Enhanced polyphenol extraction during Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon wine making

Abstract

The quality of red wine depends on the composition of polyphenols influencing wine color and taste. The question is, how much we must fear over extraction, especially of seed tannins, under cool climate conditions. The extraction of polyphenols from grape skins and grape seeds were investigated for the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot noir. The experimental setup included seed removal, milling the seeds or the cap and returning them back, crushing the whole grapes prior fermentation, acidification of must as well as different techniques for the cap management. In 2018 as well as in 2019 the adaption of the enology in terms of maceration time, chaptalization and deacidification, depending on harvest time had been investigated. Photometric assays were used to determine total phenols, tannins and polymeric pigments. Anthocyanins and monomeric phenols were analyzed by HPLC-DAD/FD. Flavan-3-ol dimers and trimers as well as corresponding gallates were quantified by LC-QToF-MS. After bottling, descriptive sensory analysis was performed. The results showed that after seed removal, total phenolics and color intensity decreased. Crushing the seeds significantly increased total phenols, tannins, gallic acid and, for Pinot noir, also Large Polymeric Pigments. Additionally, a darker wine color was observed, indicating the importance of seed polyphenols for color stability. Acidification of must significantly contributed to wine color due to Small Polymeric Pigments, which were most likely formed by enhanced protonation of acetaldehyde, stimulating the formation of ethylidene-linked structures. Furthermore, catechin-catechin-gallate concentration was significantly increased due to acidification. This dimer may be released by the acid-catalyzed cleavage of interflavan bonds of higher molecular weight procyanidins. The sensory attributes color intensity, astringency, dry tannins and bitterness were the differentiating factors among the treatments. Crushing the seeds or the cap lead to the higher perception of phenol related in mouth modalities. The acidification of must leads to a significantly darker wine color while wines with seed removal lack in color and phenolic structure. Regarding time point of harvesting and technological maturity it seems the classical adjustment by means of sugar concentration is not able to simulate phenolic ripeness.

The influence of culture medium on the dynamics of fermentation of wine yeasts

Wine yeast strains Saccharomyces ellipsoideus have important applications in food industry and in this regard is sought isolation as pure cultures and selecting those strains, which in laboratory investigations which have great biotechnological properties This study was intended as the ratio of live cells and autolysates cells also the influence of culture medium on this report. Yeasts selected for this study were isolated from industrial strains of indigenous grape varieties, namely: Feteasca Royal (FR) Feteasca White (FA), black Feteasca (FN), Romanian Tamaioasa (TR), Babeasca Black (BN) and Cotnari Grasa (GC).

Understanding the complexity of grapevine winter physiology in the face of changing climate

The vast majority of our understanding of grapevine physiology is focused on the processes that occur during the growing season. Though not obvious, winter physiological changes are dynamic and complex, and have great influence on the survival and phenology of grapevines. In cool and cold climates, winter temperatures are a constant threat to vine survival. Additionally, as climate changes, grapevine production is moving toward more traditionally cool and cold climates, either latitudinal or altitudinal in location. Our research focuses on understanding how grapevines navigate winter physiological changes and how temperature impacts aspects of cold hardiness and dormancy. Through these studies, we have gained keen insight into the connections between winter temperature, maximum cold haridness, and budbreak phenology, that can be used to develop prediction models for viticulture in a changing climate.

Aroma compounds involved in the fruity notes of red wines potentially adapted to climate change.

Currently, climate change represents one of the major issues for the wine sector. The increasing temperature already recorded and expected in the upcoming years reduce the vegetative cycle of the grape varieties planted in Bordeaux area, affecting the physicochemical parameters of grapes and consequently, the quality of wine. From a sensory point of view, the attenuation of the fresh fruity character in some varietals is accompanied by the accentuation of dried-fruit notes [1]. As a new adaptive and ecological strategy on global warming, some winegrowers have initiated changes in the Bordeaux blend of vine varieties using late-ripening grape varieties [2].
