´Vinho Verde´ wines production from differential fermentation: the role of musts sulphitation as a preservation strategy to keep the musts character

Abstract

High-volume mass-market white wines production method by means of harvest-deferred fermentation from desulphited musts allows an efficient business management by avoiding the seasonality in wine sector. This technology has been used in the production of light and fresh wines from Vinhos Verdes Appellation (VVA – Portugal). This Appellation presents a diversity of varieties and wine styles, and is known for producing light and fresh wines, but also mineral, complex and structured ones, with, in general, low ethanol content. The light and fresh VV wines are characterized by herbaceous, citrus, tropical fruits, orchard fruits and floral notes. Thus, the goal of this work was to unveil based on physical-chemical data if sulphitated musts from VVA preserve the organoleptic potential that allows the production of high-volume wines with the typical light and fresh VV character. A set of musts were produced at industrial scale from grapes harvested from different sub-regions of VVA, which were then sulphited and stored for 1 year. For comparison purpose, sulphitated musts from Beira Atlântico and Trás-os-Montes Portuguese regions were also characterized. Free volatile and glycosidically-linked compounds were determined by advanced gas chromatography (GC×GC-ToFMS). The physical-chemical parameters currently used in musts quality control were also determined. Statistical tools were applied by combining all data domains. The aroma potential of musts was performed based on the construction of aroma networks [1].A total of 145 volatile compounds were putative identified, which varied from 136 to 142, in must from Cávado and Lima sub-regions, respectively. Regarding the glycosidically-linked fraction, 29 compounds were putatively identified, which varied from 20 to 24 in must from Cávado and Amarante sub-regions. Clustering analysis unveiled the formation of 3 main clusters, one of which includes all VVA musts, which allows to infer that geographical region is the main distinguishing factor. VVA musts were characterized with higher total acidity, and lower °Brix, potency alcoholic strength and density, compared with the samples from other regions. Moreover, esters, monoterpenic and sesquiterpenic compounds detected in VVA musts may contribute with citrus, floral, orchard and tropical fruits aromas, which are relevant aromas for sensory characteristics of VV wines. Thus, must sulphitation, a methodology used to extend its preservation beyond the harvest season, seems to keep the particular musts character, which is extremely important for the consistency of light and fresh high-volume VV wines.

The impact of delayed grapevine budbreak on lemberger wine sensory compounds under variable weather conditions

Spring freeze events threaten grape production globally. As grape buds emerge from dormancy in spring, freezing temperatures have the potential to damage green tissues, decreasing yield potential and compromising fruit quality by harvest.

Gamma-ray spectrometry In Burgundy vineyard for high resolution soil mapping

Aim: A soil mapping methodology based on gamma-ray spectrometry and soil sampling has been applied for the first time in Burgundy. The purpose of this innovative high-resolution mapping is to delimit soil areas, to define elementary units of soil for terroir characterization and vineyard management. The added value of this integrated approach is a continuous geophysical mapping of the soil with an investigation depth of 60cm.

Climate change and economic challenge – strategies for vinegrowers, winemakers and wine estates

For wine areas around the world, nature and climate are becoming factors of production whose endowment becomes a stake beyond the traditional economic factors: labor, capital, land. They strongly influence agricultural and environmental conditions for production.

Practical Aspects of Viticultural Zoning In South Africa

Depuis 1973, une commission statutaire administre la législation qui régit le zonage vitivinicole en Afrique du Sud. La province «Le Cap de l’ouest» cerne toutes les zones viticoles sauf quatre unités. Pour la plupart, le Cap de l’ouest a un climat méditerranéen. Les zones viticoles – qui produisent les «vins d’origine» – sont des régions, des districts, des quartiers et des domaines. Les régions sont vastes, séparées par la topographie, par ex. des chaînes de montagnes et des fleuves. Généralement, chaque région représente une zone climatique. Le climat de chaque district est plus homogène. Les quartiers sont exactement délimités par le climat, la topographie et la géologie. Les domaines sont les plus petits. Chaque domaine doit avoir un seul propriétaire.

Flavonol and anthocyanin potential of Spanish minority grapes and its relationship with wine colour

Global climate change is currently affecting vine phenology and causing a decoupling between technological and phenolic maturity of the grapes [1]. Wine industry has to face the challenge of making quality wines from grapes with an unbalanced phenolic composition.

Effetti del cambiamento climatico europeo sulle epoche di vendemmia in Abruzzo

I dati termo-pluviometrici del periodo 1971-2009 registrati da alcune stazioni della regione Abruzzo sono stati analizzati adottando alcuni semplici indici climatici e bioclimatici. E’ stato valutato il verificarsi di cambiamenti climatici così come le loro ripercussioni sulle date di inizio vendemmia.

Histoire des Vitis depuis leurs origines possibles sur la Pangée jusqu’aux cépages cultivés : un exemple de résilience liée à la biodiversité des espèces

The first forms of life on earth were bacteria and single-celled blue-green algae. They evolved into land plants around 500 million years ago, developing mechanisms for surviving on land, such as roots, stems and leaves. This evolution also led them to coexist with other organisms, such as insects and animals, for pollination and seed dispersal, as well as to resist environmental factors such as drought and disease.

Molecular binding mechanisms between grape seed polypeptides and wine anthocyanins by fluorescence spectroscopy and computational techniques

In recent years, proteins endogenous to grape have become of great interest to the wine industry because they represent a new alternative to other biopolymers subjected to more legal restrictions (i.e. animal origin and synthetics) that can be used in technological applications to modulate sensory attributes such as wine color and have a positive impact on wine quality.

New food trend ahead? Highlighting the nutritional benefits of grapevine leaves

The wine industry produces an enormous amount of waste every year. A wider inclusion of disregarded by-products in the human diet or its use as a source of bioactive compounds is a good strategy for reducing waste. It will not only introduce an added value to a waste product but also come upon the European Union and United Nations’ demands towards more sustainable agricultural approaches and circular economy.
