Shiraz - viticulture & rotundone concentration: ripening clone, vigour, water stress, leaf removal & crop load (Gerard Logan, Uni Auckland) . Duras - viticulture & rotundone concentration in wine: Ripening 2012 – IFV trials (Olivier Geffroy): irri / elicitor / crop thinning => 29-36 ng/L control => 27 ng/L leaf removal =>12 ng/L Summary II: rotundone - the key to The Australian Wine peppery aromas in Duras and Syrah wine Research Institute Limited options to lower rotundone & pepper aroma in the winery: yeast? skin contact and cap extraction? no effect: machine picked, crushed, de-stemmed & open fermentation vs hand picked & whole bunch open fermentation How can we manage our vineyards to increase or decrease rotundone in fruit, or to reduce variability? Why does rotundone occur in Shiraz and Duras compared to other cultivars, ie role of grapevine genome? what are the environmental factors that cause high rotundone in some grapevines & some seasons? What biological function does rotundone serve?
