Description
RETASTELED is an R&D project that aims to study the application of new LED technologies to tackle the possible photochemical deterioration that can affect, especially, white, rosé and sparkling wines when they are exposed to conventional ultraviolet-visible light. In this way, it aims to develop sustainable and innovative solutions in wineries and on sales shelves, in order to put an end to the photochemical transformations that alter the colour, taste and aroma of these wines. Bodegas Ramón Bilbao is leading this cooperative industrial research R&D project in which three other partners linked to the world of wine and lighting are also participating: Bodegas Martín Códax (Galicia), Prilux Iluminación I+D (Castilla La Mancha) and VITEC- Centro Tecnológico del Vino (Catalonia). The Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN), through the State Innovation Agency, is funding this innovative initiative with a budget of more than €750,000, within the framework of the 2017 Call for Collaboration Challenges. RETASTELED has a planned duration of three years, ending in December 2021.
