Pool\ T. Henick-Kiing , G.E. Howard , 4 5 I B.K. Gavitt , and T.J. Johnson The similarities in climate and soil between the wine growing areas ofNew York and I Burgundy support the idea that red Pinot noir wines of quality might be expected in the Finger Lakes region of New York. The greatest hazards are winter injury and bunch rot. This suggest that cultural practices which minimize these hazards should be utilized for Pinot noir (1 ). Such I practices include: use of low vigor rootstock, vertical training, summer pruning, leaf removal, botryticide application, double pruning, and multiple trunks to allow compensation for winter injury. These data also have helped to guide our research on growing Pinot noir in New York. I We have emphasized testing to identify clones which have superior winter cold hardiness, which resist bunch rot and which produce wines with sufficient color and flavors characteristic of I mature fruit, even in cooler growing season. In spite of its capricious reputation, Pinot noir is the "logical" classic red wine grape I variety to consider for northern viticultural production regions. It is reassuring to know that compared to the other "classic" varieties, Pinot noir is adaptable. The great, long-lived red wines from Burgundy whose value justify low yields, expensive winemaking, and long storage receive I most of the attention, but Pinot noir is also widely grown to make wines which meet the expectations of those who are looking for a superior, but less costly, wine experience. I We associate Pinot noir with a single region, Burgundy, but in fact it is grown extensively in many places in the world. It is made into wines with styles ranging from classic, generous grand cru Burgundies, through much lighter regional Burgundy wines, to the fruity red wines of I Switzerland, Alsace, Germany, and Italy. Insufficient color is often a problem with Pinot noir, but even where color is lacking it is valued for the production of white sparkling wines as in I Champagne. The fact that Pinot noir wines can be produced with a range of styles offers reassurance to I those who are experimenting with the variety. Regardless of where it is grown, only a small fraction ofPinot noir wines achieve the ultimate in color, intensity of flavor, and body which characterize the grand crus, but everywhere that sound grapes can be grown, Pinot noir produces I wines which are regional favorites.

I I 1 I I Pinot noir is an early ripening grape. Where there is too much heat, the sun burns the I fruit badly, acid concentration becomes insufficient, pH is too high, and fruity aromas are lost. Pinot noir is a variety for cool growing areas. The French emphasize that, in comparison with the other classic varieties, Pinot noir is adapted to cool, continental climates. Bordeaux red I varieties are adapted to cooler maritime climates, and most other classic reds, such as Syrah and Nebbiolo, require much more seasonal heat accumulation than does Pinot noir. I Table 1. lists data on regions where Pinot noir is important. North American locations tend to be much more southerly than European ones, and their continentality is indicated by the relative low expected winter temperatures. The data also show that, relative to Burgundy, New I York locations have somewhat greater seasonal accumulation of heat and experience more winter cold. I Growing season data from a typical New York Finger Lakes grape production area are compared to those of Burgundy (Dijon) in Figure 1. These indicate that, while summer growing I conditions in New York and Burgundy may be comparable, winter conditions are much more severe in New York. I The precipitation data indicate rainfall should provide ample water in normal years at Geneva, New York. Geneva tends to have slightly more rainfall than Burgundy during the early season and during the critical final ripening period in October. Thus, New York growers must be I even more concerned with preventing rain-induced bunch rot than are the Burgundians. Important considerations for New York Pinot noir: The previous section compared I New York's climates with those of major Pinot noir producing areas in the world with an emphasis on Burgundy, the home of the variety. That data highlighted several important limitations regarding the variety and its potential adaptation to New York's varied climates. I Winter cold hardiness: The most important feature distinguishing New York climate is I winter cold. In all New York winegrowing districts, winter temperatures are much lower than are those in even the coldest European Pinot noir producing district. Hence, winter survival and direct measurements of cold hardiness are critical to an understanding of the relative adaptation I of a particular clone in New York. Bunch rot: Pinot noir does not resist infection by Botrytis cinerea, the gray mold fungus. I Botrytis infection greatly reduces varietal wine character and adds special aromas of its own which are not appreciated in Pinot noir wines. It also produces the enzyme, laccase, which destroys anthocyanin coloring pigments. Unless affected musts are heated to destroy the I enzyme, the result is wines with poor color. More importantly, Botrytis infection causes grape skins to break down leaving the fruit subject to a whole host of secondary spoilage bacteria, yeast, and fungi which result in pre-harvest fermentation and acetic acid spoilage.

  • Tutored Wine Tasting
    Tutored Wine Tasting PORT Speaker: Eric LAGRE Sommelier Port is the classic fortified wine from the Douro, the name of which derives from Oporto (Porto), the second largest city in Portugal, whence the wine has been shipped for over 300 years. Remains of stone troughs for the fermentation of foot-trodden grapes dating back to at least the 3 rd and 4 th centuries can be found throughout the Douro Valley, upstream from Oporto. But the denomination “Porto/Port”, however, only appeared during the second half of the 17 th century, coinciding with a boom in viticulture and wine export initiated by English merchants. Port has actually often been described as the archetypal wine of the British, and the reason for that is not difficult to discover: Port was created by the British for the British market. HISTORY The 1386 Treaty of Windsor was the first of a series of treaties to build strong and active links between Portuguese coastal cities and London. By the time of the reign of Henry VII, the English had established businesses and trade associations benefiting from certain diplomatic privileges in the ports of Lisbon, Oporto, and most importantly, as far as the wine trade was concerned, Viana do Castelo, in the Minho, right to the north of the county. Portuguese wines were often traded for woollen goods from England or dried, salted cod from Newfoundland, bacalhau thus becoming a staple of Portuguese cuisine. Since the thin and astringent Vinho Verde of the Minho was not a wine to the liking of the English consumer, English merchants would rely on Portugal only when needed, mostly because it was the easiest option in terms of shipment.

  • Port Wine: Production and Ageing Juliana Milheiro, Fernanda Cosme, Luís Filipe-Ribeiro and Fernando M
    Chapter Port Wine: Production and Ageing Juliana Milheiro, Fernanda Cosme, Luís Filipe-Ribeiro and Fernando M. Nunes Abstract Port wine is a traditional and worldwide renowned fortified wine produced in the Douro Demarcated Region (DDR) Northeast of Portugal by specific and tradi- tional winemaking practices. The final quality and uniqueness of the different Port wine styles are highly dependent on the ageing process, namely time, temperature and oxygen levels that will ultimately dictate the type and extension of the chemical changes that occur during this process. These chemical changes occurring during the Port wine ageing process results in significant changes in colour and aroma according to the different ageing conditions employed for the different Port wine styles. This chapter intends to give a broad and generic overview of the known and potential chemical changes occurring during ageing of Port wine that are respon- sible for the changes in the sensory profile observed during the ageing process. Also, the known chromatic and aromatic characteristics of the different Port wine styles and the specific ageing processes, reductive or oxidative, are reviewed. Keywords: Port wine, Douro Demarcated Region, ageing process, colour, aroma 1. Introduction Port wine is a traditional fortified wine produced in the Douro Demarcated Region (Northeast of Portugal in the Douro Valley, Figure 1) under very specific conditions. There are several Port wine styles being related to the winemaking and ageing process and also to the ageing time, which enhances uniqueness to the wines and recognition throughout the world. The Douro Demarcated Region is located within the Douro River basin, surrounded by mountains, having a total area of approximately 250,000 hectares.

    Hyde Park Wine Experiences and Culinary Adventures Winter is a great time to become more acquainted with hearty wines that enhance heavier foods. In this issue of our newsletter, we will focus on big red wines and serious white wines, for the more sophisticated wine consumer. For the novice consumer I will focus on a few interesting and easy to find wines that are good bargains. In addition, we have some ideas on how to help you to sample wines, member questions, wine alerts, wine terms, holiday gift suggestions, and the most unbelievable priced wine event this club has ever had. THE SOPHISTICATED WINE CONSUMER Have you ever had a conversation with a very sophisticated wine consumer and mentioned that you enjoy drinking inexpensive Chardonnays at home? The person whom you are talking to just gives you that long stare like their saying to themselves boy you have missed the boat. It happens all of the time. More and more wine consumers are stepping up to more sophisticated wines and are moving away for grocery store closeouts. We hear it all of the time at the bar as members tell us that they often pop a bottle of Cakebread Chardonnay at home after a long day at the office. The majority of American wine consumers are moving into the high-end direction as vineyards are producing more complex, French in style, buttery and creamy in nature Chardonnays. For example: a heavier Chardonnay is more complex and offers creamy butter and oak, yet the advantage is “less sulfites” - the element that sometimes gives you those headaches and sniffles.

  • 'Terroir' the Port Vineyards Are Located in the North East of Portugal in The
    Geography and ‘terroir’ The Port vineyards are located in the north east of Portugal in the mountainous upper reaches of the Douro River Valley. This region lies about 130 kilometres inland and is protected from the influence of the Atlantic Ocean by the Marão mountains. The vineyard area is hot and dry in summer and cold in winter, excellent conditions for producing the concentrated and powerful wines needed to make port. The coastal area is humid and temperate, providing the ideal conditions in which to age the wine. The grapes are grown and turned into wine in the vineyards of the Douro Valley. In the spring following the harvest, the wine is brought down to the coast to be aged in the warehouses of the Port houses, known as ‘lodges’. The ‘lodges’ are located in Vila Nova de Gaia, a town located on the south bank of the River Douro facing the old city of Oporto. Until about sixty years ago, the wine was brought down the river from the vineyards to the coast in traditional boats called ‘barcos rabelos’. Most of the vineyards are planted on the steep hillsides of the Douro River valley and those of its tributaries, such as the Corgo, the Távora and the Pinhão. The oldest vineyards are planted on ancient walled terraces, some made over two hundred years ago. These have been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Douro Valley is considered to be one of the most beautiful and spectacular vineyard areas in the world. The soil of the Douro Valley is very stony and is made up of schist, a kind of volcanic rock.

  • The Influence of the Grape Variety on the Production of Volatile Phenols in Portuguese Wines
    THE INFLUENCE OF THE GRAPE VARIETY ON THE PRODUCTION OF VOLATILE PHENOLS IN PORTUGUESE WINES Master Thesis presented to Escola Superior de Biotecnologia of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa as part of the European Master of Science Degree in Food Science, Technology and Nutrition By Sophie Weiss Under the supervision of Francisco Campos and José António Couto March 2014 ABSTRACT The main purpose of this work is to determine whether there is a correlation between the susceptibility to volatile phenol production of wines and grape variety. Therefore, 11 single varietal red wines from Portugal were heat sterilized, contaminated with Dekkera bruxellensis PYCC 4801 and incubated for at least 10 days at 30°C. Since yeasts did not grow in pure wines due to inhibition by ethanol, the experiments were conducted in diluted samples with similar initial pH and ethanol levels. Yeast growth was monitored and produced levels of 4- ethylguaiacol, 4-ethylphenol and 4-vinylphenol were measured using gas chromatography in order to compare values between varieties. This approach led to the production of 4-ethylphenol and 4-ethylguaiacol in all samples; 4- vinylphenol however, could not be detected in any sample. All values reached or exceeded perception threshold levels established in literature. This suggests that all examined wines are at risk of developing phenolic off-flavour once contaminated with Brettanomyces/Dekkera yeasts, especially considering that samples were diluted and thus contained lower amounts of precursors than are potentially present in pure wines. 4-ethylguaiacol values were generally lower and varied less between samples and varieties compared to 4-ethylphenol. Tinta Roriz and Touriga Franca showed the highest potential in regard to volatile phenol production from the natural precursors available in the wines while Sousão wines appeared to be the least prone and Touriga Nacional wines exhibited intermediate volatile phenol values.

The beginning of summer continued somewhat rainy and with temperatures not characteristic for the season, a situation that later reverted to hot and dry weather until the beginning of the harvest. During the month of August, temperatures were above 40°C for several days, in a heat wave that certainly marked the characteristics of this Romaneira Touriga Nacional2018. The grapes revealed all their quality for the production of excellent wines. The grapes that make up this wine, Touriga Nacional and Touriga Francesa, revealed there full potential and thus endowed the wine with the typical aromas of the Quinta da Romaneira terroir. The wine presents a deep color and a delicious aromatic personality. It presents a great structural balance and a palate full of intense flavors of fruit and spices that fuse with the majestic tannins that give it a palate of great length.
