Wine sensory assessment
To discuss your needs
Detect the subtle; deliver the exceptional
Subtle flaws in aroma, taste, or appearance can go unnoticed without expert sensory assessment, yet they can compromise wine quality, consumer perception, and brand reputation. Many wineries struggle to detect these issues early, leading to inconsistent product and costly corrective actions.
Our expert sensory panel delivers a thorough and impartial evaluation of colour, aroma, flavour, and overall quality – guided by the renowned WSET systematic approach used for wines, beers, and spirits. Beyond just tasting, we assess commercial acceptability and expertly detect any taints or faults, helping you ensure your products consistently meet the highest standards. In addition, we can benchmark wines against reference wine styles and other wines in the marketplace.
