Gamay And Gamaret Winemaking Processes Using Stems: Impact On The Wine Aromatic Composition.

Abstract

Stems may bring various benefits to the wine such as alcoholic reduction, color protection or improvement of the tannic intensity. Not much used on Swiss grape varieties, the aim of this study was to identify the relevance of using this type of winemaking in the case of Gamay and Gamaret red grape varieties. In this presentation, focus will be done on the aromatic compounds brought to the wine from the stems.
Gamay and Gamaret wines were made according to five modalities: fully destemmed used as control, 20% and 40% either whole grapes or stems added to the rest of the destemmed harvest. The influence of the stems on the wine chemical properties was measured using different classical FTIR and colorimetric methods (alcohol, acidity, pH, SO2 …). Volatile composition of wine was analysed by gas chromatography coupled to  a mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The analysis of compounds with an aroma impact by olfactometry completes these analyses. Sensory analysis were also performed in order to measure the impact on the wines.
To understand the influence of stems, stem extracts were obtained from the same harvest batch using a maceration under simulated alcoholic fermentation protocol. These extracts were also analysed by GC-MS-olfactometry. The analytical results show differences between the aromatic profiles of the Gamay and Gamaret stems alcoholic extracts. The presence of terpene alcohol with floral notes such as linalool, geraniol or α-terpineol are particularly present in the alcoholic extracts of Gamaret stems. Gamay stems extracts have a more complex volatile compounds profile with esters and alcohols (fruity notes) present in greater quantities.
The presence of stems at different percentages and form during winemaking also influences the general aromatic profile of the different modalities.
This study allows us to acquire knowledge about winemaking processes performed using non-destemmed grapes and their impact on the wine characteristics.

Identifying wild Vitis riparia Michx clones as a source of rootstock to mitigate vigour and acclimation/deacclimation cycles of the scion

Grapevine rootstocks have traditionally been chosen in order to manage scion vigour, soil pests and soil conditions. Riparia Gloire de Montpellier (RGM) has been in use since the turn of the 19th century, over 100 years and still a remarkably stable source of phylloxera (Daktulosphaeria vitifoliae Fitch) resistance. The original source material was probably collected near the Missouri/Mississippi river confluence, a mid-continental but more southerly location in the United States. It has been hypothesized that more northerly selections of V. riparia Michx might improve both fall acclimation rate and depth of the scion, thus mitigating late fall frost and midwinter freeze damage.

Ultra high pressure liquid chromatography for stilbenes separation and their determination in Burgundy red wines

In this study for the first time, eight natural stilbenes (trans-resveratrol, trans-piceid, cis-piceid, trans-astringin, trans-piceatannol, (+)-trans-s-viniferin, pallidol and hopeaphenol) isolated and purified from Vitis vinifera, were simultaneously separated and analysed within 5 mn by ultra high pressure liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detection.

Correlation between agronomic performance and resistance gene in PIWi varieties in the field

Today’s viticulture faces a considerable challenge dealing with fungal diseases and limitations on the use of plant protection products (PPP) have increased the pressure to find more sustainable alternatives. One strategy may be the development and cultivation of disease-resistant grapevine varieties (PIWI) that could maintain crop productivity and quality while reducing dependence on PPP. In this work a set of 9 PIWI varieties (5 white and 4 red) deploying genes for resistance to powdery and downy mildew were evaluated in two consecutive years in Valdegón, La Rioja, with Tempranillo and Viura as controls. The objective was to correlate agronomic performance and disease incidence with the presence of disease resistance genes in two different seasons: with (2023) and without disease pressure (2022).
