Characterization of different clone candidates of xinomavro according to their phenolic composition

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study ‐ The aim of this study is the examination of wines of 9 different clones of a Greek grape variety Xinomavro, (ΧE1, X19, X22, X28, ΧE2 X30, X31, X35, X36, X37), with regards to their phenolic and anthocyanin content and chemical composition.

Material and methods ‐ Grapes were collected in vintage 2016, from an established Xinomavro vineyard, planted with the nine clones each one represented by fifty plants. The vineyard was established in 2011, with planted material selected according to the corresponding E.U. legislation for vine clone selection. Grapes were collected at harvest; general chemical analyses of each clone were recorded and the grapes were vinified under the same winemaking protocol and conditions. Monomeric anthocyanins, tannin mean degree of polymerization (mDP), galloylation percentage (%G), percentage of prodelphinidins (% P) and total tannin content, were determined in the produced wines by High Performance Liquid Chromatographer (HPLC) and spectrophotometer.

Results ‐ In most analyses performed an influence of clone selection was observed. Clones XE1, X19, X37, X35 and X31 differentiate from the clones evaluated in parameters crucial for wine quality such as maturity, acidity, anthocyanin, phenolic content and composition. It is therefore a step towards identifying clone characteristics dependent to the viticulture and winemaking needs.

Feminin vs masculin: the sensorial opposition between chambolle-musigny and gevrey-chambertin wines and the socioeconomical construction of a terroir/taste wine paradigm

At least since de XIXth century, wine writers oppose quite often the wines from Gevrey-Chambertin to the wines from Chambolle-Musigny claiming that the former are more “masculine” (full-bodied, powerful tannins, leathery, rustic…) and the later more “feminine” (delicate, elegant, silky, flowery…).

Evolution of several biochemical compounds during the development of Merlot wine in the vinegrowing “Terroir” of Valea Călugăreasa

The qualitative and quantitative distribution of the phenolic compounds in red wines depends on cultivars features, on grapes maturation state, on grapes processing technology including must obtention, as well as on maceration-fermentation method (Margheri, 1981). The last two factors are responsible for the different phenolic composition of the wines produced from the same cultivar.

Sparkling wines and atypical aging: investigating the risk of refermentation

Sparkling wine (SW) production entails a two-steps process where grape must undergoes a primary fermentation to produce a base wine (BW) which is then refermented to become a SW. This process allows for the development of a new physicochemical profile characterized by the presence of foam and a different organoleptic profile.
