Influence of phenolic composition and antioxidant properties on the ageing potential of Syrah red wines measured by accelerated ageing tests.

Abstract

Red wine ageing impacts its chemical and sensory characteristics such as colour, astringency and aromas evolution. Wine ageing involves many chemicals and physico-chemical reactions. Oxygen has an important role in these evolutions, especially during bottle ageing. It is known that wine composition and its antioxidant capacity are correlated to its ability to undergo with oxygen exposure [1]. A high oxygen exposure can affect wine quality by the formation of undesirable oxidative volatile compounds such as acetaldehyde [2]. Thus, ageing capacity is an important factor for wine quality and is related to extent of oxidation with ageing [3].
The aim of this study was to characterize the influence of phenolic composition and antioxidant properties on the ageing capacity of 14 Syrah red wines, measured by accelerated ageing tests (AATs) based on oxygen consumption rate recently developed (thermal test at 60°C, enzymatic test with laccase and chemical test with H2O2) [4]. To achieve this, different parameters were measured such as anthocyanins and flavanols contents, antioxidant capacity, voltammetric behaviour, colour parameters and free SO2 level. Statistical analysis was performed to correlate the results of the ATTs with the initial phenolic composition and antioxidant properties of Syrah red wines. 
High correlations were obtained between the initial phenolic composition and antioxidant properties of the samples. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to classify wines and discriminate them into three groups depending on their composition as well as their antioxidant properties. The results showed significant differences between the three studied ATTs, these results revealing specific mechanisms for each accelerated ageing condition. Partial least squares (PLS) regression was carried out in order to establish a model that can predict the AATs based on their different parameters studied. These models predicted with success the AATs (R2 > 0.93 for all of them) and showed the influence of specific phenolic compounds in the models.

Co-design and evaluation of spatially explicit strategies of adaptation to climate change in a Mediterranean watershed

Climate change challenges differently wine growing systems, depending on their biophysical, sociological and economic features. Therefore, there is a need to locally design and evaluate adaptation strategies combining several technical options, and considering the local opportunities and constraints (e.g. water access, wine typicity). The case study took place in a typical and heterogeneous Mediterranean vineyard of 1,500 ha in the South of France. We developed a participatory modeling approach to (1) conceptualize local climate change issues and design spatially explicit adaptation strategies with stakeholders, (2) numerically evaluate their effects on phenology, yield and irrigation needs under the high-emissions climate change scenario RCP 8.5, and (3) collectively discuss simulation results. We organized five sets of workshops, with in-between modeling phases. A process-based model was developed that allowed to evaluate the effects of six technical options (late varieties, irrigation, water saving by reducing canopy size, adjusting cover cropping, reducing density, and shading) with various distributions in the watershed, as well as vineyard relocation. Overall, we co-designed three adaptation strategies. Delay harvest strategy with late varieties showed little effects on decreasing air temperature during ripening. Water constraint limitation strategy would compensate for production losses if disruptive adaptations (e.g. reduced density) were adopted, and more land got access to irrigation. Relocation strategy would foster high premium wine production in the constrained mountainous areas where grapevine is less impacted by climate change. This research shows that a spatial distribution of technical changes gives room for adaptation to climate change, and that the collaboration with local stakeholders is a key to the identification of relevant adaptation. Further research should explore the potential of adaptation strategies based on soil quality improvement and on water stress tolerant varieties.

Survey of winegrape irrigation practices in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley of California

In California vineyards, irrigation is considered as one of the most important decisions growers will make. Recent research has revealed that decisions of when to begin irrigation and how much water to apply have considerable consequences for final grape quality and hence wine quality. However, it is unclear whether and to what extent the average winegrape grower uses objective data to begin irrigating or to determine the amount of water to apply.
