Our LAFFORT® USA team was thrilled to join researchers, winemakers, and industry leaders to learn about the latest advances in enology, exchange ideas, and connect with the brilliant minds helping shape the future of wine at the 2026 ASEV Conference!

We're especially proud to have contributed to the conversation by presenting our research poster on the biomodulation of acidity by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts—highlighting innovative approaches to naturally managing wine acidity through fermentation.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to discuss our work, share insights, and make this year's conference such a rewarding experience. We're excited to continue turning research into practical solutions that help winemakers produce exceptional wines.

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind for the LAFFORT® USA team! From our East Coast Rendezvous series to visits up and down California’s Central Valley, we’ve been out on the road talking all things wine analysis, the mechanics of enzymes, and how dramatically different wines can be crafted from the exact same fruit.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us along the way — the conversations, tastings, and shared passion for winemaking made every stop worthwhile. We love getting the chance to connect with winemakers, exchange ideas, and dive deeper into the science behind great wines.

East Coast, Central Valley… where to next?

Good morning, winemakers! Did you know that LAFFORT® has a blog full of useful articles to help you deal with all sorts of winemaking concerns?
Our latest breaks down why pinking happens, which wines are most at risk, and what winemakers can do to prevent it before it becomes a problem. Unexpected pink hues in white wines can be real headache — especially when they show up after bottling. “Pinking” is one of those subtle but important stability issues that can catch even careful winemakers off guard. A quick, practical read for anyone getting white wines ready for bottling this season.

What a week!

The 2026 LAFFORT® Rendezvous seminars were an incredible success, and we’ve headed home inspired after an amazing week across the West Coast connecting with so many passionate winemakers.

From insightful discussions on acidity biomodulation, fermentation tannins, and palate mapping, to sharing wines, ideas, and conversations with the people who make this industry so special — thank you to everyone who joined us along the way.

And while the seminars were the highlight, we’d be lying if we said the LAFFORT® team didn’t manage to squeeze in a little (okay, a lot of) fun during our travels too. Great wines, great people, long drives, late dinners, plenty of laughs, and memories we won’t forget anytime soon.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and made this year’s Rendezvous one for the books. Until next time! 🍇
