Controlled Natural Wine Fermentation
Monitor the invisible and reproduce the profile of each harvest
For wineries and wine producers seeking greater observability in long, spontaneous fermentations, NFB records dissolved O₂, density, temperature and pH to reduce risks and accumulate knowledge.
Wine fermentation is long, variable and difficult to anticipate
- Natural or spontaneous fermentations can deviate without warning.
- Dissolved oxygen, density and temperature change at critical hours.
- The lack of continuous data makes it difficult to compare vintages and styles.
- Deciding when fermentation ends depends on specific sampling.
- Little verifiable documentation for buyers or designations of origin.
- General solutions are not intended for special fermentations.
Nebula measures, records and certifies
- Continuous monitoring of dissolved O₂, density, temperature and pH.
- Historical record of each fermentation to compare harvests and protocols.
- Greater confidence in deciding critical points in the process.
- Objective data for natural wine, carbonic maceration and inoculated.
- Reproducible protocols between crops and tanks.
- OriginBlok® Certified with audited evidence of origin and process.
