Toasted Vine-Shoots As An Alternative Enological Tool. Impact On The Sensory Profile Of Tempranillo Wines

Abstract

The use of toasted vine-shoots as an alternative enological tool to make differentiated wines has generated interest among researchers and wineries. However, the evolution of these wines in bottle and the effect on the sensory profile has not been studied so far.

 

In this work, Tempranillo wines were elaborated in contact with their own toasted vine-shoots fragments in two different doses and two moments of addition: in the middle of alcoholic fermentation (1/2AF) and after malolactic fermentation (AMF). After removing vine-shoots, the wines were bottled, and a sensory analysis was carried out over a year using a specific scorecard which included color, olfactory and taste descriptors. Also, along with the traditional odor descriptors, a new one, named SEGs (Shoot from vines – Enological – Granule), was included to describe the specific impact of the vine-shoots. Besides, the phenolic and volatile compositions of wines were analyzed by HPLC-DAD and SBSE-GC-MS, respectively.

 

Results of the statistical analysis showed a greater contribution of the vine-shoots addition moment than doses in the wines sensory differentiation. The sensory analysis at bottling time showed that vine-shoots only modified the color in AMF wines, having more violet tones than the control. However, after 120 days in bottle, the garnet and red tones were upwards, being greater than in the control wine. This suggests a better evolution of wines macerated with lower doses of toasted vine-shoots.

 

Regarding to odor descriptors, wines from treatments showed at the end of winemaking higher values than control wine, except for red fruit notes. At bottling time, the notes of nuts, toast and SEGs were the most important in AMF wines with respect to the control. However, along time in bottle, the differences of these descriptors with respect to the control decreased in AMF wines and slightly increased in 1/2AF ones.

 

Concerning taste descriptors, at bottling time wines from treatments showed higher values than control, mainly in AMF wines, where nuts, toast and SEGs nuances were the most intense. However, there were differences in the bottle evolution between wines from treatments, which slightly enhanced of several descriptors in 1/2AF but decreased in AMF wines, which suggests a better integration of the vine-shoots in the wine in the last case. On the other hand, tannins of wines from vine-shoots treatments were described by tasters as sweetness, non-dryness and non-bitterness since the first tasting, contrary to control ones, where dryness and bitterness were appreciated up to 120 days in bottle.

 

Finally, after a year in the bottle, the differentiation in the sensory profile of the wines was maintained, although the aromatic nuances were softened.

YEAST-PRODUCED VOLATILES IN GRAPE BASED SYSTEM MODEL ACTING AS ANTIFUNGAL BIOAGENTS AGAINST PHYTOPATHOGEN BOTRYTIS CINEREA

Botrytis cinerea Pers., the causal agent of grey mould disease, is responsible for substantial economic losses, as it causes reduction of grape and wine quality and quantity. Exploitation of antagonistic yeasts is a promising strategy for controlling grey mould incidence and limiting the usage of synthetic fungicides. In our previous studies, 119 different indigenous yeasts were screened for putative multidimensional modes of action against filamentous fungus B. cinerea [1]. The most promissing biocontrol yeast was Pichia guilliermondii ZIM624, which exhibited several anatagonistic traits (production of cell wall degrading enzymes, chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase; demonstration of in vitro inhibitory effect on B. cinerea mycelia radial growth; production of antifungal volatiles, assimilation of a broad diversity of carbon sources, contributing to its competitivnes in inhabiting grapes in nature).

HEAT BERRY : Sensitivity of berries ripening to higher temperature and impact on phenolic compounds in wine

The grapevine is an important economical crop that is very sensitive to climate changes and microclimate. The observations made during the last decades at a vineyard scale all concur to show the impact of climate change on vine physiology, resulting in accelerated phenology and earlier harvest (Jones and Davis 2000). It is well-known that berry content is affected by the ambient temperature. While the first experiences were primarily conducted on the impact of temperature on anthocyanin accumulation in the grape, few studies have focused on others component of phenolic metabolism, such as tannins.

Cell-to-cell contact modulates Starmerella bacillaris early death in mixed fermentations with Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a couple-dependent way

AIM: The diversity and complexity of the fermentation ecosystem during wine making limits the successful prediction of wine characteristics. The use of selected starter cultures has allowed a better control of the fermentation process and the production of wines with established characteristics. Among them, the use of mixed fermentations with Starmerella bacillaris and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts has gained attention in recent years due to the fructophylic nature of the first and the ability of this inoculation protocol to reduce the acetic acid and ethanol content of the wines.
