Incorporation of stems and leaves in cool climate Shiraz fermentation An Adelaide Hills Shiraz ferment was augmented with grape leaves, stems or peduncles to investigate the wine flavour impacts of these components. The addition of leaves at a level that might be common in commercial ferments surprisingly did not give rise to any ‘green’ aroma, but did slightly enhance ‘fruity’ characters. In contrast, the addition of stalks gave a clear ‘green capsicum’ flavour, together with an elevated methoxypyrazine concentration. Measuring sugars in wine A range of sugars exist in grapes and wine, but it is glucose and fructose that are the most important in terms of abundance, being fermentable by yeast, and their contribution to perceived sweetness. Direct analysis of glucose and fructose is therefore the best option for measuring sugars in wine. Other ‘reducing sugar’ methods give artificially high results, with possibly implications for labelling and other regulatory measures in some markets.
