. vineyard site & vintage key to rotundone in grapes & wine . significant vine-to-vine variation in uniform sites
. 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? The Australian Wine Acknowledgements Research Institute

Vine vigour and soil property A few facts about Syrah / Shiraz
• ancient variety Mondeuse blanche x Dureza Northern Rhone Valley, 100AD • 1980s only 10.000 ha • 140,000 ha in 2004/2005 one of world’s top six grape varieties along with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay
• World styles France: Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage South Africa: Boekenhoutskloof Syrah New Zealand: Craggy Range Le Sol Syrah Chile: Matetic Vineyards EQ Syrah Washington, USA: Gramercy Cellars “John Lewis” Walla Walla Valley Syrah California, USA: Saintsbury Rodgers Creek Carneros Syrah Rotundone is widely found in plants and plant products Comparison of grape volatiles by GCMS
High ‘pepper’ . differences, monoterpenes & sesquiterpenes . lots of variation, no pattern . no compound related to peppery aroma
Low ‘pepper’ The search for ‘pepper markers’: untargeted metabolomics experiment
THE IDEA: . compare quantitative sensory data (n=22) with comprehensive volatile profiles (entire headspace-GC-MS datasets, 12000 mass spectra/sample)
to look for correlations among data sets to identify marker substances in peppery grape samples to identify key peppery aroma compounds The search for ‘pepper markers’: untargeted metabolomics experiment
