El medio natural de Chile como factor de adaptación de la vid

Abstract

Chile, junto con Australia, EE.UU., Sudáfrica, Argentina y Nueva Zelanda constituye el grupo de países del nuevo mundo vitivinícola. Todos ellos en conjunto han experimentado en la última década un sostenido crecimiento en la participación del mercado internacional de vinos, destacándose en el grupo Australia, EE.UU. y Chile. En 1990, las exportaciones de Australia y EE.UU sobrepasaban levemente los US$ 100 millones, Chile representaba la mitad de esta cantidad (Cuadro 1), en cambio en 1998, los tres países presentan cifras similares, sobrepasando levemente los US$ 500 millones.
De acuerdo al diario financiero “The Economist” (1999), el conjunto de los países del nuevo mundo y en particular el de Australia, EE.UU. y Chile, se caracteriza por una industria vitivinícola muy concentrada. En efecto, sólo cuatro compañías dominan el 80% del mercado australiano, en EE.UU., las cinco más grandes tienen el 62% del mercado y en Chile, las cinco principales poseen el 50%. El crecimiento en la participación de mercado de estas compañías globales es reflejo de sus presupuestos de promoción y su habilidad para proveer grandes cantidades de vino a los supermercados. Estas empresas se han caracterizado por invertir en tecnología e innovación, lo que les permite expresar la peculiaridad de cada una de las variedades de vid, o de la mezcla que vinifica y que destacan en sus etiquetas.
En el caso particular de Chile, los primeros indicios de la reconversión de su industria vitivinícola se pueden establecer a partir del año 1986 y son consecuencia del éxito de pequeñas partidas iniciales de vinos finos destinados a los mercados externos, particularmente de Latinoamérica. En aquella época se desarrollo sólo en las principales empresas del rubro un nuevo impulso de plantaciones de variedades tintas y blancas, de probada fineza y calidad, fundamentalmente Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot (Carménère), Chardonnay y Sauvignon blanc (vert). Por el contrario, el resto de la industria se encontraba sumida en una de las más profundas crisis que ha tenido que experimentar Chile, caracterizada por una fuerte disminución de la superficie global de los viñedos.

AOC Saint-Romain, Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune, Burgundy: analysis of a “terroir”

The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the terroir of Saint-Romain, Burgundy, based on three main information sources: official data relating to vines (CVI), soil cartography and a survey of winegrowers’ practices.

IBMP-Polypenol interactions: Impact on volatility and sensory perception in model wine solution

3-Isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IBMP) is one of the key molecules in wine aroma with a bell pepper aroma and a very low threshold in wine, 1-6 ng/L for white wine and 10-16 ng/L in red wine1. The differences in these thresholds are likely due to IBMP-non volatile matrix interactions. It has indeed been shown that polyphenols may influence the volatility of flavor compounds2. In the present study, we focus on IBMP-polyphenols interactions in relation to volatility and sensory perception in model wine solution. Methods: 1. GC-MS Static Headspace Analysis: Samples were analyzed by Static headspace analysis with an Agilent 7890A gas chromatograph coupled to HP 5975C mass spectrometry detector (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA).

Vitamin content of grape musts and yeast nutrition: A review

The management of yeast nutrition is an essential approach for a better control over wine fermentation process. Most of the researches on this subject in the last decades focused on nitrogen nutrition. However, vitamins, while being key compounds for yeast metabolism as co-factors for numerous enzymatic activities, were left mostly unexplored.

Influence of two yeast strains and different nitrogen nutrition on the aromatic compounds in Lugana wine

Lugana Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) wines are made from Turbiana grapes. The aroma of Lugana wines results from the combined contribution of esters, terpenes, norisprenoids, sulfur compounds and the benzenoid methyl salicylate. This study aims to investigate how volatile aroma compounds are affected by different nitrogen supplies and yeast strains.

INSIGHTS ON THE ROLE OF GENES ON AROMA FORMATION OF WINES

Yeast secondary metabolism is a complex network of biochemical pathways and the genetic profile of the yeast carrying out the alcoholic fermentation is obviously important in the formation of the metabolites conferring specific odors to wine. The aim of the present research was to investigate the relative expression of genes involved in flavor compound production in eight different Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains.
Two commercial yeast strains Sc1 (S.cerevisiae x S.bayanus) and Sc2 (S.cerevisiae) and six indigenous S. cerevisiae strains (Sc3, Sc4, Sc5, Sc6, Sc7, Sc8) isolated during spontaneous fermentations were inoculated in Assyrtiko and Vidiano grape must.

Maturation of Agiorgitiko (Vitis vinifera) red wine on its wine lees: Impact on its phenolic composition

Maturation of wine on lees (often referred as sur lie) is a common practice applied by many winemakers around the world. In the past this method was applied mainly on white and/or sparkling wine production but recently also to red wine production. In our experiment, we matured red wine on wine lees of two origins: a) Light wine lees, collected after the completion of the alcoholic fermentation, b) Heavy lees, collected after the completion of the malolactic fermentation. The lees were free of off-odors and were added in the red wine in percentage 3% and 8%, simulating common winemaking addition. The maturation lasted in total six months and samples were collected for analysis after one, three and six months. During storage the lees were stirred.

The evolution of wine appellations in the United States

Le système des appellations d’origine aux Etats-Unis était adopté en 1978 et est entré en vigueur en 1983. Jusqu’à présent, 146 aires viticoles avaient été établies dans 26 états.
