Mining terroir influence on bioactive polyphenols from grape stems: A correlation-network-driven approach to spatialize metabolomics data

Abstract

In viticulture, the concept of terroir is often used to enlighten the environmental-based typicity of grapevines grown in a local area however its scientific basis remains under debate. Grape polyphenols as key player of the plant defense system enables adaptation to environmental changes and so far, form a unique metabolic component to investigate the terroir influence. Using correlation-based networks and spatial metabolomics we investigated how continuous changes of soil properties may impact the polyphenol composition within a single grape clone. In a vineyard parcel covering four different geological layers and planted with a unique clone of Cabernet Franc, the soil texture was analyzed at 30 georeferenced points with a spatial coverage sampling strategy. Grape stems were harvested at corresponding positions over 3 consecutive years followed by UPLC-DAD-MS-based metabolomic analysis targeted on 43 metabolites including flavonoids, phenolic acids, procyanidins and stilbenoids. Principal component analyses on intra-vintage data presented good reproducibility. A correlation-driven approach was used to select co-varying metabolites before using Geographic Information System (GIS). As results, flavonoids and stilbenoid DP4 were spatialized according to soil granulometry, with stilbenoid DP4 over-accumulating in loamy-silty soils and flavonoids in sandy soils. The present study highlights soil-based terroir influence on polyphenols in a continuous space. Spatial metabolomics driven by correlation-based networks represents a powerful approach to spatialize field-omics data and may serve as new field-phenotyping tool in precision agriculture.

Essential oil vapor triggers resistance pathways in Vitis vinifera and blocks plasmopora viticola infection

The amount of synthetic pesticides applied in viticulture is relatively high compared to other agricultural crops, due to the high sensitivity of grapevine to diseases such as downy mildew (Plasmopora viticola). Alternatives to reduce fungicides are utterly needed to promote a sustainable vineyard-ecosystems and meet consumer acceptance. Essential oils (EOs) are amongst the most promising natural plant protection agents and have shown their antifungal properties previously. However, the efficiency of EOs depends highly on timing and application technique.

Chemical and sensory influences of the UV-C light of 254 nm in combination with the antioxidant substances in wine

The UV-C light enhances oxidative processes in wine. Increasing the dose of UV-C can lead to olfactoric, gustatoric and colour changes in wine. These changes are triggered by a series of photochemical reactions such as degradation of esters, the formation of odour-active substances such as 2 aminoacetophenone through the photooxidation of amino acids. Ultimately, these reactions can lead to a reduced wine quality.

What practices in the vineyard lead to the production of wines that consistently win medals?

High quality wines start in the vineyard however little is known about the role vineyard management practices play in this quality outcome. Gold medals and well-known regionality increase consumer preference for purchasing a wine. An increase in the former will certainly also drive an increase in the latter and therefore practices in production that consistently lead to gold medal winning wines will improve both the marketability of the region and its products. It is argued that vinification is the main driver of wine quality and in fact, the presence of some oak compounds is a well-known consumer and expert mark of quality. However, only select wines are vinified in oak and therefore the original grape quality at the winery door must in fact drive all further downstream vinification decisions.
