Effects of winemaking practices on Pinot blanc quality

Abstract

AIM: Two winemaking processes for Pinot blanc were investigated following the chemical and sensory profiles for 12 months, aiming at: i) determining the chemical and sensory profiles, ii) correlating the sensory descriptors with the chemical profiles, iii) evaluating the overall quality of the Pinot blanc wines.

METHODS: The harvested grapes (2018) were processed in an experimental and control vinifications. The experimental vinifications included a prefermentative cold maceration, yeast autolysate addition and bentonite treatment. GC-MS, HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS (chemical) and QDA (sensory) techniques were applied.

RESULTS: Specific phenols differentiated the two wines. Several volatile esters contributed more to the controls. Higher alcohols characterized the experimental wines. The controls got a higher overall quality judgment up to nine months.

CONCLUSIONS

The pre-fermentative maceration was the operation most differentiating the wines. The control wine displayed a faster change in the volatile and sensory profiles. The experimental wine showed a faster evolution of the phenolic profile. The sensory analysis described the key differences and the evolution of the sensory aspects.

Yield characteristics and environmental effects of plastic covers on table grape with relation to chemical, physical, radiometric and satellite analyses

Climate change poses a significant challenge for global viticulture, with growing evidence of its negative impact on thermal and hydric regimes, both of which are essential for the development of table grapes.

Phenolic composition and physicochemical analysis of wines made with the syrah grape under double pruning in the Brazilian high-altitude cerrado

Wine growing has proven to be a development opportunity for agribusiness in several new regions of brazil, including the federal district. There are more than ten existing wineries, established in the last five years. Through the double pruning system, which consists of trimming the growing shoots in the summer and positioning the ripening of the fruits in a cooler period of the season, the grapes are sought to ripen more completely. The syrah variety has shown excellent adaptation to this cycle management model.

Wine shaking during transportation: influence on the analytical and sensory parameters of wine

According to OIV reports, annual world wine consumption fluctuated around 240-245 mln hL over the past decade. The general market globalization has led to the situation when almost half of the consumed wine is exported to other countries. Of this volume, more than 60 mln hL are bottled still and sparkling wines.

Effect of foliar treatment of methyl jasmonate and nanoparticles doped with methyl jasmonate on Monastrell grape skin cell wall

The use of elicitors to promote the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in grapes has been tackled in several reports, however its study linked to nanotechnology is less developed.

Rare earth elements in grapes and soil: study of different soil extraction methods

Lanthanides, together with scandium and yttrium, make up the group of Rare Earth Elements (REEs). An official method for analysis of the bioavailable REEs accumulated by plants, depending mainly on soil characteristics, chemical speciation in soil and the specific ability of the plant, is still lacking.
