Differentiation and characterization of Spanish fortified wines with protected designation of origin based on volatiles using multivariate approaches

Abstract

Spain is one of the main producers of high-quality fortified wines. Particularly some of them elaborated in Andalusia have acquired a great prestige for being unique due to their production in a specific geographical area with traditional methods, the grape variety used, the climate and the soil. Such is their distinguishing feature achieved that they have been protected by the European Union with the indication “Protected Designation of Origin” (PDO). Thus, there are four PDO of fortified wines in Andalucía (‘Condado de Huelva’, ‘Jerez Xérès Sherry’, ‘Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda’, and ‘Montilla-Moriles’). Furthermore, within each PDO,there are different categories according to their particular characteristics and winemaking conditions such as the aging process. Hence, Finos and Manzanillas wines are produced by biological aging, Oloroso wines by oxidative aging, and wines such as Amontillado and Palo Cortado wines share both types of aging during their production. The great diversity of high-quality wines on the market and the increase in their demand makes it is necessary to characterize them in order to establish quality and authenticity control parameters, thus protecting and assuring consumers that the product they are purchasing on the market has the quality and characteristics declared. The focus on the aroma has been object of study for the characterization of these products since it is considered one of the most relevant quality criteria for wine. Despite the fact that some authors have previously studied the volatile profile of some of these fortified PDO wines, scarce research has been done to assess the volatile composition of the four Spanish PDO fortified wines [1,2,3]. In this context, the aim of this work was to study and compare the characteristic volatile profile of different fortified wines from each Spanish PDO by headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) in conjunction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Chemometric techniques such as PARAFAC2 was applied to reduce the problems associated with GC-MS analysis of complex mixtures and to obtain the maximum information of the volatile profile for distinguishing between samples. Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were applied to study the differentiation of the samples. Volatile composition of the samples allowed the differentiation and classification of the different fortified wines based on the presence of certain compounds which could be considered markers of quality and authenticity for each PDO and type of wine.

Physiological and growth reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt to row orientation and soil water status

Advanced knowledge on grapevine row orientation is required to improve establishment, management and outcomes of vineyards on terroirs with different environmental conditions (climate, soil, topography) and in view of a future change to more extreme climatic conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of row orientation, plant water status and ripeness level on the physiological and viticultural reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt.

Effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California

San Joaquin Valley accounts for 40% of wine grape acreage and produces 70% of wine grape in California. Fruit quality is one of most important factors which impact the economical sustainability of farming wine grapes in this region. Due to the recent drought and expected labor cost increase, the wine industry is thrilled to understand how to improve fruit quality while maintaining the yield with less water and labor input. The present study aims to study the interactive effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on yield and berry compositions of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California.

The effects of cane girdling on berry texture properties and the concentration of some aroma compounds in three table grape cultivars

The marketability of the table grapes is highly influenced by the consumer demand; therefore the market value of the table grapes is mainly characterized by its berry size, colour, taste and texture. Girdling could cause accumulation of several components in plants above the ringing of the phloem including clusters and resulting improved maturity. The aim of the experiments was to examine the effect of girdling on berry texture characteristics and aroma concentration.

Application of a fluorescence-based method to evaluate the ripening process and quality of Pinot Blanc grape

The chemical composition of grape berries at harvest is one of the most important factors that should be considered to produce high quality wines. Among the different chemical classes which characterize the grape juice, the polyphenolic compound, such as flavonoids, contribute to the final taste and color of wines. Recently, an innovative non-destructive method, based on chlorophyll fluorescence, was developed to estimate the phenolic maturity of red grape varieties through the evaluation of anthocyanins accumulated in the berry skin. To date, only few data are available about the application of this method on white grape varieties.

Different yield regulation strategies in semi-minimal-pruned hedge (SMPH) and impact on bunch architecture

Yields in the novel viticulture training system Semi-Minimal-Pruned Hedge (SMPH) are generally higher compared to the traditional Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP). Excessive yields have a negative impact on the vine and wine quality, which can result in substantial losses in yield in subsequent vintages (alternate bearing) or penalties in fruit quality. Therefore yield regulation is essential. The bunch architecture in SMPH differs from VSP. Generally there is a higher amount but smaller bunches with lower single berry weights in SMPH compared to VSP.
