V Foundation Wine Celebration

The American Vineyard Foundation (AVF) is dedicated to advancing enology research, focusing on critical aspects of wine production, including the formation of volatile sulfur compounds in Pinot Noir. Their project investigates the effects of lees levels and contact time on these compounds, contributing valuable insights into wine fermentation and aging processes. Under the leadership of researchers such as Dr. James P. Osborne and Michael Qian, the AVF conducts rigorous studies that analyze various yeast strains and their impact on wine quality. By collaborating with industry partners and utilizing both experimental and industrial samples, the foundation addresses challenges faced by winemakers, including managing fermentation-related sulfur compounds.
