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.

Reviewing the geometry of terraces in the Douro region towards sustainable viticulture

The Douro demarcated region constitutes just over 50% of the area of mountain vineyard in the world, i.e., vineyards with slope gradients of 30% or above. Among the different (terraced) vineyard layouts, the formerly preferred wider terraces supporting two rows of vines and the currently advocated narrower single vine row, dominate the vineyards’ planting layout. The slope of these terraces, in other words, the supporting earth ramp, is a key element in these vineyards’ construction.

Sustainable geographical indications? Inclusion of sustainability criteria in the Denomination of Origin Campos de Cima da Serra, Brazil

The objective of this study is to assess the potential for integrating sustainability guidelines into Geographical Indications of wine, especially in the case of the Denomination of Origin Campos de Cima da Serra (CCS), Brazil.

Биотехнология в системе оздоровления и размножения комплексно-устойчивых сортов винограда на Юге России

The production of certified grape planting material is one of the most important problems in the Russian federation. According to the scheme for the production of healthy grape planting material, before being introduced into in vitro culture, the source plants of each variety (Moldova, Augustin, Bart) were individually assessed for typical varietal characteristics and the presence/absence of symptoms of infection by pests.

Chemical affinity and binding capacity between pre-purified Cabernet-Sauvignon/Merlot anthocyanins and salivary proteins monitored by UHPLC Q-ToF MS analysis

Apart from pro(antho)cyanidins and tannins, other phenolic compounds in wine or grapes have been shown to interact with salivary proteins and may contribute to overall sensory in-mouth sensations [1, 2]. Anthocyanins are the dominant phenolics in red wine and grape skin [3] , so it is expected that they come into contact and interact with salivary proteins after ingestion.
