Objectives

Understand the technical and scientific principles that rules the production of grape and wine processing;
Understand the natural and technological factors which affect the characteristics of the grapes;  
Conceive, plan and manage the different wine-growing and oenological practices according the predefined characteristics of the final product;

Learning outcomes and competences

To know physiochemical composition of grapes and then define the type of wine to produce, what processes and materials to be used. 

Know and apply the principles of management of a vineyard along its vegetative cycle (pruning, soil maintenance, canopy management, diseases and pests, planting of the vineyard)

Working method

Presencial

Program

Acquire knowledge of viticulture and wine production, namely:
1-    The vegetative Cycle of the vine.
2-    Establishment of a vineyard (implantation systems, selection of materials, training systems).
3-    Training of vines (winter pruning and canopy management).
4-    Wine Technology.  
5-    Knowledge of the technique of wine tasting.

Eligibility for exams

Terms of frequency: Loses the frequency the student who miss more than a quarter of practical classes, or does not perform satisfactorily two thirds of the work of a laboratory

Calculation formula of final grade

Formula Evaluation: The final grade will result from the sum of the evaluation obtained in theoretical and practical components: the theoretical component, 85%, (written test), the practical part with weight of 15%, (reports (15%)
The approval in the discipline is subject to obtaining a FINAL NOTE  = 9.5 values and minimum rating 8.0 values in all components.:
