SHIRAZ FLAVONOID EXTRACTABILITY IMPACTED BY HIGH AND EXTREME HIGH TEMPERATURES

Abstract

Climate change is leading to an increase in average temperature and in the severity and occurrence of heatwaves, and is already disrupting grapevine phenology. In Australia, with the evolution of the weather of grape growing regions that are already warm and hot, berry composition including flavonoids, for which biosynthesis depends on bunch microclimate, are expected to be impacted [1]. These compounds, such as anthocyanins and tannins, contribute substantially to grape and wine quality. The goal of this research was to determine how flavonoid extraction is impacted when bunches are ex-posed to high (>35 °C) and extreme high (>45 °C) temperatures during berry development and maturity. The sole effect of temperature was investigated on well-irrigated potted Shiraz grapevines grown in a glasshouse, where either the whole vine or bunches-only were heated using fans. For both experiments, berries were sampled at harvest, peeled, ground and total flavonoids were extracted using 60% acetone [2]. Two additional assays evaluated the potential temperature impact on subsequent wine composition using wine-like extraction (15% ethanol) [3] or micro-scale winemaking. Detailed tannin composition was primarily determined by LC-MS/MS after phloroglucinolysis [2], with complementary total tannin concentration (methyl cellulose precipitable assay). Secondary metabolites such as phenolic acid and anthocyanins were also analyzed.

The present work showed that short spells of high temperature may not impact on skin and seed tannin extractability when assessed on visually undamaged berries by harvest. Indeed, while total skin tannin concentrations, extracted with 60% acetone, were clearly reduced by a rise of temperature around véraison, skin extractable tannin (15% ethanol) and seed tannin concentrations were not impacted. In damaged berries at harvest, skin tannins were dramatically reduced while seed tannins were mostly preserved. Wine quality, made with a mix of heat-damaged and undamaged berries, was significantly reduced when about 20% (by mass) of the berries were visually damaged and necrotic, corresponding to about 50% of damaged berries (in number). Maintaining wine quality under a changing climate with more frequent extreme events leading to heat stress and/or water stress is challenging. However, this study showed that the impact of heatwaves in the vineyard may be compensated by a better extraction during winemaking and require further investigations at winery scales.

INSIGHT THE IMPACT OF GRAPE PRESSING ON MUST COMPOSITION

The pre-fermentative steps play a relevant role for the characteristics of white wine [1]. In particular, the grape pressing can affect the chemical composition and sensory profile and its optimized management leads to the desired extraction of aromas and their precursors, and phenols resulting in a balanced wine [2-4]. These aspects are important especially for must addressed to the sparkling wine as appropriate extraction of phenols is expected being dependent to grape composition, as well.

TARTARIC STABILIZATION MAY AFFECT THE COLOR AND POLYPHENOLIC COMPOSITION OF TANNAT RED WINES FROM URUGUAY

Tartrate precipitation affects the properties of wines, due to the formation of crystals that cause turbidity, even after being bottled. The forced tartaric stabilization is carried out frequently for young wines, through various physicochemical procedures. The traditional treatment for tartaric stabilization is refrigeration, but it can have a negative effect on wine’s sensory properties, and particularly on the color of red wines. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different tartaric stabilization options on the color and phenolic composition of Tannat red wines from Uruguay.

EVALUATION OF THE OENOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF NEW RESISTANT VARIETIES MEETING TYPICAL BORDEAUX CHARACTERISTICS

Varietal innovation is a major lever for meeting the challenges of the agro-ecological transition of vi-neyards and their adaptation to climate change. To date, selection work has already begun in the Bordeaux region through the Newvine project. The aim of this project is to create new vine varieties with resistance to mildew and powdery mildew, adapted to the climatic conditions of the Bordeaux region and enabling the production of wines that are in line with consumer tastes and the expected typicity of Bordeaux wines.

PROGRESS OF STUDIES OF LEES ORIGINATING FROM THE FIRST ALCOHOLIC FERMENTATION OF CHAMPAGNE WINES

Champagne wines are produced via a two-step process: the first is an initial alcoholic fermentation of grape must that produces a still base wine, followed by a second fermentation in bottle – the prise de mousse – that produces the effervescence. This appellation produces non-vintage sparkling wines composed of still base wines assembled from different vintages, varieties, and regions. These base wines, or “reserve wines,” are typically conserved on their fine lies and used to compensate for quality variance between vintages (1). Continuously blending small amounts of these reserve wines into newer ones also facilitates preserving the producer’s “house style.”

IDENTIFICATION OF NEW RESVERATROL DERIVATIVES FORMED IN RED WINE AND THEIR BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

Stilbenes are natural bioactive polyphenols produced by grapevine. Recently, we have reviewed the na- tural presence of these compounds in wines [1]. This study showed that the resveratrol and its glycoside, the piceid, are the most abundant stilbenes in wines. Resveratrol is a well-known stilbene with a wide range of biological activities. Due to its specific structure, resveratrol can be oxidized in wines to form various derivatives including oligomers [2]. In this study, we investigate the resveratrol and piceid transformation in wines.
