PROTECTING YOUR WHITE WINE MANAGEMENT WHITE WINE PROTECTING YOUR WHITE WINE - A TRADITIONAL APPROACH White wines are vulnerable to oxidation and microbial changes post alcoholic fermentation. Microbial and anti-oxidative control of white wines is a first step to getting wines ready for bottling and/or storage. Threats of oxygen on finished white wines; • Proliferation of acetic acid bacteria. • Proliferation of Brettanomyces bruxellensis. • Browning caused by the oxidation of hydroxycinnamic acids and key phenolic acids. • Oxidation of aroma producing thiols rendering them non volatile. To prevent the oxidation of these phenolic compounds, an anti-oxidative mechanism needs to be put in place.

Effect of Oxygen Managment on White Wine Composition
Effect of oxygen management on white wine composition by James Russell Walls Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science at Stellenbosch University Department of Viticulture and Oenology, Faculty of AgriSciences Supervisor: Associate Professor Dr. Wessel J. du Toit Co-supervisor: Dr. Carien Coetzee March 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: March 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Summary Premature oxidation in white wine is a constant problem for winemakers. A number of studies have shown that dissolved oxygen and elevated temperatures have a negative effect on wine composition, but these were often done using extreme conditions such as very high temperatures and excessive oxygen additions. During wine oxidation, compounds associated with positive aromas decrease and those linked to aged and oxidized wines increase in concentration. There are numerous ways to combat oxidation using antioxidants and reductive winemaking techniques. However, a recent study has found wines in South Africa to be bottled at a total packaged oxygen level of between 1.5 and 7.5 mg/L. As these levels could reduce antioxidant capacity, understanding how these levels affect wine ageing is paramount.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer – September 2016
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer – September 2016 2014 Domaine/Maison Joseph Drouhin Chassagne-Montrachet (M) - 89 Points - Bright yellow. Fresh, subtle perfume of pear and white flowers. In a restrained style but with lovely mineral lift to its fruit (Frédéric Drouhin described this characteristic as "confined energy"). Very pure and sharp on the back end. A nicely balanced village wine.Drink - 2017 - 2023 -- Stephen Tanzer 2014 Domaine/Maison Joseph Drouhin Puligny-Montrachet (M) - 89+ Points - Bright pale yellow. Ripe peach and a bouquet of flowers on the nose. Boasts a silky mouthfeel, but the flavors of modestly ripe orchard fruits and pungent rocky minerality are still quite young. Firm acidity enhances the wine's minerality but this village wine will be better for a year or two of patience. The tactile finish shows sneaky length. Drink - 2018 - 2024 -- Stephen Tanzer 2014 Domaine/Maison Joseph Drouhin Meursault (M) - 88 Points - Riper but less floral in its peach and nectarine fruit aromas than the village Puligny. Broader and more tactile but without the flavor depth of Drouhin's other two village wines. Shows a touch of sweetness in the middle palate, then turns quite dry on the finish, hinting at some alcoholic warmth. Plenty of body here but I wanted more fruit and precision. This also should benefit from a year or two of cellaring.Drink - 2017 - 2022 -- Stephen Tanzer 2014 Domaine/Maison Joseph Drouhin Chassagne-Montrachet Embrazées 1er Cru (M) - 89 Points - (made from purchased grapes; 2013 was the first vintage for this bottling): Pale yellow. Bright, subtle perfume of pear and white flowers.

DOMAINE LEFLAIVE 2017 VINTAGE, EN PRIMEUR “My Recommendation Is to Open a Bottle at Dinner and Drink It for Breakfast
DOMAINE LEFLAIVE 2017 VINTAGE, EN PRIMEUR “My recommendation is to open a bottle at dinner and drink it for breakfast... if I am really nice to my friends, I open a bottle in the morning.” Brice de La Morandière On when to drink the Domaine’s wines INTRODUCTION We arrived at Domaine Leflaive’s new barrel cellar in the evening, as dusk was falling on the quiet streets of Puligny- Montrachet. Brice de La Morandière was waiting for us, sitting on a bench in the cellar’s small courtyard, which was a picture of tranquillity. It is rather magical tasting in a deserted, dimly lit cellar. We assembled in a loose semi-circle at the end of a row of barrels: Brice, Régisseur Pierre Vincent, Adam, Will Monroe and I. 4 5 This is Pierre Vincent’s first full vintage at the helm of the Domaine’s winemaking. He is rightly mindful of the weight of history here, but seems refreshingly open to innovation. The Domaine has made some not-insignificant changes over the past few years, including moving to Diam technical corks, as of the 2014 vintage. The challenge here was to put to bed definitively the spectre of so-called premature oxidation that, as Brice quite openly acknowledges, has for a couple of decades now hung over many producers, most visibly, although not exclusively, of white Burgundy. In 2015, a new press and new decanting tanks were purchased. Recent cellar innovations include separate handling of the press juice and totally revised racking and bottling processes. As of the 2014 vintage, all shipments have used e-Provenance® technology to record temperature and humidity during transport.

White Grape Must Oxygenation: Set up and Sensory Effect, Pag
LAGARDE-PASCAL ET AL., WHITE GRAPE MUST OXYGENATION: SET UP AND SENSORY EFFECT, PAG. 1 WHITE GRAPE MUST OXYGENATION: SET UP AND SENSORY EFFECT Christine LAGARDE-PASCAL et Laurent FARGETON Vivelys SAS, 170 boulevard du Chapitre, 34750 Villeneuve Lès Maguelone Müller-Späth showed in the 1970's that white grape winemaking practices in the presence of oxygen before the alcoholic fermentation were not necessary linked to negative results in the final wine and actually allowed for the wine to be less sensible to oxidation (Müller-Späth, 1977). Before the development of techniques that result in the extraction of a certain amount of polyphenols (mechanical harvest, maceration, sulphite addition during harvesting, inert pressing), several studies were published about treating grape musts with oxygen or «hyper-oxygenation» practices that permit for a reduction in polyphenol concentration in the pre-fermentation phases (Cheynier et al., 1989; Schneider, 1991; Cheynier et al., 1990; Cheynier et al., 1991; Cheynier et al., 1993; Ricardo da Silva et al., 1993). The technique allows for the stabilization of white wines against oxidation (Müller-Späth, 1977; Cheynier et al., 1989; Schneider, 1991; Schneider, 1998; Immelé, 2011; Ribéreau Gayon et al., 1998), in particular for what concerns the colour and also the astringency and bitterness which is reduced (Schneider, 1998). On the other hand, the effect on the wine aromas is more controversial: since there can be a loss of intensity and varietal aromas in some (Singleton et al., 1980; Dubourdieu et al., 1990), no aroma degradation in others (Müller-Späth, 1977; Cheynier et al., 1989) and even increased intensity (Artajona et al., 1990) or aromatic profile changes in others (Schneider, 1998).

Guide to White Wine Making
Goal of this Manual: To make Great wine at home in your first try! It is highly recommended that this paper be read through completely before you start to make your wine. Wine-making is made up of a series of consecutive steps which build on and directly affect each other from the very beginning to the very end. In order to make the best wine possible you will need to make the best decisions possible at each of these steps, and in order to do that, you will need to have a general understanding of the overall process as a whole.
