Evolution of cabernet sauvignon wines macerated with their own toasted vine-shoots

Abstract

Toasted pruning vine-shoots represent a promising new enological tool for developing wines with chemical and organoleptic high quality, allowing that the resources of the vineyard to be returned to the wine through a “circular process”.
In this work, Cabernet Sauvignon wines were macerated after malolactic fermentation with their own toasted vine-shoots fragments in two different doses and after removed them, aged in bottle. The quality of wines was analyzed at bottling time and after  120 days, in terms of phenolic compounds by HPLC-DAD, volatile composition by SBSE-GC-MS and at sensory level by a specific scorecard.
Regarding volatile compounds, results showed that at bottling time the greatest differences with respect to the control wine were observed when the lowest dose of toasted vine-shoots was used. These wines showed an increase in the total of alcohols and aldehydes, along with some volatile phenols such as guaiacol or syringol and some terpenes as geraniol or linalool. However, after  bottling time the content of volatile compounds in wines from vine-shoot treatments increased significantly to higher total levels of volatile compounds than the control wine. Moreover, vanillin was detected in all wines after ageing in bottle with slightly higher content in wines macerated with the lowest dosage of vine-shoots.
In terms of phenolic compounds, wines elaborated in contact with vine-shoots showed a lower content of total phenolic compounds than the control wine at bottling time.
Nevertheless, after  bottling time, wines treated with the lower dose of vine-shoots showed an increase in total phenolic compounds until similar levels of control wine, which reduced their content along bottling. This suggests a better evolution of wines macerated with lower doses of toasted vine-shoots. In detail, stilbenes were the only family of phenolic compounds that increased its concentration as a consequence of vine-shoots maceration. trans-Resveratrol increased significantly when vine-shoots were used, reaching levels up to 9 times higher than the control wine, and viniferine was observed at the endo of bottling time in all wines, but with a higher concentration in treated wines. In addition, and as expected, the total anthocyanin content was reduced in all wines with bottle aging, which was less in wines from the lowest dose of vine-shoots.
Finally, in terms of sensory analysis, wines from vine-shoots treatments showed enhanced notes like nuts, toasted, and sweet woody, being this last one associated with the use of toasted vine-shoots, as well as a reduction in the vegetal descriptors characteristic of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety.

The rootstock, the neglected player in the scion transpiration even during the night

Water is the main limiting factor for yield in viticulture. Improving drought adaptation in viticulture will be an increasingly important issue under climate change. Genetic variability of water deficit responses in grapevine partly results from the rootstocks, making them an attractive and relevant mean to achieve adaptation without changing the scion genotype. The objective of this work was to characterize the rootstock effect on the diurnal regulation of scion transpiration. A large panel of 55 commercial genotypes were grafted onto Cabernet Sauvignon. Three biological repetitions per genotype were analyzed. Potted plants were phenotyped on a greenhouse balance platform capable of assessing real-time water use and maintaining a targeted water deficit intensity. After a 10 days well-watered baseline period, an increasing water deficit was applied for 10 days, followed by a stable water deficit stress for 7 days. Pruning weight, root and aerial dry weight and transpiration were recorded and the experiment was repeated during two years. Transpiration efficiency (ratio between aerial biomass and transpiration) was calculated and δ13C was measured in leaves for the baseline and stable water deficit periods. A large genetic variability was observed within the panel. The rootstock had a significant impact on nocturnal transpiration which was also strongly and positively correlated with maximum daytime transpiration. The correlations with growth and water use efficiency related traits will be discussed. Transpiration data were also related with VPD and soil water content demonstrating the influence of environmental conditions on transpiration. These results highlighted the role of the rootstock in modulating water deficit responses and give insights for rootstock breeding programs aimed at identifying drought tolerant rootstocks. It was also helpful to better define the mechanisms on which the drought tolerance in grapevine rootstocks is based on.

Global warming is one of the biggest environmental, social and economic threats in several viticultural regions. In the Douro Valley, changes are expected in the coming years, namely an increase in temperature and a decrease in precipitation. These changes are likely to have consequences for the production and quality of wine.

Effect of the addition of polysaccharides extracted for grape pomace and must on sensory and chemical composition of white wines

AIM: The objective of this work is to study the effect of the addition of polysaccharides extracted for grape pomace by-products and musts on sensory and chemical composition of white wines. Much of the waste obtained in the wine sector is not used, and they can have some valuable compounds, such as the polysaccharides (PS).
