Effect of Esca disease on the phenolic and sensory attributes of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes,musts and wines

Background and Aims: The impact of Esca, a cryptogamic disease affecting woody tissues of grapevines (trunk, branches and shoots), was investigated on phenolic and sensory qualities of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, derived musts and wines. Methods and Results: Global phenolic analyses revealed no major difference between healthy and affected grapes whereas high‐performance liquid chromatography analyses showed decreases in the skin concentrations of catechin and epicatechin and of anthocyanins for the two vintages assessed. Proanthocyanidin characteristics, and particularly mean degree of polymerisation, were strongly decreased in skin proanthocyanidin polymeric fractions. Chemical analyses of wines made with different percentages of fruit from Esca infected grapevines confirmed the moderate impact of Esca on phenolic composition. Nevertheless, sensory analyses revealed a loss of wine sensory quality perceptible with as little as 5% of affected fruit in wines. Conclusions: Phenolic variations in grapes and in derived wines may be related to changes to grapevine physiology caused by Esca fungi that impact on flavonoid metabolism. The chemical and sensory variations between wines can also be related to the delayed ripening delay of fruit from Esca infected grapevines. Significance of the Study: Esca moderately affected the phenolic composition of grapes and decreased the sensory quality of wines, suggesting a dramatic increase in the economic importance of Esca if no control methods are found.     

Ripe rot of south‐eastern Australian wine grapes is caused by two species of Colletotrichum: C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides with differences in infection and fungicide sensitivity

Background and Aims: Ripe rot of grapes is widespread in subtropical vineyards of south‐eastern Australia. We aimed to re‐evaluate the causative agent(s), berry susceptibility, fungicide sensitivity and differences in histopathology. Methods and Results: Both Colletotrichum acutatum and C. gloeosporioides were shown to be responsible for ripe rot in three vineyards surveyed in the Hastings Valley, NSW in 2007 and 2009. Observation on detached berries of Vitis vinifera (cv. Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay) revealed that C. acutatum had a faster infection rate than C. gloeosporioides. C. acutatum also formed appressoria and penetrated grape tissue faster than C. gloeosporioides, which produced longer hyphae on the berry surface before penetration. Both C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides produced acervuli 48 h after inoculation. In contrast, spore germination rates and growth rates on potato dextrose agar were greater for C. gloeosporioides. The two species differed in their sensitivity to the fungicides benomyl, captan and triadimenol. C. acutatum was significantly more sensitive to captan and triadimenol, whereas C. gloeosporioides was more sensitive to benomyl. Conclusions: Both C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides cause ripe rot of wine grapes in Australia. Subtle differences in the infection process may explain the relative prevalence of the two species. Significance of the Study: This study confirms the involvement of C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides in ripe rot of grapes in Australia. Knowledge of growth characteristics and fungicide sensitivity of ripe rot pathogens should aid disease management strategies.

Effect of sulphur dioxide and must extraction on colour,phenolic composition and sensory quality of red table wine

Red wines were made during 1992 from Vitis vinifera var Roriz grapes using a high and a low level of extraction and three levels of total sulphur dioxide (0, 75 and 150 mg SO₂ kg⁻¹). From this single experiment, the effects of total SO₂ and extraction on anthocyanin composition and colour were observed by HPLC, spectrophotometry and tristimulus colorimetry. High extraction produced a wine with more total pigments and total phenols than low extraction and increased the amount of organic acids extracted during fermentation. More anthocyanins were extracted with increasing SO₂ levels. On maturation, all wines lost colour and increased in brownness. Wines made without SO₂ browned more than the wines made with SO₂. The anthocyanins normally present in wines were all rapidly lost to trace levels at 24 months. Vitisin A, a more stable and highly coloured anthocyanin than malvidin 3-glucoside, showed a slower decrease in concentration than malvidin 3-glucoside and contributed significantly to the wine colour during aging. At the first analysis, the wines made without SO₂ had a higher percentage colour due to polymers than the wines made with SO₂. Polymerisation progressed during maturation, although the initial differences were maintained. Sensory analysis after 6 and 18 months storage by expert tasters revealed differences mainly related to the colour attributes, indicating that when wines are made using modern hygienic techniques, total SO₂ has a negligible effect on aroma and flavour attributes. © 1998 Society of Chemical Industry.

Evolution of polyphenolic compounds in red wine from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes processed by pulsed electric fields during aging in bottle

The evolution of the Folin–Ciocalteu index, colour intensity and the principal individual polyphenols throughout 12 months of aging in bottles of red wine from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes treated and untreated by pulsed electric fields (PEF) have been compared. PEF technology allowed bottling of wines with higher Folin–Ciocalteu index, colour intensity and individual polyphenols concentrations using a shorter maceration time. For both wines, aging did not affect the colour intensity, whereas the Folin–Ciocalteu index decreased. The evolution of the principal individual polyphenols during the 12 months of storage followed a similar pattern in both wines. At the end of aging, there were no significant differences observed in the content of monomeric anthocyanins between both wines, however, the content of flavan-3-ols, flavonols and hydroxycinnamic acids and derivatives was higher in PEF treated wine. These results indicate that PEF could be a suitable technology for obtaining wines with higher phenolic content or reducing the maceration time during vinification.     

中国霞多丽、赤霞珠葡萄酒感官特征描述词分析

葡萄酒是人和自然相结合的产物,不同的品种、不同的产区其感官质量有很大的差异,即使同一品种在不同的生态区,其感官质量和风格也不相同。过去由于我们没有进行葡萄酒感官特征词汇的统计分析,对于产地葡萄酒、品种葡萄酒的认识很模糊,无法区分同一品种在不同的生态区的典型特征,也无法说明某一品种葡萄酒在特定的生态区的典型特征,和国外相比有很大的差距。由于霞多丽和赤霞珠是目前世界上干白、干红葡萄酒中最具有代表性的品种之一,而且在中国也有大面积的种植,很多产区都有这两个品种,而且在中国还没有进行这方面的研究,因此我们对霞多丽…     

Phenolic composition and sensory characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon wines: effect of water stress and harvest date

The effect of three water status level and two harvest date 55 and 64 days after veraison (DAV) on phenolic and sensory composition of Cabernet Sauvignon wines were investigated. The later harvest date led to wine with a higher alcohol content. Total phenols varied from 1439.66 to 1643.08 mg L^?1 with higher values at 64 DAV. No differences were observed between irrigation treatments. For total tannins and anthocyanins, no differences were found between harvest date. Separation of proanthocyanidins by Sep‐Pak Plus tC₁₈ cartridges showed only differences in concentration but not in the proportion of proanthocyanidin fractions. The wines from the most restricted treatment had a better colour and the same aroma of red fruits, persistence, astringency, fullness and bitterness, as the wine from the treatment with highest irrigation. Under the assay conditions, it was possible to obtain wines with a similar chemical and sensory composition earlier and using less irrigation water.     

Volatile composition and aromatic attributes of wine made with Vitisvinifera L.cv Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in the Xinjiang region of China: effect of different commercial yeasts

The Xinjiang region is a major grape- and wine-production area in China, but the region’s notably high temperatures in the summer and year-round intense sun exposure play negative roles in the aroma, complexity, and elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon wine. In this study, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes harvested in this region were fermented on an industrial scale using four commercial yeast strains (L2323, D254, RVA, and CECA) and spontaneous yeast (NF). The results showed that a total of 123 volatile compounds were detected and 15 volatile compounds significantly contributed their flavor notes to the wine’s overall aroma. The use of RVA and CECA strains resulted in wine with higher concentrations of higher alcohols, terpenes and norisoprenoids. However, the D254-fermented wine showed high level of esters and carbonyl compounds. Wine fermented with the L2323 and D254 strain possessed a stronger fruity aroma, whereas the RVA strain enhanced the herbaceous, chemical, and fatty aromas in wine. Principal component analysis revealed that a significant aromatic feature difference was observed in these wines after alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The use of different commercial yeast strains altered the aromatic profile of Cabernet Sauvignon wine.     

Fractionation of Sauvignon wine macromolecules by ultrafiltration and diafiltration: impact of protein composition on white wine haze stability

After ultrafiltration (UF) thermally unstable compounds of Sauvignon blanc wines were concentrated in the retentate fractions of 10–30 kDa increasing heat‐induced haze 8.9‐fold, while concentrating haze stabilising species into the retentate fractions of 100–300 kDa with a 5.3‐fold reduction of heat‐induced haze compared to unfiltered wine. Proteins having molecular weights of 18, 23, 33, 35, 40 and 60 kDa were identified as the main haze promoting agents for Sauvignon blanc, where the proteins of 56, 69 and 72 kDa were identified as thermally stable. Potassium sulphate (100 mg L^?1) and magnesium sulphate (25 mg L^?1) did not affect wine haziness at experimental diafiltration (DF) conditions using model wine solutions. Combination of UF and DF is a useful separation method of wine proteins, which is helpful to quantify haziness of individual species and to reveal the interactions between species involving protein haze.

Phenolic composition,colour, antioxidant activity and mineral profile of Cabernet Sauvignon wines

Phenolic compounds and mineral content constitute important quality parameters of wines. It is probably during ageing, that the greatest number of polymerisation and condensation reactions occurs, notably modifying the composition of the wine. The aim of this study was to characterise Cabernet Sauvignon wines of different vintages from two regions in Santa Catarina State, Brazil. It was not possible to clearly observe an evolution of the phenolic content and colour parameters in the different vintages of the wines. The ABTS method gave higher antioxidant value than DPPH, which showed higher correlation with total polyphenols. Principal components analysis showed differences between the wines, especially in relation to vintage. Also, the study allowed a clear separation of wines in relation to place of vineyards in terms of mineral composition.

Practical interventions that influence the sensory attributes of red wines related to the phenolic composition of grapes: a review

The phenolic composition of red wines is complex and intimately involved in colour, taste, mouth‐feel and aroma. There have been significant advances in knowledge of compounds with relatively simple structures, but understanding of those with more complex and probably diverse structures is challenging. A number of phenolic compounds may form temporary complexes with anthocyanins and/or be involved in reactions that lead to relatively stable coloured compounds. A wide range of phenolic compounds is implicated in the oral sensory attributes of red wines. Of particular importance are flavan‐3‐ols, including proanthocyanidins (PAs). The generally observed decline in the extractability of PAs during berry ripening is due to binding with cell wall material, which may occur within the developing berry and also from tissues brought into contact during processing. Studies have shown that exposure/reduced vigour results in an increasing proportion of skin PAs being extractable during wine making. Temperature and light influence anthocyanin with temperature probably being more important and the most sensitive stage being 1–3 weeks after véraison. Skin PAs are extracted earlier than those from seeds during wine‐making. Recent results suggest some rearrangement of skin and/or seed PAs occurs during vinification which involves the cleavage of large polymers or the aggregation of small ones. The polymeric material is particularly influential in wine astringency and is transformed by incorporation of anthocyanins into tannin‐like compounds during wine‐making and storage. Although some grape‐derived phenolic compounds contribute to the aroma of red wines, likely of greater importance are the effects of nonvolatile phenolics on the volatility of a diverse range of aroma compounds. Advances in analytical techniques are likely to provide greater insights into the structures and conformations of phenolic polymers and the role of cell wall material in relation to phenolic extraction and reaction during vinification. In relation to aroma, much more research is required to reveal the details of the interactions involving phenolics with volatile compounds. It seems likely that the ability to influence the relative extraction and subsequent reaction of skin and seed phenolics is important in the production of full colour, aromatic and long‐lived wines.
