Assessing the Effect of Different Percentages of Red Blotch Affected Fruit on Wine Composition for Cabernet Sauvignon

release date: Jan 01, 2017
Assessing the Effect of Different Percentages of Red Blotch Affected Fruit on Wine Composition for Cabernet Sauvignon
Goals: Red Blotch disease (RB) is a recently discovered malady which is impacting grape growing regions in the United States. It is important for growers and winemakers to know the effects the disease may have on grape and wine composition in order to make informed decisions. This study made wines to imitate what might be found as field blends in vineyards affected to different degrees by RB disease. The goal is to determine at what incidence of RB infection will overall wine composition and quality be affected. Key findings: In the grapes at harvest the major differences were a decrease in Brix and significantly higher concentrations of tannins and non-tannin phenolics, in the RB affected fruit. Phenolic analyses found anthocyanins to be significantly higher in all wines made with inclusion of fruit from healthy vines and tannin concentrations were significantly higher in wines made with more fruit from RB affected vines. Many of the volatile differences found may be attributable to fermentation and harvest Brix level. Four mouthfeel and taste sensory attributes were found to be significantly different among the wines, all of which could be the result of ethanol differences. Impact and significance: This study is the first to investigate the impact of making wine with RB affected fruit. Previous studies have focused on the disease’s effect on grape composition. The largest impact on wine composition was ethanol concentration due to decreased sugar accumulation in grapes from RB diseased vines resulting in lower sugar content at harvest compared to grapes coming from healthy vines. The difference in ethanol concentration among the wines was also the main driver for sensory differences in the final wines. Findings can help vineyard managers and winemakers make harvest and winemaking decision such as whether sequential harvesting is a viable option and to what extent inclusion of RB affected fruit can impact wine style.

Si tu n''es pas Emma, repose immédiatement ce carnet ! Emma, je sais que cette histoire parait dingue. Maman et toi, vous devez vous demander où je suis passée et quand je reviendrai. Voilà pourquoi je te laisse ce carnet, au cas où il m''arriverait quelque chose et qu''on ne me revoit plus jamais. Regarde bien tout ce qu''il y a là-dedans. Appelle les numéros de téléphone. Va sur les sites internet. Mais surtout pas un mot à personne, sauf si tu as envie de finir impliquée jusqu''au cou comme moi. Ne t''en fais pas, je m''en sortirai (enfin j''espère). Après tout, c''est peut-être le début d''une nouvelle vie pour moi. Ce qui est sûr, c''est que plus rien ne sera comme avant. Appelle-moi. Bisous. Cathy.
