Blending to improve wines is more of an art than a science, but believe it or not there is actually a scientific approach to it. Experts with Enartis USA will provide hints on how to blend wine for success.
Through a seminar or a custom blending experience, the blending lab is the most exclusive experience Enartis USA will be hosting at the IBWSS.
Once you have your blend finalized, you will be guided through different products that work best on your wine to improve the aroma profile, color, texture, body and finish; making it a more well-rounded and complex wine. To complete the experience, Enartis along with IBWSS will put together a panel of wine judges that will give you a complete description of your wine’s aromatic profile and mouthfeel that you can use for your label!
