The importance of monitoring temperature, humidity, and CO₂ in wineries

Temperature, humidity, and CO₂ fluctuations: a risk to wine quality

Wineries face multiple challenges at every stage of the process, from fermentation to storage. Temperature must remain stable between 12°C y 15°C, while relative humidity should range between 75% and 85%. Deviations from these parameters can directly affect the ageing process, cause excessive evaporation, and damage barrels.

For fortified wines, such as those from Jerez, precise control of temperature and humidity is essential to preserve the velo de flor and prevent oxidation. Even small variations can disrupt this unique process, compromising the wine’s quality and final profile.

Borea is specifically designed to address these challenges. With advanced wireless sensors and the .torsacloud, platform, you can monitor temperature, humidity, and CO₂ in real time across all areas of your winery, ensuring a controlled environment and optimising wine preservation.
