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.

Model-assisted analysis of the root traits underlying RSA genotypic diversity in Vitis: a promising approach for rootstock selection?

By dissecting the root system architecture (RSA) into its underpinning components (e.g. root emission, axial growth, radial growth, branching, root direction or tropism) and identifying the relationships between them, functional-structural 3D root models are promising tools for analyzing the diversity and complexity of root system phenotypes with Genotype × Environment interactions. The model parameters are assumed to be synthetic traits, less influenced by the environment, and consequently with less polygenic architectures than the integrative RSA traits they drive. Root models can serve as a basis for in silico development of root system ideotypes by highlighting the developmental processes and parameters that most likely influence RSA fitness.

Hydraulic redistribution and water movement mechanisms in grapevines

Plants have been shown to redistribute water between root sections and soil layers along a gradient of decreasing water availability. One benefit of this hydraulic redistribution is that water can be transported from roots in wet soil to others in dry soil, delaying the onset of water stress and increasing root longevity in dry environments. Grapevines are thought to redistribute water laterally across the trunk from wet to dry portions of the root system. However, it is unknown whether the phloem contributes to such water redistribution.

Role of PH and its management during vinification on the extraction during maceration and on the evolution during ageing of the phenolic compounda of red wine

Climatic changes cause significant variations in the composition of grapes. for red grapes, a mismatch between phenolic and technological ripening is often observed. There is also often a marked increase in pH and a reduction in fixed acids, which affect the stability and evolution of the wine during ageing. These experiments will provide more information on the role of pH during the winemaking of red wines on the extraction and evolution of phenolic compounds.

Colloids in red wines: new insights from recent research

Despite their significant impact on wine quality and stability, colloids in red wine remain relatively under-researched. A series of studies, developed in the context of the d-wines project, aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the structure, composition, and formation mechanisms of red wine colloids by studying monovarietal wines from 10 of the most significant Italian red grape varieties. Starting from the idea that proteins, polysaccharides, and tannins should be involved in colloid formation, 110 monovarietal red wines were analysed for these components, revealing high inter- and intra-varietal diversity [1].
