Dried Grape Production Innovation and Adoption Program 2021-2026

This project builds on a previous program to assist dried grape producers to access and share emerging research and knowledge on production techniques to grow skills, improve productivity and keep quality high. It will provide benchmarks for production per hectare, production practices, prices received and input costs, and track overall industry productivity growth.

Fermentation management through optimal microbial consortia

An ideal fermentation for wine is short, typically lasting no longer than a week. When fermentations become protracted, the delays can have a direct effect on the scheduling of winery operations. Worst-case scenarios may see residual sugar concentrations failing to meet production specifications, resulting in time-consuming and potentially expensive remediation actions. Fermentation management is complicated by the different types of fermentation employed (alcoholic and malolatic), the mode of those fermentations (concurrent or sequential, inoculated or not), the styles of wine being made (red or white, cellar bright juice or high solids) and the composition of the fermentation substrate (high YAN or high sugar) to name a few. These choices have the potential to shape fermentation outcomes and can lead to unpredictability in both the overall duration and completeness of fermentation.

Robotics-ready AI in Viticulture

The Yield, Yamaha, UTS, Food Agility and Treasury Wine Estates have partnered to explore the opportunities presented by combining robotics, micro-climate weather services and artificial intelligence (AI) for wine grape production. This project will test the ability for field robots to observe vine growth and vine health to feed into The Yield’s Digital Playbook and AI predictions of wine grape tonnage and other harvest features throughout each growing season.

Transformative microbiological inputs for innovative winemaking

Wine is the ultimate culmination of a plethora of complex biological processes. Accordingly, most inputs (even when excluding grape must) are biologically based and include commercial yeasts, bacteria and enzymes used in processing. Classically, the development of improved biological inputs has resolved around phenotypic selection, in which organisms with improved characteristics are specifically chosen for further use or as a breeding stock. As selection relies on genetic variation, mutagenesis is often used to increase the pool of variation available. However, standard mutagenesis/selection is a random process, in which isolates with the required alteration must be identified from a background of thousands of strains. Classical strain development is therefore resource intensive, which ultimately limits the scope of research that can be undertaken.

SAWIDS Clonal mapping of Pinot Noir

This project will use DNA sequencing to develop a genetic database for commercially relevant Pinot Noir clones, to verify the clonal material held in Australian germplasm collections and source blocks (vines of known virus status and identity which are used as material for propagation). This will enable valuable commercial Pinot Noir vineyards lost in the Adelaide Hills bushfire of December 2019 to be replaced with verified, true-to-type clonal material.
