What do we mean with Oxygen
Management in the Winery?
Being able to deliver the right amount of oxygen
in a measurable and reproducible way
at each step of the winemaking process in order to
meet the winemaker intention and the consumer expectations
Is Oxygen Management
Important?

NOMASense™ Analyser
Use of the NomaSense analyzer
system improves the winemaker’s
ability to precisely measure and
control the presence of oxygen
throughout winemaking and
bottling, ensuring consistent wine
quality, ncreased shelf life, and
optimal closure performance.

Correlation of Oxygen and drop in
Free SO2
In theory, consumption of 1 ppm O2 is linked with a decrease of 4
ppm FSO2 Ratio ΔSO2 / ΔO2 = 4
In practise – 1 ppm O2 leads to loss of 2-3 ppm SO2

NOMASelector™ Software
NomaSelector software is
designed to assist winemakers in
identifying the optimal closure for
each wine based on answers
provided to a series of questions
about the varietal, vintage,
winemaking style, bottling and
shelf life requirements.
