Which heat test really represents the haze risk of a white Sauvignon wine ?

Abstract

AIM: Different heat tests are used to predict a white wine haze risk after bottling. The most used tests are 30-60 min. at 80°C. Nevertheless, there is a lack of information about the relationship between the wine haze observed after such tests and the turbidities observed in the bottles after the storage/transport of the wines in more realistic Summer conditions (35-46°C during 3-12 days).

 METHODS: 24 Sauvignon wines (Loire Valley – France) produced during the vintages 2018 and 2019 were studied. Six heat tests were applied on during 5-30-60 min. at 80°C and during 30-60-120 min. at 50°C. The results were compared with the turbidity reached by the wines under Summer conditions (35 to 46°C, from 1 to 14 days) and representing 6 tests too. The Pearson correlation coefficients (PCC) were calculated for all of these 12 heat tests when compared two by two.

RESULTS: The turbidities of the wines subjected to Summer temperature conditions (35-43°C) were highly correlated with the turbidities developed by the Sauvignon wines after heating 30 or 60 min. at 50°C (0.980

Evolution of the metabolic profile of grapes in a context of climate change

In the current context of global climate change, anticipating the evolution of the oenological potential of emblematic grape varieties of regions such as Burgundy and Champagne is a guarantee of the sustainability of a sector which has considerable economic weight. however, if various models of climate change cast doubt on the sustainability of these grape varieties in these regions, appellation decrees, as well as consumer expectations, do not allow or consider the use of alternative grape varieties. In addition, control/compensation methods such as irrigation are also not permitted.
