«Nektar» -the new red variety wine grape aromatic high quality

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – The multi-annual study of the International Genetic Bank of the Grape Vine has shown that red varieties are enough, but the red varieties that produce high-quality red wine are minimal. This paper presents is the create, the study and amplographic description the new red variety “Nektar”. The new red variety “Nektar” was created at the Athens Vineyard Institute in 2012.  

Material and methods – The variety created by crossing by the method of hybridization of the newly Greek variety “Makedonas” (“Ksinomauro” x “Cabernet Sauvignon”) with the newly Greek variety “Tihi” (“Augoulato” with the pollen mix of varieties Cabernet-Sauvignon and Grenache noir).

Results – The “Nektar” is is a new red grape variety wine-making quality aromatic. The duration of the variety from budburst to maturity is 136-145 days. The variety is very strong with large shoots growth (2.1 – 3.0 m). The growth of shoots is higherover 95 %. The average mass of cluster is 360 g and the yield are high, 15-20 t / ha. The “Nektar” grape variety is medium, spheric,middle density, the diameter 15 mm, with anaverage weight of 1,9 g and a blue-black color.The flower is hermaphrodite. The pollen is fertile.The quantity of seeds in berry is3-4. The skin is thick with high strength. The flesh isnone or very weak, with a special flavor of the variety, green paper. The content of sugar in must is greater than 24 %. The “Nektar” variety, based on its ampelographic and natural characteristics, is classified in the group of varieties convarietasponticaNeqr. It is distinguishedfrom by its high resistance to drought and fungal diseases compared to other varieties of Vitis vinifera L. The variety is intended for the production of high-quality red wines, and very aromatic juices. Can be used in the genetic improvement of vitis vinifera varieties as a qualitydonor

Reaction Mechanisms of Copper and Iron with Hydrogen Sulfide and Thiols in Model Wine

Fermentation derived sulfidic off-odors due to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and low molecular weight thiols are commonly encountered in wine production and removed by Cu(II) fining. However, the mechanism underlying Cu(II) fining remains poorly understood, and generally results in increased Cu concentration that lead to deleterious reactions in finished wine. The present study describes a mechanistic investigation of the iron and copper mediated reaction of H2S, cysteine, 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol, and 6-sulfanylhexan-1-ol with oxygen. The concentrations of H2S, thiols, oxygen, and acetaldehyde were monitored over time. It was found that Cu(II) was rapidly reduced by both H2S and thiols to Cu(I).

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.

Influence of processing parameters on aroma profile of conventional and ecological Cabernet-Sauvignon red wine during concentration by reverse osmosis

Wine aroma represents one of the most important quality parameter and it is influenced by various factors (viticulture and vinification techniques, climate or storage conditions etc.). Wines produced from conventionally and ecologically grown grapes of same variety have different chemical composition and aroma profile [1]. Aroma profile of wine can be also influenced by additional treatment of wine, such as concentration of wine by reverse osmosis (RO). Reverse osmosis represents a pressure-driven membrane separation technique that separates the initial wine on the retentate or concentrate that is retained on the membrane, and permeate that passes through it [2]. Wine permeate usually containes water, ethanol, acetic acid and several low molecular weight compounds that can pass through the membrane. This property enables the use of reverse osmosis membranes for wine concentration, partial dealcoholization, acetic acid or aroma correction [3,4].
