Vineyard microclimate alterations induced by black mulch through transcriptome reshaped the flavoromics of Cabernet Sauvignon

Abstract

To alter the vineyard microclimate and produce quality wine under a semi-arid climate, black geotextile inter-row mulch (M) was applied for two vintages (2016-2017). The grapes were sampled at three growing stages to conduct the untargeted metabolome and transcriptome analysis. The upregulated genes related to photosynthesis and heat shock proteins confirmed that M weakened the total light exposure and grapes suffered severe heat stress, resulting in lower sugar and higher acids at harvest. The integration of metabolome and transcriptome analysis identified the key genes responsible for the enhancements in phenylalanine, glutamine, ornithine, arginine, and C6 alcohol concentrations, and the downward trend in ε-viniferin, anthocyanins, flavonols, terpenes and norisoprenoids concentrations in M grapes. The effects of metabolites and transcriptome were more evident in vintage with weaker light indicating the key regulator of light exposure under semi-arid regions. In addition, the potential key transcription factors regulating the biosynthesis of the above metabolites including VviGATA11, VviHSFA6B, and VviWRKY03 were identified through weighted correlation network analysis. Taken together, this study provides a valuable overview of metabolic and transcriptomic responses of grapes exposed to inter-row mulch treatment in semi-arid climates, which could facilitate understanding the complex regulatory network of metabolites in response to microclimate changes.

Identification of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, a gamma nonalactone precursor in must and wine from Bordeaux cultivars

Various molecular compounds are responsible for the complex mixture of fragrances that give wine its aroma. In particular, the ‘cooked fruit’ aroma found in red wines from hot and/or dry vintages or from the vinification of late harvested grapes has been intensively investigated in recent years. Lactones and especially γ-nonalactone were found to be responsible for the ‘cooked fruit’

Investigation of the effect of gelatine and egg albumin fining and cross-flow microfiltration on the phenolic composition of Pinotage red wine

Results indicated that cross-flow microfiltration removed similarly to fining treatments the most astringent tannins, but cross-flow microfiltration also removed up to 14 % more colour. RP-HPLC and spectrophotometric results showed that egg albumin is a softer fining treatment compared to gelatine and cross-flow microfiltration.

IMPACT OF ACIDIFICATION AT BOTTLING BY FUMARIC ACID ON RED WINE AFTER 2 YEARS

Global warming is responsible for a lack of organic acid in grape berries, leading to wines with higher pH and lower titrable acidity. The chemical, microbiological and organoleptic equilibriums are impacted by this change of organic acid concentration. It is common practice to acidify the wine in order to prevent these imbalances that can lead to wine defects and early spoilage. Tartaric acid (TA) is most commonly used by winemaker for wine acidification purposes. Fumaric acid (FA), which is authorized by the OIV in its member states for the inhibition of malolactic fermentation, could also be used as a potential acidification candidate since it has a better acidifying power than tartaric acid.
