Effect of quercus alba oak barrels from different forest on the volatile composition of Tempranillo wines

Abstract

AIM: The species and origin used for red wine oak aging determines the physiological composition of the wood and thus the finished wines. In America, oak is grown primarily in the states of Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky, Oregon, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin and California. The aim of this study is to analyze how the choice of barrels made with Quercus Alba oak from different geographic areas of the United States (Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania) influences the volatile composition of the Tempranillo wines.

METHODS: In this study, three different Tempranillo wines were aged for 6 months in new 225-liter American oak barrels (medium toast degree) from different forest of the United States: Missouri, Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania. These barrels were made by the Toneleria Murua in 2018 and the experiences were carried out in three wineries of the D.O.Ca Rioja. Samples were taken when wine was introduced into the barrel, and after 6 months of aging. The volatile compounds of the wines were quantified by gas chromatography with a mass detector (GC-MS) after liquid-liquid extraction of the volatile fraction as described by Oliveira et al. (2008).

RESULTS: The different oak origins did not affect the total content of the volatile families of C6 alcohols, acetates, volatile acids, lactones, carbonyl compounds and volatile phenols. On the contrary, the wines aged on oak from Pennsylvania showed significantly higher values of higher alcohols and ethyl esters. Regarding the individual compounds, wines aged on Pennsylvania barrels showed higher concentrations of whisky lactones. 

CONCLUSIONS

The results obtained in the present study could help for selecting the oak origin that best suited to the different wines.

Role of Grape-Extractable Polyphenols in the Generation of Strecker Aldehydes and in the Instability of Polyfunctional Mercaptans during Wine Oxidation

Wine longevity is a complex multifactor phenomenon in which the weight of the different factors is not well known. One of the key factors of wine longevity is related to its resistance to oxidation. This property can be defined as the ability of the wine, under an exposure to oxygen, to keep its color, avoid accumulation of acetaldehyde and Strecker aldehydes (SA), and keep as long as

Winemaking is a complex microbial process involving the co-existence and interactions of various microorganisms [1].

Effects of soil characteristics on manganese transfer from soil to vine and wine

Aim: In recent times the export of Beaujolais wines has been jeopardised due to a limit of manganese content (Mn) in wine implemented by China (2 mg/L), related to suspicions of potassium permanganate fraud. Nevertheless, soil Mn content may be high in some soil types in Beaujolais. The aim of this study was to improve knowledge of manganese transfer from soil to vine and wine because data on this subject is scarce.

Multicriteria assessment of 11 agroecological viticulture systems during six years

Context and purpose of the study. Modern conventional agriculture, including viticulture, relies greatly on the use of chemical inputs, especially synthetic pesticides.

Study of yeast biocatalytic activity on grape aroma compounds

Many volatile compounds of different chemical/biochemical origin contribute to wine aroma. Certain key ‘varietal’ aroma compounds such as methoxypyrazines are formed in the grape and appear to be only scarcely influenced by fermentation.

THE ODORIFEROUS VOLATILE CHEMICALS BEHIND THE OXIDATIVE AROMA DEGRADATION OF SPANISH RED WINES

It is a well-established fact that premature oxidation is noxious for wine aromatic quality and longevity. Although some oxidation-related aroma molecules have been previously identified, there are not works carrying out systematic research about the changes in the profiles of odour-active volatiles during wine oxidation.
