Integrated multiblock data analysis for improved understanding of grape maturity and vineyard site contributions to wine composition and sensory domains

Abstract

Much research has sought to define the complex contribution of terroir (varieties x site x cultural practices) on wine composition. This investigation applied recent advances in chemometrics to determine relative contributions of vine growth, berry maturity and site mesoclimate to wine composition and sensory profiles of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon for two vintages. 

Grape maturation was monitored using a berry sugar accumulation model and wines made from sequentially harvested grapes at three stages for each variety and vintage. Comprehensive targeted grape analysis of amino acids, carotenoids, sugars, organic acids, anthocyanins and volatile compounds were combined with targeted wine volatile and non-volatile chemical measures of composition and sensory descriptive analysis. Chemometric models of balanced sample sets derived from the pool samples were used in an ANOVA multiblock framework with orthogonal projection to latent structures (Boccard and Rudaz, 2016) to elucidate the relative importance of model design factors. 

Multiple data matrices derived from the experimental design factors are subtracted from the original data matrix to obtain pure effects and interaction submatrices with structured orthogonal data. A response matrix is derived from the positive eigenvalues associated with SVD of each effect matrix and residuals are then added to each submatrix prior to kernel OPLS. Model performance evaluated from residual structure ratio (RSR), goodness of fit (R2Y) and permutation testing identified the significant factors from each model. Projection of sample scores of significant factors against scores of the residual matrix is used to assess sample clusters with confidence intervals based on Hotelling T2. 

Loadings from significant experimental factors of each model were used for hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) with Euclidean distance measures and Wards grouping criteria. Prior to HCA scores and loadings are rotated to consistent presentation of factor levels in model plots. A conservative interpretation of loadings heat maps was considered appropriate and a summary heat map for explanatory factors is presented that enable interpretation of the impact of cultivar, site (soil x mesoclimate), grape maturity and region on grape and wine composition. The integrated data driven approach used in this investigation may be of assistance for other investigators for omics based experiments.

Modeling the suitability of Pinot Noir in Oregon’s Willamette Valley in a changing climate

Air temperature is the key driver of grapevine phenology and a significant environmental factor impacting yield and quality for a winegrape growing region. In this study the optimal downscaled CMIP5 ensemble for computing thegrowing season average temperature (GST) viticulture climate classification index was determined to spatially compute on a decadal basis predictions of the GST climate index and the grapevine sugar ripeness (GSR) model for Pinot Noir throughout the Willamette Valley (WV) American Viticultural Area (AVA). Forecasts for average temperature and a 220 g/L target sugar concentration level were computed using daily Localized Constructed Analogs (LOCA) downscaled CMIP5 historic and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) future climate projections of minimum and maximum daily temperature. We explore spatiotemporal trends of the GST climate classification index and Pinot Noir specific applications of the GSR phenology model for the WV AVA. Spatiotemporal computations of the GST climate index and Pinot Noir specific applications of the GSR model enable the opportunity to explore relationships between their computed values with one intent being to provide updated GST ranges that better align with current temperature-based modeling understanding of Pinot Noir grapevine phenology and the viticultural application of LOCA CMIP5 climate projections for the WV AVA. The Pinot Noir specific applications of the GSR model or the GST index with updated bounds indicate that the percent of the WV AVA area suitable for Pinot Noir production is currently at or near its peak value in the upper 80s to lower 90s of this century.

Recovery and purification of proteins from grape seed byproducts using proteomic and separative techniques

Grape seeds account for around 5% of the weight of the whole grape berry, representing approximately 40%-50% of the solid by-products that the different wine industries generate during the winemaking process.

Variability in intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) of eight red varieties grown in the center of the Iberian Peninsula during an atypical vintage year

The study was performed in the summer of 2007, the point of confluence of a rather atypical vintage year in the area with abnormally low temperatures after a very humid spring

Lipids at the crossroads of protection: lipid signalling in grapevine defence mechanisms

Understanding grapevine molecular processes and the underlying defence responses is vital for developing sustainable disease control strategies. Lipid signalling pathways, involving the synthesis and degradation of lipid molecules, have emerged as a key regulator in plant defence against pathogens. This study aims to elucidate the role of fatty acids and lipid signalling in grapevine’s defence response to P. viticola infection. The expression of lipid metabolism-related as well as lipid signalling genes was analysed, by qPCR, in three grapevine genotypes: Chardonnay (susceptible), Regent (tolerant) with Rpv3-1 resistance loci, and Sauvignac (resistant) harbouring a pyramid of Rpv12 and Rpv3-1 resistance loci.

A multivariate approach using attenuated total reflectance mid-infrared spectroscopy to measure the surface mannoproteins and β-glucans of yeast cell walls during wine fermentations

Yeast cells possess a cell wall comprising primarily glycoproteins, mannans, and glucan polymers. Several yeast phenotypes relevant for fermentation, wine processing, and wine quality are correlated with cell wall properties. To investigate the effect of wine fermentation on cell wall composition, a study was performed using mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy coupled with multivariate methods (i.e., PCA and OPLS-DA). A total of 40 yeast strains were evaluated, including Saccharomyces strains (laboratory and industrial) and non-Saccharomyces species. Cells were fermented in both synthetic MS300 and Chardonnay grape must to stationery phase, processed, and scanned in the MIR spectrum.
