Ripening of Vitis vinifera grapes varieties in São Joaquim, a new wine growing region, Southern Brazil

Abstract

This report has investigated the ripening characteristics of Vitis vinifera grapes Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah in two consecutive vintages (2006 and 2007), in order to evaluate the adaptation from these recently varieties planted in São Joaquim town, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. The berries had been collected at 10-day intervals from véraison to harvest and in have been analyzed at levels of pH, total acidity (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), maturation index (TSS/TA), total monomeric anthocyanins (TMA) (malvidin-3-glucoside, mg/100g skin), total polyphenols index (TPI), and Color Intensity (CI). At maturity, values of pH, TA and TSS ranged from 3.3 to 3.5; from 0.60 to 0.80 (mg of tartaric acid/100 mL) and from 19 to 23.5 ºBrix, respectively. Maturation index ranged from 29 to 40, and significant differences (p< 0.05) have been observed among different grapes varieties, but not between vintages. The values of TMA, TPI and CI ranged from 864.6 to 352.1; from 126.1 to 45.5 and from 20.66, respectively, and significant differences have been verified among varieties and also vintages (p< 0.05).

Postharvest elicitors and metabolic changes in wine grape berries

Wine grape berries respond to postharvest treatments with specific gaseous elicitors in terms of metabolic changes and composition. Short-term (3 days) high (30 KPa) CO2 treatment affects phenol compound concentration in skins of ‘Trebbiano toscano’ berries.

Thinner topsoil improves vine growth and fruit composition in Mid-Atlantic United States vineyards

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of topsoil thickness on dormant pruning weights, cluster compactness, and fruit composition (°Brix, titratable acidity, pH) in the Mid-Atlantic of the United States. 

«Nektar» -the new red variety wine grape aromatic high quality

The multi-annual study of the International Genetic Bank of the Grape Vine has shown that red varieties are enough, but the red varieties that produce high-quality red wine are minimal.

Application of a low-cost device VIS-NIRs-based for polyphenol monitoring during the vinification process

In red wine production, phenolic maturity is becoming increasingly important. Anthocyanins, flavonoids and total polyphenols content and availability significantly influence the harvest time of wine grapes while, during vinification process, their extraction strongly affects wine body, color and texture

OPTIMIZATION OF EXTRACTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN LC-HRMS METHOD TO QUANTIFY GLUTATHIONE IN WHITE WINE LEES AND YEAST DERIVATIVES

Glutathione is a natural tripeptide composed of l-glutamate, l-cysteine and glycine, found in various foods and beverages. In particular, glutathione can be found in its reduced (GSH) or oxidized form (GSSG) in must, wine or yeasts¹. Numerous studies have highlighted the importance of GSH in wine quality and aging potential². During winemaking, especially during aging on lees, GSH helps prevent the harmful effects of oxidation on the aroma of the wine³. Nevertheless, the amounts of GSH/GSSG present in wine lees are often unknown and the choice of operating conditions (quantity of lees and aging time) remains empirical.
