Aroma profile of ‘Pedro Ximenez’ sweet musts obtained from dried grapes by different methods

Abstract

Aroma fraction of musts from grapes ‘Pedro Ximenez’ traditionally sun-dried and chamber-dried at 40 ºC and at 50 ºCduring 8, 5 and 4 days respectively, destined for the production of sweet wines in Montilla-Moriles region (southern Spain) was studied. The OAVs of the 30 analyzed compounds were grouped according to their similar descriptors into 9 odorant terms (caramelized, floral, fresh, lactic, chemical, pungent, spicy, tree fruit, and tropical fruit). The ANOVA at 95 % of significance performed on the above terms distinguished between musts from dried and non-dried (control) grapes. Only the caramelized and floral terms were different for the three drying methods. The remainder terms (excepted lactic) were not distinguishable between the musts from two chamber- dried grapes. The OAVs of the terms were subjected to principal component analysis. PC1 and PC2 were found to account for 92.0 % of the total variance (63.1 % and 28.9 %, respectively). The scores on PC1 could suggest that the musts from dried-chamber grapes at 40 ºC exhibited better aroma characteristics that the remaining ones. In this sense, the controlled drying process at 40 ºC could improve the winemaking process of Pedro Ximenez sweet wines.

Uvalino wine: chemical and sensory profile

The evaluation of different chemical compounds present in Uvalino wines was correlated with sensory analysis. The analysis showed a high content of polyphenolic compounds responsible for the organoleptic properties of wine, including color, astringency and bitterness.

Volatile composition of base wines to obtain sparkling wines from seven autochthonous grape varieties from Castilla y León (Spain)

The aim of this work was to characterize the aromatic profile of white and rosé base wines for the elaboration of sparkling wines from seven autochthonous grape varieties of Castilla y León. The ‘Albarín’, ‘Godello’ and ‘Verdejo’ white grape cultivars contribute with more fruity notes than the ‘Viura’ and ‘Malvasía’ cultivars; and ‘Prieto picudo’ coloured grape cultivar has more fruity character than ‘Garnacha’.

Chemical and sensory evaluation of Bordeaux wines (Cabernet sauvignon and Merlot) and correlation with wine age

This study was carried out on 24 vintages of Cabernet sauvignon and on 7 vintages of Merlot produced by two different Bordeaux growing areas. Proanthocyanidin monomers and oligomers, and several parameters of the proanthocyanidin fraction were analytically assessed.

Brettanomyces bruxellensis and off-odours: genetic and proteomic approaches to unravel the molecular mechanism of ethyl-phenols production

Brettanomyces/Dekkera yeasts in wine are able to produce various spoilage compounds that are, at high concentration, detrimental to wine quality. The principal spoiler compounds associated with Brettanomyces spp. are vinyl and ethyl-phenols that are responsible for off- odours described as “animal”, “medicinal”, “sweaty leather”, “barnyard”, “spicy” and “clove-like”.

Oak wood influence on the organoleptic perception of red wine

Some wood substances such as ellagitannins (vescalagin, castalagin, grandinin, roburins (A, B, C, D, E)…) can be extracted during wine ageing in oak barrels. The level of these hydrolysable tannins in wine depends of the species and origin of oak wood as well as its treatment during barrel realization.
