Heat berry: the influence of abiotic factors on the composition of berries, must and wine in Vitis vinifera L. CV Riesling

Abstract

It has been known for a long time that altering microclimate affects fruit composition and wine quality. The research project Heat Berry focuses on future scenarios of the climate change regarding higher temperatures and the risk of increasing sun radiation to the fruit. Field experiments were conducted in 2015 and 2016 at an experimental site at Geisenheim (Germany) using Riesling (clone 198-25 grafted to rootstock SO4). The aim of this study was to investigate and separate the effect of higher temperature to the fruit and higher light exposure in the bunch zone. Therefore, an experimental setup was designed to increase temperature inside the bunch zone (up to max. 3 °C on average) as well as defoliation and shading to influence the light exposure of the bunches. In addition, some physiological parameters and maturity measurements (Brix, yeast available nitrogen, organic acids) were determined. Aroma measurements focused on monoterpenes, C13-Norisoprenoids and polyphenols in berries as well as in samples of small scale vinification. A special focus lies on the C13-norisoprenoid TDN (1, 1, 6-trimethyl-1, 2-dihydronaphthalene). It is mostly present in mellow, aging Riesling wines and associated with a petrol taint in the sensory perception. Whether the origin of TDN is connected to viticultural and abiotic factors like temperature or sun exposure will be discussed.

MODULATION OF YEAST-DERIVED AROMA COMPOUNDS IN CHARDONNAY WINES USING ENCAPSULATED DIAMMONIUM PHOSPHATE TO CONTROL NUTRIENT RELEASE

Yeast-derived aroma compounds are the result of different and complex biochemical pathways that mainly occur during alcoholic fermentation. Many of them are related -but not limited- to the availability of nutrients in the fermentation medium and linked to nitrogen metabolism and biomass produced. Besides, the metabolic phase of yeast also regulates the expression of many enzymes involved in the formation of aroma active compounds. The work investigates the overall effect of continuous supplementation of nutrients during alcoholic fermentation of a grape must on the volatile composition of wines.

La perception des terroirs du vignoble des Coteaux du Layon

On peut être surpris de l’existence d’un vignoble de vins liquoreux, le vignoble des Coteaux du Layon, dans une zone septentrionale à la limite Nord de la culture de qualité de la vigne et ce d’autant plus que le cépage de ce vignoble, le Chenin ou Pineau de la Loire, est un cépage semi tardif. La première explication est à rechercher au niveau des facteurs naturels (données climatiques et géopédologiques) permettant la réalisation de ce type de produit. Il est nécessaire de souligner ici l’importance de chaque paramètre du terroir pris dans im sens large (géopédologique et climatique) et que toute variation de l’un d’entre eux, même non perceptible en première analyse à l’homme, peut avoir des incidences déterminantes sur la qualité des vins.

Quantitative and qualitative changes in terpenes during enzymatic maceration and fermentation in wine production: insights from Polish grape varieties

The production of fermented alcoholic beverages involves numerous processes in which microorganisms and enzymes convert components derived from the raw material into a wide range of compounds that affect the sensory characteristics of the resulting product. It is estimated that there may be as many as 800 to 1,000 such compounds in wine. These compounds belong to different chemical groups such as esters, alcohols, carboxylic acids, carbonyl compounds, polyphenols, sugars and many others.
