Flash Détente is particularly beneficial when winemakers are dealing with challenges in their grape harvests. When grapes are under-ripe, affected by mold, Botrytis, laccase, have undesirable flavors, or smoke taint, Flash Détente can be a game-changer.  Additionally, when winemakers face challenges with poor color and tannin extraction or low Brix levels, this technique can be an invaluable tool. It’s not just for problematic harvests though; many winemakers use Flash Détente proactively to achieve specific winemaking goals and to consistently elevate the quality of their wines.
