Rovisco Pais, 1, 1049-001 Lisboa, Portugal. * Corresponding author: Tel.: +351 21 3653246, e-mail: [email protected] (Received 08.06.2020. Accepted 29.08.2020) SUMMARY Noble rot wine is a specific type of sweet wine that derives from the infection of grape berries by a fungus called Botrytis cinerea. These wines are produced in specific wine regions around the world, with Sauternes region of France and Tokay region of Hungary being the most famous ones. The purpose of the current article is to provide a systematic review on the different stages of botrytized wines production, including a detailed analysis of the technical aspects involved. Specifically, it describes the process and development of berry infection by B. cinerea, and special emphasis is given to the main stages and operations of winemaking, conservation, aging and stabilization. A complex combination of a number of parameters (e.g., very specific environmental conditions) explains the rarity of noble rot occurrence and highlights the uniqueness of botrytized wines. RESUMO Os vinhos botritizados representam uma categoria específica de vinhos doces, sendo obtidos a partir de bagos de uva infectados pelo fungo Botrytis cinerea, através de um processo designado por podridão nobre. Estes vinhos são produzidos em regiões específicas do mundo, sendo Sauternes e Tokay, originários de França e Hungria respectivamente, os exemplos mais conhecidos a nível mundial.

  • Loire Valley
    PREVIEWCOPY Introduction Previewing this guidebook? If you are previewing this guidebook in advance of purchase, please check out our enhanced preview, which will give you a deeper look at this guidebook. Wine guides for the ultra curious, Approach Guides take an in-depth look at a wine region’s grapes, appellations and vintages to help you discover wines that meet your preferences. The Loire Valley — featuring a compelling line-up of distinctive grape varieties, high quality winemaking and large production volumes — is home to some of France’s most impressive wines. Nevertheless, it remains largely overlooked by the international wine drinking public. This makes the region a treasure trove of exceptional values, just waiting to be discovered. What’s in this guidebook • Grape varieties. We describe the Loire’s primary red and white grape varieties and where they reach their highest expressions. • Vintage ratings. We offer a straightforward vintage ratings table, which affords high-level insight into the best and most challenging years for wine production. • A Loire Valley wine label. We explain what to look for on a Loire Valley wine label and what it tells you about what’s in the bottle. • Map and appellation profiles. Leveraging our map of the region, we provide detailed pro- files of appellations from all five of the Loire’s sub-regions (running from west to east): Pays Nantais, Anjou, Saumur, Touraine and Central Vineyards. For each appellation, we describe the prevailing terroir, the types of wine produced and what makes them distinctive. • A distinctive approach. This guidebook’s approach is unique: rather than tell you what specific bottle of wine to order by providing individual bottle reviews, it gives the information you need to make informed wine choices on any list.

    Wine to go NMT Vending Machine Wines “Pet Gnat” (Chenin Blanc) Napa CA ‘19 $40 Local Winemakers Neil and Monica of Vending Machine buzz in with their pun wine “Pet-Gnat”. This funky-fresh spritzy white wine is a great intro into the world of “Petillant naturel” Wines. Using Chenin Blanc, the juice is bottled earlier on in the winery where it finishes fermentation in the bottle. This process traps cO2 and live yeasts giving the wine a home brew beerlike quality.

Lively, fruit-driven always capture the spirit of these friendly vignerons, but here is a relatively new bottling that, dare I say, boosts that “boogie” factor completely through the roof. This wine is a pure old-vine Grolleau from soils of clay and silex. The result of a carbonic maceration in wooden vats, and shows its best with a slight chill.

  • Pre-Fermentation Maceration of Pinot Noir Wine
    PRE-FERMENTATION MACERATION OF PINOT NOIR WINE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree , I of Master of Applied Science at Lincoln University by S. A. Goldsworthy Lincoln University 1993 i Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of M.Appl.Sc. PRE-FERMENTATION MACERATION OF PINOT NOIR WINE by S. A. Goldsworthy Two pre-fermentation treatments were investigated in Pinot noir (Vitis vinifera L.) wines. The effects of cold maceration and carbonic maceration on the wines' composition, colour parameters and sensory properties were examined. Cold maceration is a winemaking technique used to increase non-alcoholic extraction in Pinot noir winemaking prior to fermentation. It involves holding crushed grapes with approximately 100-150 mg r 1 S02 at low temperatures and is thought to increase the colour, aroma and flavour of the resulting wines. Carbonic maceration uses whole bunches that have undergone anaerobic metabolism to produce characteristically fruity and spicy wines. Pre-fermentation cold maceration produces wines that are higher in titratable acidity and monomeric anthocyanin content, but lower in colour density, hue and polymeric pigments. Reducing the maceration temperature below 10°C has little effect. Carbonic maceration produces wines that are lower in titratable acidity, monomeric anthocyanin content, and colour density but are higher in colour hue and amount of polymeric pigments. ii Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to define the effects of these pre-fermentation maceration treatments on the sensory characteristics of the resulting wine. Trained panel members found that there were no discernable sensory differences in the compositional parameters despite measurable chemical differences.

  • Botrytis Bunch Rot and Blight
    Online Guide To GRAPEVINE DISEASES Virginia Tech Botrytis Bunch Rot and Blight Ashley L. Myers Grape Pathology Extension Specialist, Department of Plant Pathology, Physiology, and Weed Sciences, Virginia Tech AHS Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Winchester, VA Introduction: Botrytis bunch rot occurs in vineyards all over the world, but is most common in regions with cool to moderate temperatures during the preharvest period. Once considered a secondary disease, Botrytis is now one of the major fruit rot diseases of grapes. Botrytis seriously reduces the quantity and quality of the crop by causing premature cluster drop and postharvest fruit rot. In winegrape production, the most serious damage results from modified chemical composition of diseased berries resulting in wines that have off-flavors, are fragile, and are more sensitive to oxidation and bacterial contamination. However, in certain cultivars and under certain weather conditions, a specific form of botrytis cluster rot, known as “noble rot”, is a desired rot that contributes to the production of exceptionally sweet wines. Symptoms and signs: Buds and young shoots may be infected Photo by T. Wolf in early spring, turn brown, and then dry out with drier weather. At the end of spring but before bloom, large, irregular, reddish brown patches appear on a few leaves of the vine and are localized near the edge of the leaf blade or on major veins (Fig. 1). During humid or wet weather, these lesions may be covered with gray moldy growth characteristic of Botrytis. Before bloom Botrytis may invade flower clusters, and if Fig. 1 severe may cause entire clusters to dry out and fall off.

The values of C* (psychometric chroma), a* (measure of redness) and b* (measure of yellowness) were significantly higher (p < 0.01) in the carbonic macerated wine than in red wine. However, there were no visual differences in color, and classical red wine and carbonic macerated wine had similar h (hue angle) values and located in the red region. Thirty-two aromatic compounds were identified and quantified in Muscat Hamburg wines.
