Long-lasting flavour perception of wines treated with oenological additives considering the individual PROP taste-phenotype

Abstract

The use of oenological additives is becoming a common practice due to the technological and sensory properties they provide to the wines. However, the number of studies focused on the impact that these additives might induce on wine flavor perception during wine tasting is still quite scarce. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of three different types of common oenological additives: two oenotannins (ellagitannin and gallotannin) and a commercial preparation of yeast mannoproteins on the long-lasting flavor perception (aroma and astringency). For this, three red wines with each type of additive and a control wine without them were prepared. All the wines were aromatized with two aroma mixtures responsible for the “fruity” and “woody” aroma nuances. Retronasal aroma and astringency were evaluated at the same time using a dynamic sensory methodology (Time-Intensity) and a trained panel (n=40), consisted of non-tasters (n=20) and tasters (n=20) based on their PROP (6-n-propylthiouracil) responsiveness. The parameters AUC (area under the curve), I max (maximum intensity), T max (time to reach maximum intensity) and T end (time at which the aroma attribute is no longer perceived) were evaluated for each wine type to assess the effect of these additives on the dynamics of flavor perception. Results showed significant differences (p<0.05) in the perception of astringency according to PROP phenotype; tasting PROP individuals showed higher values for most T-I parameters than non-tasters. However, the PROP phenotype did not affect the perception of retronasal aroma. In addition, the three oenological additives had an effect on astringency and retronasal aroma perception. For instance, they significantly increased the long-lasting perception of astringency compared to the control, while gallotannin also increased the long-lasting persistence of the woody aroma.

Effect on the grape and wine characteristics of cv. Tempranillo at 3 production levels

The vineyard has experienced a general increase in yields mainly due to the elevated use of technology which caused a quality loss of grapes in more than one case. A large percentage of the Spanish vineyard is covered by a Denomination of Origin which limits the productive level of the vineyards as one of its regulations. The maximum production limit is a variable characteristic of each vineyard and is not usually regulated by agronomic criteria, and this explains the fact that each vineyard can reach high quality with a totally different yield from that set by the Denomination of Origin.

Indicators of Sustainable Vineyard Soil Management: Metrics for Assessing Environmental Impacts

The vital role of soils in supporting life on our planet cannot be overstated. Soils provide numerous ecosystem services and functions, including biomass production, carbon sequestration, physical support, biological habitat, and genetic reserve, among others. Understanding the characteristics and sensitivity of soils in a specific terroir, along with effective soil management practices, is crucial for the sustainable management of natural resources.

Wine racking in the winery and the use of inerting gases

The O2 uptake in the different winemaking processes is generally considered to be negative for the sensory characteristics of white and rosé wines. Wine racking is a critical point of O2 uptake, as the large surface area of the wine exposed during this operation and the inability to maintain an effective inert gas blanket over it.
The objective was to study O2 uptake during the racking of a model wine without using inert gases and to compare it with the purging of the destination tank with different inert gases.

Impact of polyclonal selection for abiotic stress tolerance on the yield and must quality traits of grapevine varieties

The effects of climate change in viticulture are currently a major concern, with heat waves and drought affecting yield, wine quality, and in extreme cases, even plant survival. Ancient grapevine varieties have high intravarietal genetic variability that so far has been explored successfully to improve yield and must quality. Currently, there is little information available on intravarietal variability regarding responses to stress. In the current work, the intravarietal genetic variability of several Portuguese varieties was studied for yield, must quality, and tolerance to abiotic stress, through indirect, rapid, and nondestructive measurements carried out in the field.
