«Promitheus» the new greek red wine grape arromatic variety

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – This paper presents is the create, the study and amplographic description the newGreek aromatic variety of red wine grapes “Promitheus”, created in 2012 by Researcher P. Zamanidis at the Athens Vine Department of the Institute of Olive, Subtropical Plants and Vine.

Material and methods – The variety created by crossing with the method of hybridization was used as the female parent the native newly Greek variety “Porfyro” with the male parent the variety “Cabernet-sauvignon”.  

Results – The “Promitheus” is a red aromatic wine variety. The duration of the variety from budburst to maturity is 146-155 days.  The variety is very strong with large shoots growth (2.1 – 3.0 m). The growth of shoots is higherover 95%. The flowers are morphologically and physiologically hermaphrodite. The yield is very high (15-20 t of grapes /ha). The size of the cluster is medium with a length of 15 cm and a width of 14 cm, the shape is conical, loose density. The length of the peduncle of the grape is 3,5 cm and the length of the peduncle of the berry is 0.5 cm. The average weight of the grape is 180 gr. The size of the berry is small, oval in shape, , the length of 1,5mm and width 1,4mm with an average weight of 2,2g and a blue-black color. The numbers of seed are 3-4 per berry. The skin is  thick with highresistance. The flesh is hard and the juice has a particular flavor of the variety, green paper. The content of sugars is higher than 230 g / l. It has high resistance to drought and fungal diseases compared to most Vitis vinifera grapes wine varieties. The “Promitheus” variety, due to its morphological and physiological characteristics, is classified in the group of convarietas pontica Negr. And is intended for the production of dry red wines, but also for sparkling wines, aromatic juices and tsipouro or raki.

Towards the understanding of wine distillation in the production of brandy de Jerez. Chemical and sensory characterization of two distillation methods: continuous and batch distillation

Brandy de Jerez (BJ) is a spirit drink made exclusively from spirits and wine distillates and is characterized by the use of casks for aging that previously contained Sherries. The quality and sensory complexity of BJ depend on the raw materials and some factors: grape variety, conditions during processing the wine and its distillation, as well as the aging in the cask. Therefore, the original compounds of the grapes from which it comes are of great interest being in most cases the Airén variety. Their relationship with the quality of the musts and the wines obtained from them has been studied (1) and varies each year of harvest depending on the weather conditions (2).

Functionality of different inter-stimulus rinse protocols for the sensory analysis of wildfire affected wines

From the effect of global climate change, wildfire occurrence during grape ripening has increased. These wildfires produce smoke that can carry organic compounds to a vineyard. These smoke compounds are adsorbed in the grape berry and result in wines with elevated levels of smoke-related phenols. These wines are described as having a smokey, burnt, and dirty aroma (Kristic et al, 2015). Not only are volatile phenols carried by smoke, but additionally glycoconjugate forms of these phenols are present as will. These have been found to have a large impact on the flavor of wines, being the cause of a lasting ashy aftertaste post consumption (Parker et al, 2012). When evaluating the sensory profile of these wines when tasted one after the other, there is an observed problem due to the lasting nature of these undesirable attributes and high level of carry-over from sample to sample. The aim of this work is to evaluate the extent this carryover occurs, along with the best sensory practices to mitigate its influence via different inter-stimulus rinse protocols.

High pressure homogenization of wine lees. A tool to streamline the management of wine ageing

Aging on lees (AOL) has been used for wine aging for a long time, thanks to its ability to modify wine composition, improving sensory characteristics and stability. However, the prolonged contact with fermentation lees may increase the risk of developing sensory defects, due to the growth of unwanted microorganisms. Furthermore, AOL requires a large amount of work to manage bâtonnage and for topping up the barrels, significantly increasing production costs.
