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.

Soave beyond the zonation

In a previous zoning program (1998-2002), climatic and pedological factors were able to distinguish 14 terroir within the Soave DOC area where wine characteristics are well recognizable. Nevertheless, in the past vinegrowers identified several vineyards where a better quality of the grapes and wines could be obtained. So, « beyond the zonation » will aim to suggest a new methodology to characterise the Cru, starting with 15 vineyards that were selected in the Soave Classico DOC area. In the year 2005, a meteorological station was positioned in each vineyard and temperature data were collected; because of the limited area of investigation, only 3 rain sensors were set up.

A fast and sensitive method for total tannin determination in wine based on the substoichiometric quenching of silicon-rhodamine conjugates

Tannins are chemically diverse polyphenols contributing to important sensory attributes of food and beverages. In wine, their structure and quantity depend on several factors, such as the grape variety, climate, soil, viticultural and enological practices and the wine-aging process.

Building new temperature indexes for a local understanding of grapevine physiology

Aim: Temperature corresponds to one of the main terroir factors influencing grapevine physiology, primarily evidenced by its impact on phenology. Numerous studies have aimed at expressing time with thermal indices such as growing degree days (GDD) and have thus enabled a better modelling of grapevine responses to temperature. However, some works have highlighted the need to adapt

Direct-injection HPLC for simultaneous determination of individual and total polyphenols in red wines: validation of the method

Polyphenols are very important compounds of red wines, serving as essential bioactive components and playing an important role in sensory properties. The determination of individual phenolic compounds in red wine is commonly performed by HPLC analysis, while the total polyphenols are quantified by spectrophotometric methods, usually by the method of absorbance at 280 nm (index of ribéreau-gayon) or the method of index of folin-ciocalteu. In this work, we pioneeringly proposed a new and fast method for simultaneous determination of individual and total polyphenols in red wines by direct-injection HPLC without sample preparation.

“Garrigues”, part of the mediterranean vine terroirs

Les paysages viticoles méditerranéens présentent une originalité qui ne se retrouve nulle part ailleurs : ils associent des garrigues très odoriférantes à des parcelles de vignes souvent qualitatives. La connaissance empirique des vins du Languedoc par leurs dégustateurs a conduit la Chambre d’Agriculture de l’Hérault à supposer que les arômes de la garrigue environnante peuvent se retrouver dans les vins (arômes de ciste, de genévrier, … )
