This project aims to set the foundations to establish Agave as a sustainable, versatile and climate-proof Australian crop, supporting production of a new high value spirit for domestic and global markets. Outcomes will include novel cultivation and sensor technology for agave harvest at the "sweet spot" and advanced spirit assessment technologies allied with consumer sensory testing. Product character and consistency will be optimised by holistic integration and control of the production chain, encompassing plant growth, input materials, and fermentation and distillation steps for a complete plant to bottle pipeline.

该项目旨在为龙舌兰成为一种可持续、多功能且耐气候的澳大利亚作物奠定基础，支持为国内和全球市场生产新型高价值烈酒。成果将包括在“甜蜜点”收获龙舌兰的新型栽培和传感器技术，以及与消费者感官测试相结合的先进精神评估技术。产品特性和一致性将通过生产链的整体整合和控制来优化，包括植物生长，投入材料，发酵和蒸馏步骤，以实现完整的工厂到瓶子管道。
