Structural composition of polymeric polyphenols of red wine after long-term ageing: effect of vinification technology

Abstract

Aged red wines possess phenolic composition very different from young ones due to the transformations among native grape phenolics and the formation of new polymeric polyphenols during aging process. In this work, Syrah red wines were made by different winemaking technologies, i.e., traditional fermentation on skin (total 7 days of maceration), prolonged maceration with addition of extra skins at the end of traditional fermentation (total 14 days of maceration) and prolonged maceration with addition of extra stems at the end of traditional fermentation (total 14 days of maceration). After 8 years of ageing in bottle, the structural composition of polymeric polyphenols in these wines was comprehensively analysed through different degradation methods (hydrochloric acid hydrolysis, NaOH hydrolysis and Benzyl mercaptan hydrolysis), followed by HPLC-FT-ICR-MS, HPLC/UPLC-MS analysis. The results showed that the molecules of polymeric polyphenols in the aged red wines were composed of not only proanthocyanidins but also anthocyanins, amino acids and phenolic acids. The percentages of the constitutive units of the polymeric polyphenol molecules in these wines varied considerably, being catechin (7.1 – 14.9%), epicatechin (74.5 – 78.2%), epicatechin-3-O-gallate (5.8 – 12.2%), amino acids (0.7 – 1.5%), phenolic acids (0.0 – 0.9%) anthocyanins (0.1 – 0.4%) and epigallocatechin (0.7 – 4.7%),  depending on the type of the winemaking technologies. Catechin, epicatechin and epicatechin-3-O-gallate were presented as both terminal and extension units, with the latter predominant, while amino acids, phenolic acids and anthocyanins were found to be presented exclusively as terminal units and epigallocatechin was found to be presented exclusively as extension units. Comparing with the wine made by traditional fermentation on skin, the lower phenolic acids and anthocyanins units was found in the wine made by prolonged fermentation/maceration with skin and with stem. The prolonged fermentation/maceration with skin was found to have highest amino acids units. On the other hand, different vinification technologies affected the mean polymerization degrees (mDP) of polymeric polyphenols in the aged red wines, being mDP 25.2 for the control one, mDP 13.1 for the wine made by the prolonged fermentation with skin and mDP 15.7 for the prolonged fermention with stem. These results indicated that, different winemaking technologies affect significantly the structural features of polymeric polyphenols.

austrianvineyards.com: online viewer of all designations of Austrian wine

To digitally record and present all the origins of Austrian wines in the same perfect and clear way was the motivation for the Austrian Wine Marketing Board (Austrian Wine) to start with the project in 2018. In June 2021 the results were presented to the public in an online viewer showing all the designations of Austrian wine, available at https://austrianvineyards.com in a largely barrier-free manner. The online viewer provides tailored individual maps fitted to the respective zoom level. The smallest unit of wine-origins in Austria is called Ried and is displayed in a plot-specific manner highlighting areas under vine. Information on the Ried include administrative district, winegrowing municipality, cadastral municipality, large collective vineyard site, specific winegrowing region, generic winegrowing region, winegrowing area and, in many cases, an illustrative picture. Complementary data on the size, elevation (minimum-maximum), orientation (in 8 sectors plus flat) and gradient (minimum, maximum, average) are based on the area under vine according to the EU’s Integrated Administration and Control System. Additional information covers climate data. The diagrams are taken from the monthly breakdown of data in the annals of the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics, Austria provide a display of values for air temperature, precipitation, and sunshine hours for the reference year and the long-term average. Seasonal aggregated data on temperature, precipitation, and sunshine hours complete the display. Short descriptions with emphasis on geology and soil, field name in historical maps, etymology of the denomination, and main planted variety complements the available information for the main designations in the online viewer. These descriptions are compiled by winegrowers, geologists, historians, and journalists. All the information and data can be extracted to a pdf-file. Printed vineyard maps are also available. Missing content regarding wine origins in Styria will be completed in winter 2021/22.

Preliminary studies of zoning applications in Goriška Brda (Collio) winegrowing region, Slovenia

Goriška Brda est la région viticole située le plus à l’ouest de la Slovénie, attenante au Collio d’Italie. Goriška Brda (2020 ha de vignobles) a une longue tradition d’élevage viticole. La proximité de la mer Adriatique (Golfe de Trieste) au sud-ouest et des Alpes Juliennes au nord contribue à un climat caractéristique et unique qui influe sur la croissance et la fertilité de la vigne. La constitution des sols, un climat typique et un relief mouvementé provoquent des différences dans la production du raisin, sa quantité et sa qualité. L’utilisation du zonage ou du microzonage permettraient d’atténuer les influences des facteurs climatiques et du sol sur la production de la vigne ou d’en profiter. Pour évaluer la signification des différents facteurs, nous avons résumé et réuni les modèles de différents auteurs.

Plant nitrogen assimilation and partitioning as a function of crop load

Aims: The optimization of nitrogen use efficiency (NUE, i.e. uptake, assimilation and partitioning) is a solution towards the sustainable production of premium wines, while reducing fertilization and environmental impact. The influence of crop load on the accumulation of N compounds in fruits is still poorly understood. The present study assesses the impacts of bunch thinning on NUE and the consequences on the free amino N (FAN) profile in fruits.

Berry weight loss in Vitis vinifera (L.) cultivars during ripening

Berry shriveling (BS) in vineyards are caused by numerous factors such as sunburn, dehydration, stem necrosis. Climate change results in an increase in day and night temperatures, rainfall throughout the year, changes in the timing and quantities, long dry summers and a combination of climatic variability such as floods, droughts and heatwaves). Grape development and its composition at harvest is influenced by the latter as grape metabolites are sensitive to the environmental conditions. The grape berry experiences water loss and an increase in flavour development as a result of the BS. An increased sugar content in grapes will result in higher alcohol wines and concentration of grape aromas which may be detrimental to the final wine quality.
