What is a Oenologists?
Oenologists are the professionals who supervise not only production in the winery but also the storage, analysis, preservation, bottling and sale of wine. Without an oenologist there is no wine, although…there could be without a sommelier.
It is not unusual for professionals, before becoming responsible for a wine, to have carried out internships in large international wineries in France (Pétrus or Domaine de la Romanée-Conti), Australia (Clarendon Hills, Penfolds), the USA (Robert Mondavi, Kistler) or South Africa (Jordan).
This is just an example.
As occurred with the sommelier profession, the training that is being given is of the very highest level and impressive results are starting to be seen in this field.
It is worth mentioning that there is a university Master’s Degree in Oenology consists of four years of study accessed after graduating in Biology, Pharmaceutics, Virology, Agronomical Engineering, Chemistry or Technical Agricultural Engineering or directly (without previous university studies.)
The objectives of these studies are to “provide adequate scientific training in the methods and techniques of vine cultivation, the production of wine, grape must and other vine derivatives, analysis and storage of the products, and their management and preservation.”
This Master’s Degree can be studied at the prestigious Universities. All of which enjoy international prestige.
As you can see, the access to these studies ensures that our wines are of the maximum possible quality and are on the cutting edge of technology, all to guarantee the maximum quality to the customer, allowing them to fully enjoy wines.

- Inventory the collection using software such as CellarTracker, or simply into a neat and practical Google Doc or Excel spreadsheet, with data such as tasting notes, wine scores, ideal aging and drinking window, and information about vintage quality, to assist with daily selections even before you enter your cellar;
- Maintain your collection and the inventory on an ongoing basis, by assisting with new purchases, by tracking consumed bottles and taking note of your preferences as they evolve.
