinification schedule and logbook
How do you ensure a good balance in your wine?
Wine is truly enjoyable when it's well-balanced. Imagine a wine enthusiast ordering a glass of white wine on a sunny terrace. When the wine arrives, it's not quite at the right temperature – a common mistake – so you ask the waiter for an ice cube to correct the temperature. You can imagine the rest: once the ice has melted, the wine is no longer enjoyable... because it's out of balance.
The same principle applies to vinification. But how do you ensure good balance in your wine? The key is having a solid foundation and precise control of the vinification process, which is often underestimated.
If you want to make wine, you have to plan
When making wine, planning is essential. You need to know the direction you want to take – and stick to it meticulously. Therefore, it is important to create a clear vinification schedule. This schedule outlines every step you will take throughout the entire process. By doing so, you develop a plan that takes into account all the details (additions, temperatures, botrytis, etc.)
Measuring is knowing, knowing is correcting
Vinification schedules are indispensable, and the more detailed, the better. Remember that every step you take will contribute to the quality of your wine. Measuring is knowing, knowing is correcting. That's what it's all about. Separate vinification schedules exist for white, red, and rosé wines.

Rely on the vinification schedules! Proper and controlled monitoring of each step in the vinification process will guarantee you a delicious glass of wine. Of course, you're free to skip certain steps based on your personal approach or the evolution of your wine.
Keep a logbook
It's advisable to record all actions, measurements, additions, and other procedures in a logbook throughout the entire process. This way, if something goes wrong, you can refer back to your logbook for clarification on the possible cause of the problem. Even when no problems arise, your logbook is invaluable. For a successful wine, your logbook can serve as a guide to create something equally delicious in the next season.
