Effects of the addition of yeast derived products during aging in chardonnay sparkling winemaking

Abstract

AIM: From the beginning of the yeast autolysis process, several interesting intracellular and cell wall constituyents are released to the media providing different characteristics to the wine, being this process extensively studied in sparkling wines due to their important contribution to their properties (1-2). Yeast derived products (YDs) try to emulate the natural yeast autolysis compounds release enhancing the organoleptic characteristics of resulting wines (2-3). This study is a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of the addition of different YDs added to base wine on the chemical, physical and sensory characteristics of the resulting sparkling wines.

METHODS: Chardonnay base wine was employed to carry out this study. Three experimental YDs were added at 5 and 10 g/hL to the tirage liqueur: a yeast autolysate (YA), a yeast protein extract (PE) and an inactivated dry yeast from Torulaspora delbrueckii, (TD), and two commercial specific inactivated dry yeast: OPTIMUM WHITE® (OW) and PURE-LONGEVITY®(PL). After second fermentation, measurements were carried out after 3, 6, 9 and 18 months of aging on lees. General enological parameters, proteins, polysaccharides (HPLC-DAD-RID), volatile compounds profile (GC-MS), foaming characteristics (Mosalux), and descriptive sensory analyses were carried out.

RESULTS: Esters decreased significantly for all the YDs added along the first 9 months unless for the cases of YE and OW. However, from 9 to 18 months of aging, the total amount of esters increased in all the treatments except YE and OW, specially remarkable was the increase for wines treated with TD. Terpenes diminished significantly from 9 to 18 months of aging exceptuating again the treatment TD, in where the presence of these compounds increased. Hence, for the production of sparkling wines with a short aging period it would be recommended the addition of YE or OW, and for long aging, TD. No significant differences of the total amount of volatile compounds were found among the different dosages of derivatives tested. After 9 months of aging, YA and OW accounted the highest foamability, specially for the highest dose. In general, the addition of YDs decreased significantly the time to reach the maximum high (TM) of the foam (HM) in wines aged 9 months. Moreover, the addition of YA and OW gave rise to the sparkling wines with the highest foam stability (HS). Sensory trials showed that the differences between aging periods (9 and 18 months) were higher than differences among YDs treatments.

CONCLUSIONS:

Several secondary metabolites and foam characteristecs were positively influenced by YDs addition to the wines. This, join to the expectations of aging time for that wine, will be essential to decide which of the YDs is better to use during the production of sparkling wines by traditional method.

Cover crops under-vine impact on grapevine performance and vineyard soil microorganisms is highly affected by edaphoclimatic conditions at a regional scale

Soil management through cover crops can influence the cycle of nutrients, promote water infiltration, decrease erosion, and enhance the soil microbiota biodiversity, improving the grapevine performance. However, the area under the vines tends to be left bare by applying herbicides or tillage to avoid competition with the crop in semi-arid climates. Use of covers under-vine might be an alternative to these practices aiming at grapevine quality and soil health improvement. The aim of this research was to study the implications of soil management under the vines (cultivation and cover crops) on growth, yield, berry composition and soil microbial communities. A cover crop composed by a mixture of legumes was sown and compared with a control (cultivation), which includes frequent tillage to keep the soil bare, in three areas characterized by different edaphoclimatic conditions in the region of Navarra.

Wine growing regions global climate analysis

We depict the main features of five viticulture agroclimatic indices for 626 wine growing regions within 41 countries.

UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy as a tool for predicting volatile compounds in grape must

The wine sector is one of the most significant industries worldwide, with Spain being a leading country in wine production and export. A key factor in wine quality is its aroma, which is directly influenced by the volatile compounds present in the grape, with terpenes being among the most significant contributors.

Assay of distinct modes of polysaccharidases dosage in vinification with cv. Malbec. Effects on microbiological evolution, color and skin depletion

In the maceration stage of winemaking, enzymes can be used to degrade the polysaccharides present in the cell walls and middle sheets, and thus facilitate the extraction of juice and the release of polyphenols and aroma precursors retained in the grape skins.

Low and zero alcohol “wines”: impact of different dealcoholization processes on phenol profile and health benefits

Consumers’ demand for non-alcoholic wine has notably increased in the last years: this trend is a consequence of a growing interest in more healthy habits, and as a response to higher alcohol levels in wine due to climate change. In addition, drinking limitations due to physiological/pathological conditions (e.g., pregnancy, diabetes, hepatic disorders), driving regulations, ethical/religious considerations, and high import taxes on alcoholic beverages have positively influenced this marked (us$ 1.6 billion in 2021). International organisation of vine and wine (OIV) established that alcohol content defining wines must not be less than 8.5% vol, (OIV, 2017).
