Proanthocyanin composition in new varieties from monastrell

Abstract

AIM: Proanthocyanidins are responsible in an important way for positive aspects in wines, such as body and color stability in red wines, but they are also responsible for sensory characteristics that can be negative for their quality when found in excessive concentrations. In an effort of increasing our understanding of crosses from Monastrell, it has been studied their proanthocyanidin composition during three seasons. Besides, it is important the idea of registering new varieties of red grapes from Monastrell adapted to the new climatic scenario produced in the South East of Spain, with an excellent polyphenolic capacity.

METHODS: A quantitative analysis was carried out during three seasons (2018, 2019 and 2020) in order to study and compare the obtained concentration of proanthocyanidins in Monastrell and the new varieties MC80 (Monastrell x Cabernet-Sauvignon), MC98, MS10 (Monastrell x Syrah), MC4 and MC18. The analysis was carried out in grapes as well as in the final of alcoholic fermentation in order to study its extraction capacity. The analyzes were performed and quantified following the fluoroglycinolysis method.

RESULTS: In general, the results showed higher concentrations in tannins in the most hybrids of Monastrell for the three seasons studied.Furthermore, a higher concentration of epigallocatechin was found in most of the hybrid wines elaborated, being positive from an organoleptic point of view, since this compound provides softness to the wines. However, MC4 is characterized by its low concentration of this compound although these values could be normal since the concentration of tannins in this variety is much lower with respect to the other hybrids. Another of the compounds of interest analyzed was epicatequinogalate, this compound was also found in higher concentrations in hybrids analysed than in Monastrell variety.Finally, It should be noted that the relationship between the average degree of polymerization of the tannins and the percentage of gallolation was much higher in the seeds than in the elaborated wines or in the skins.

CONCLUSIONS

These new varieties ensuring its incredible polyphenolic concentration showing a great potential as new varieties adapted to the dry and hot conditions produced in the south east of Spain

Physiological and growth reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt to row orientation and soil water status

Advanced knowledge on grapevine row orientation is required to improve establishment, management and outcomes of vineyards on terroirs with different environmental conditions (climate, soil, topography) and in view of a future change to more extreme climatic conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of row orientation, plant water status and ripeness level on the physiological and viticultural reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt.

Effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California

San Joaquin Valley accounts for 40% of wine grape acreage and produces 70% of wine grape in California. Fruit quality is one of most important factors which impact the economical sustainability of farming wine grapes in this region. Due to the recent drought and expected labor cost increase, the wine industry is thrilled to understand how to improve fruit quality while maintaining the yield with less water and labor input. The present study aims to study the interactive effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on yield and berry compositions of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California.

The effects of cane girdling on berry texture properties and the concentration of some aroma compounds in three table grape cultivars

The marketability of the table grapes is highly influenced by the consumer demand; therefore the market value of the table grapes is mainly characterized by its berry size, colour, taste and texture. Girdling could cause accumulation of several components in plants above the ringing of the phloem including clusters and resulting improved maturity. The aim of the experiments was to examine the effect of girdling on berry texture characteristics and aroma concentration.

Application of a fluorescence-based method to evaluate the ripening process and quality of Pinot Blanc grape

The chemical composition of grape berries at harvest is one of the most important factors that should be considered to produce high quality wines. Among the different chemical classes which characterize the grape juice, the polyphenolic compound, such as flavonoids, contribute to the final taste and color of wines. Recently, an innovative non-destructive method, based on chlorophyll fluorescence, was developed to estimate the phenolic maturity of red grape varieties through the evaluation of anthocyanins accumulated in the berry skin. To date, only few data are available about the application of this method on white grape varieties.

Different yield regulation strategies in semi-minimal-pruned hedge (SMPH) and impact on bunch architecture

Yields in the novel viticulture training system Semi-Minimal-Pruned Hedge (SMPH) are generally higher compared to the traditional Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP). Excessive yields have a negative impact on the vine and wine quality, which can result in substantial losses in yield in subsequent vintages (alternate bearing) or penalties in fruit quality. Therefore yield regulation is essential. The bunch architecture in SMPH differs from VSP. Generally there is a higher amount but smaller bunches with lower single berry weights in SMPH compared to VSP.
