New markers for monitoring “fresh mushroom aroma” in wine: A dual approach using microbiological and chemical tools from the vineyard to winery–A synthesis of recent research advances

Abstract

The “fresh mushroom aroma” has been recognized by the wine industry as an emerging defect since the 2000s. For many years, this off-flavour was not specifically characterized and rather grouped under “earthy” and “musty” taints. However, it has become increasingly problematic due to its rising prevalence. After five years of collaborative research, new markers have been identified for monitoring this novel risk. These findings enhance our understanding of the “fresh mushroom off-flavour” throughout the entire winemaking process, from vineyard cultivation to wine production. The first part focused on determining mycobiota dynamics from vine to wine and identified members of the Penicillium genus as specifically associated with this off-flavour in wines. The second part provided practical benefits for oenologists as we identified a new chemical marker most likely associated with the early stages of this defect development. 1- hydroxyoctan-3-one was identified for the first time as a significant volatile marker involved in “fresh mushroom aroma”. Combined together, these research advances expand our current knowledge, and provide novel solutions and tools for effectively preventing “fresh mushroom aroma” off-flavour in wines.

Nuovi marcatori per la valutazione del rischio dell’aroma di ‘fungho frescho’ nei vini: un duplice approccio utilizzando strumenti microbiologici e chimici dalla vigna alla cantina

L’aroma di ‘fungho fresoi’ è stato riconosciuto dall’industria vinicola come un difetto emergente a partire dagli anni 2000. Per molti anni, questo aroma non era stato specificamente caratterizzato ed era piuttosto raggruppato sotto le etichette di odori ‘terrosi’ e ‘muffiti’. Tuttavia, è diventato sempre più problematico a causa della sua crescente prevalenza. In alcune vigne, gli episodi di questo aroma si verificanocon una frequenza quasi quinquennale. Questa tendenza potrebbe essere associata ai cambiamenti climatici che interessano regioni più inclini a stagioni calde e umide. Dopo cinque anni di ricerca collaborativa, che ha coinvolto istituti accademici, organizzazioni interprofessionali e partner del settore privato, sono stati identificati nuovi marcatori per valutare questo nuovo rischio. Queste scoperte migliorano la nostra comprensione dell’aroma di ‘fungo fresco’ lungo l’intero processo di produzione del vino, dalla coltivazione del vigneto alla produzione del vino. La nostra strategia di ricerca ha utilizzato un approccio duplice e allo stesso tempo altamente originale. Il primo pacchetto di lavoro si è concentrato sulla determinazione dell’evoluzione del micobiota dalla vite al vino. Abbiamo identificato generi microbici specifici associati a questo aroma nei vini (Destanque et al., 2024). Il secondo pacchetto di lavoro ha fornito benefici pratici per gli enologi attarverso l’identificazione di un nuovo marcatore chimico probabilmente associato alle prime fasi dello sviluppo di questo difetto. Il composto 1-idrossi-ottan-3-one è stato identificato per la prima volta (Delcros et al., 2023) come un importante marcatore volatile coinvolto nell’aroma da fungo fresco. Combinati insieme, questi progressi nella ricerca espandono la nostra conoscenza attuale e forniscono soluzioni e strumenti innovativi per prevenire efficacemente l’aroma di ‘fungo fresco’ nei vini.” 

De nouveaux marqueurs pour l’évaluation du risque « d’arôme de champignon frais » dans le vin : une double approche microbiologique et chimique conduite de la vigne au vin

Depuis les années 2000, le défaut « arôme de champignon frais » semble être de plus en plus fréquemment rencontré par les professionnels de la filière viticole. Historiquement classé parmi les défauts « moisi – terreux », il est aujourd’hui spécifiquement décrit et sa prévalence croissante en fait un sujet de préoccupation. Dans certains vignobles, son incidence peut être de l’ordre d’une fois tous les cinq ans. Cette tendance pourrait être liée aux changements climatiques affectant ces régions plus souvent soumises à des épisodes chauds et humides. Fruit d’une collaboration soutenue de cinq années impliquant des centres de recherche académiques, des organisations interprofessionnelles et des partenaires du secteur privé, de nouveaux marqueurs ont été identifiés pour caractériser et évaluer ce risque. Aujourd’hui, ces découvertes améliorent notre compréhension du défaut « arôme de champignon frais » tout au long du process de vinification, depuis le raisin jusqu’au produit fini L’originalité de notre stratégie de recherche a été de privilégier une approche multidisciplinaire sur les domaines de la microbiologie et ceux de la chimie. Le premier volet des travaux s’est concentré sur la caractérisation et l’évolution du mycobiote de la vigne au vin. Nous avons ainsi identifié des genres microbiens spécifiquement associés au défaut « arôme de champignon frais » dans les vins (Destanque et al., 2024). Le second volet de nos travaux a conduit à l’identification d’un nouveau marqueur chimique, utilisable par les œnologues et probablement associé à des stades précoces de l’apparition de ce défaut. Cette nouvelle molécule, la 1-hydroxy-octan-3-one, a été identifiée et caractérisée pour la première fois dans les vins (Delcros et al., 2023) et décrite comme un marqueur significatif de « l’arôme champignon frais ». Combinées, ces différentes avancées élargissent nos connaissances actuelles et fournissent de nouvelles solutions, de nouveaux outils, pour anticiper l’apparition du défaut « arôme de champignon frais » dans les vins.

Automated red microvinification (1kg) adapted to the needs of varietal innovation

The creation of disease-resistant varieties adapted to climate change is a key challenge for the future of the wine industry. At present, the selection of these new varieties is essentially based on screening for genetic markers of resistance and agronomic criteria, due to the small number of vines available per genotype. Integrating screening for oenological criteria into the early stages of selection would speed up this process.

LCA: an effective, generalizable method for wine ecodesign? Advantages and limitations

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an effective and comprehensive method for evaluating the environmental impact of a product, considering its entire life cycle. In the context of wine production, although the use of lca is gaining ground in viticulture, its application is still limited to the fine assessment of winemaking processes.

Late pruning as a tool to reduce the risk of spring frosts in a vineyard in Rioja Alavesa (DO Ca Rioja)

The increase in temperature caused by climate change produces an earlier budbreak date that affects the vineyard, which generates a greater risk of damage by spring frosts.

Enhancing grapevine transformation and regeneration: A novel approach using developmental regulators and BeYDV-mediated expression

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a challenging plant species to transform and regenerate due to its complex genome and biological characteristics. This limits the development of cisgenic and gene-edited varieties. One hurdle is selecting the best starting tissue for the transformation process, much like isolating suitable tissue for protoplasts. One promising method involves delivering crispr/cas components to protoplasts isolated from embryogenic calli, which are then induced to regenerate.

The heritage behind the very old vineyards – The novelty with tradition for the future 

In Portugal, the prospection and conservation of representative samples of intra-varietal variability of grapevine has been carried out for 46 years, and in 2010 an infrastructure was created for the conservation of all these genetic resources – the portuguese association for grapevine diversity (porvid) experimental centre for the conservation of grapevine diversity. the aim is to save the genetic identity of ancient varieties to prevent their imminent loss and to preserve the raw material for current and future selections, thus adding economic value and sustainability to the vine and wine sector.
