Hyde Park Wine Experiences and Culinary Adventures
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.

Touriga Nacional 97%; Touriga Francesa 3% DOC Douro Schist Fermented in stainless steel tanks for a period of 8 days where it then undergoes malolactic fermentation. 13,5 0,6 5,5 3,74 After a cold and dry winter, the spring of 2018 was cold and extremely rainy, causing an exuberant canopy growth in the vineyard. 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. Very dark colour that transmits power through the wine. Very expressive with tight aromas of wild berries. Very good woody aromas backed by a strong tannic backbone. Will improve in bottle for many years..

Fertility of Buds and Pruning Recommendation of Different
This is an open access article under the CC BY 30 Aline Meneguzzi et al. license Creative Commons Fertility of buds and pruning recommendation of different grapevine varieties grown in altitude regions of Santa Catarina State, Brazil Aline Meneguzzi1, José Luiz Marcon Filho1, Alberto Fontanella Brighenti2, Douglas André Würz3 * , Leo Rufato4, Aparecido Lima da Silva2 10.1590/0034-737X202067010005 ABSTRACT Low bud fertility index is frequently observed in different grapevine varieties grown in high altitude of Santa Catarina Sate; in many cases less than one cluster per bud is observed. The objective of this study was to assess bud fertility of twenty six Vitis vinifera L. varieties and from this information, to recommend the method of pruning more suitable for these varieties in high altitude conditions. The grapevine canes and buds were collected from production vineyards located in São Joaquim, Santa Catarina State, in two consecutive vintages. Fifteen cane cuttings containing 10 nodes per variety were collected to determine bud fertility and placed in a growth chamber with controlled relative humidity, light, temperature. After budbreak, buds were classified as fertile or non-fertile according to the presence or absence of the inflorescence. The bud fertility varies according to the variety and its position in the cane. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Caiada, which present higher fertility in basal buds, are recommended for short or long pruning. The varieties Chardonnay, Manzoni Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc, Sangiovese, Pinot Gris, Tempranillo, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Montepulciano, and Touriga Nacional should be pruned preferentially in long pruning. While the varieties Viognier, Glera (Prosecco), Fiano, Garganega, Vermentino, Nebbiolo, Teroldego, Rebo, Canaiolo Nero and Touriga Francesa must be pruned exclusively with long pruning in order to ensure adequate cluster production.

Loca: the Wines of Lodi, California Press Kit 2014
LoCA: The Wines of Lodi, California Press Kit 2014 LODI WINE COUNTRY Lodi—the Place: “Lodi Wine Country” is one of California’s major winegrowing regions, located 100 miles east of San Francisco near the San Joaquin/Sacramento River Delta, south of Sacramento and west of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is named after the most populous city within the region. Lodi is characterized by a rural atmosphere where wineries and farms run by 4th - and 5th generation families operate in tandem with a new group of vintners who have brought creative winemaking and cutting-edge technology to the region. In Lodi, grape-growing is inextricably woven into the culture: the city of Lodi’s police department prominently features a grape cluster in its logo, and high school teams are named after grape varieties. A Track Record of Continuous Success: Lodi has been a major winegrape growing region for over 150 years. Unlike many U.S. wine regions, Lodi actually prospered during Prohibition and as such has been a continuous source of wine grapes since the 1850s. In fact, when early trappers wandered into what is now Lodi, they called one stream they discovered "Wine Creek" because of the proliferation of wild vines found there. As more and more Italian and German immigrants made their homes in Lodi, vinifera varieties such as Zinfandel, Tokay, and Alicante appeared by the 1880s. Key Milestones In Lodi’s History: o Fruit supply routes to the East Coast had been well established and so home winemakers took advantage of the provisions of the Volstead Act during Prohibition by purchasing wine grapes from Lodi to make their legal allotment of wine.
