The broadly defined project goal is to test the viability of Sambucus for use in the regional wine industry of Florida. Hyldemoer + Co., LLC will pursue this goal through three key objectives: 1) Evaluation of enological factors and vinification techniques to optimize elder winemaking processes; 2) Standardization of benchmarks for the nutraceutical value of the farm products before and after conversion to wine; 3) Development of outreach communications from documented organic cultivation and postharvest processing activities for the crop in Florida.
