Abstract Characterization of Regional Examples of New Zealand Pinot noir by Means of Sensory and Chemical Analysis by Elizabeth Tomasino There are four main Pinot noir wine regions in New Zealand: Central Otago, Marlborough, Martinborough and Waipara. These regions specialize in this variety as the soil, climate and other conditions are well suited to this grape. Beside being grown in these regions the wines are also marketed as regional products. Place of origin labelling implies that wines from one region will have different aroma and flavour characteristics from wines from other regions. This project determined the characteristics that best differentiate the regional styles of New Zealand Pinot noir. Marlborough Pinot noir was characterized by greater raspberry, red cherry, red fruit and red berry aromas, longer finish length and more harmonious balance. Martinborough Pinot noir was characterized by greater black cherry, chocolate, oak and spice aromas and oak tannin. Waipara Pinot noir was characterized by greater barnyard, herbal and violet aromas and in-mouth fruit density/concentration. Central Otago Pinot noir was characterized by fuller body. As regional wines were found to be stylistically different, the ability of tasters to discriminate regional wines was tested using paired comparison and sorting analysis. Tasters were not successful at discriminating regional wine examples using these techniques. This may be due to conceptual models that are not representative of the regional wines. In order to determine the possible causes of these regional differences the chemical composition of the wines was also investigated. Three HS-SPME-GC-MS methods were iv developed specifically for Pinot noir wine to measure 34 different volatile organic compounds. One method measured compounds found at higher concentrations, namely esters and alcohols, the second method measured volatile fatty acids and the third measured trace compounds present at very low concentrations. With the two sets of information, sensory and chemical, it was possible to find relationships using canonical correlation analysis. Results indicated four aroma compounds of particular importance: ethyl octanoate, ethyl decanoate, 2-phenyl ethanol and benzaldehyde. Addition/omission tests were used to determine the influence of each compound on Pinot noir aroma. The compounds were added in combination and at varying concentrations to a wine matrix, which consisted of a commerical Pinot noir that contained low levels of the compounds of interest. In 8 of 10 triangle tests panellists were able to successfully identify samples with different concentrations of the components. Panellists also used descriptive analysis to determine the influence of these compounds. From the descriptive analysis results it was found the 2-phenyl ethanol influenced the perception of violet aroma, ethyl octanoate influenced red cherry aroma and the combination of ethyl octanoate and ethyl decanoate influenced black cherry aroma. The measurement of the effect of these aroma compounds is a first step to understanding some factors of regional style since red cherry, black cherry and violets were descriptors that characterize the regional styles of New Zealand Pinot noir. Keywords: addition test, benzaldehyde, canonical correlation analysis, ethyl decanoate, ethyl octanoate, HS-SPME-GCMS, New Zealand, 2-phenyl ethanol, Pinot noir, place of origin, regionality, volatile fatty acids v Acknowledgements I would like to thank my main supervisor Dr. Roland Harrison for his patience, time, guidance, knowledge and advice. I would also like to thank my associate supervisors Dr. Robert Sherlock and Dr. Richard Sedcole for their expertise, time and advice throughout the project. Having access to such individuals with their specialized knowledge allowed the project to flow smoothly. I also acknowledge the contributions of Jason Brietmeyer, who trained me in the use of GCMS and provided much needed guidance and knowledge in this area. I also would like to acknowledge the staff at Brancott Estate (Pernod Ricard NZ Ltd.) and particularly to thank Mr. Andy Frost for his patience and knowledge of oenology research and the contribution that research can make to industry. Additional acknowledgements go to those wineries that provided wine from the study and to all of the winemakers and wine industry staff that particpated in all of the sensory analysis tastings. I would like to thank my parents, Arthur and Robin, and brother, Michael, for their support and guidance throughout the doctoral programme. I would not have been able to complete my doctorate successfully without their help. Additional acknowledgements include fellow lab mates, postgraduate students and friends for their help in surviving the undertaking of the doctoral programme.

    Hatton Daniels|Rosé of Dornfelder ​ ​ ​ ​ Mokelumne Glen Vineyard |Mokelumne River AVA ​ ​ The Story: This is a true story of expecting to kiss a frog and ​ finding beautiful wines and great people. Hatton Daniels is a tiny Napa winery working with unusual varietals: Dornfelder, Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, and Malvasia Bianco, in addition to Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Dan Fishman is the winemaker, who in 2007 worked at Calvert Woodley Fine Wine & Spirits in DC. He makes some of the most interesting California wines we have tasted in a long time. Production ranges from 25-115 cases so there is not much to go around, but they are worth seeking out. Vineyard: Mokelumne Glen Vineyard in Lodi, CA. Viticultural ​ ​ practices include cane pruning (seldom used in the Lodi area) and expanded vertical trellis, and a dual irrigation system utilizing the most favorable benefits of both drip and sprinkler. Grapes harvested prior to full maturity for fresh rose acidity. Vinification: Clusters were pressed directly after harvest, ​ squeezed very gently, only using about 60% of the total potential juice to ensure light color and delicate flavors. The wine was then fermented with native yeast in old oak barrels, and ultimately transferred to a used 500L puncheon for aging. Malolactic fermentation was prevented in order to preserve the beautiful, fresh acidity. Ageing: Aged 3 months in barrel. ​ ​ Everything else you want to know about this wine: The wine was bottled without fining or filtration. For this ​ reason it often throws a sediment, or even so-called “wine-diamonds,” the crystals of tartaric acid that form when the wine is chilled.

  • 2013 Cambiata Dornfelder, Santa Lucia Highlands
    2013 Dornfelder Unconventional and Iconoclastic Cambiata is not your average California winery. We are a little more unconventional and iconoclastic than our compatriots around the Golden State. I launched Cambiata in 2002 after making wines for other people for nearly two decades. My intention was to produce distinctive bottlings that go beyond the Franco triumvirate of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhone. Today, we are vinifying a handful of compelling wines from some of California’s scarcest grape varieties including Albariño, Tannat and Dornfelder. We also make limited quantities of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the Santa Lucia Highlands. Enjoy. What The Hell? Walk past the rows of meticulously manicured Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to the top of the McIntyre Estate Vineyard and you’ll find a single acre of strange-looking vines bearing long, loose clusters of pitch black berries. “What the hell?” you mumble to the wind. “What vintner would have the cajones to plant Dornfelder in the Santa Lucia Highlands?” Turns out, we would. We figured if the grape loves Germany so much, it should thrive in the cold, windy climate of the Salinas Valley. Kissing Cousins Dornfelder, related by marriage to Pinot Noir, is the second-most planted red grape in Germany. When grown in the right location and made with labor-intensive, artisan practices, it can produce a rich, age worthy, red wine that offers incredibly juicy aromatics and luscious flavors. Just like our Pinot Noir, the wine was fermented in open top fermenters with frequent punch downs of the cap. It spent approximately 14 months in 100% French oak barrels (40% new) prior to bottling.

  • Dornfelder Rheinhessen 2011
    ESTATE DORNFELDER RHEINHESSEN 2011 Albrecht Schneider’s maxim has always been absolute devotion to his vineyards and wines, whilst marketing was considered less important. He had to take over the “reigns” at an early age in 1967 after his apprenticeship at the Langwerth von Simmern estate, and even in those early days, he realized that only healthy soils could allow the cultivation of fine wines, and began with interrow crops while modernizing from horse to special light trac- tor. The estate has been owned by the Schneider family for 7 generations, and today at vintage time, three gen- erations are at work.

  • Red Winegrape Varieties for Long Island Vineyards
    Strengthening Families & Communities • Protecting & Enhancing the Environment • Fostering Economic Development • Promoting Sustainable Agriculture Red Winegrape Varieties for Long Island Vineyards Alice Wise, Extension Educator, Viticulturist, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County February, 2013; rev. March, 2020 Contemplation of winegrape varieties is a fascinating and challenging process. We offer this list of varieties as potential alternative to the red wine varieties widely planted in the eastern U.S. – Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir. Properly sited and well-managed, these four varieties are capable of producing high quality fruit. Some regions have highlighted one of these varieties, such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc on Long Island and Cabernet Franc in the Finger Lakes. However, many industry members have expressed an interest in diversifying their vineyards. Clearly, there is room for exploration and by doing so, businesses can distinguish themselves from a marketing and stylistic viewpoint. The intent of this article is to introduce a selection of varieties that have potential for Long Island. This is by no means an exhaustive list. These suggestions merit further investigation by the winegrower. This could involve internet/print research, tasting wines from other regions and/or correspondence with fellow winegrowers. Even with a thoughtful approach, it is important to acknowledge that vine performance may vary due to site, soil type and management practices. Fruit quality and quantity will also vary from season to season. That said, a successful variety will be capable of quality fruit production despite seasonal variation in temperature and rainfall. The most prominent features of each variety are discussed based on industry experience, observations and results from the winegrape variety trial at the Long Island Horticultural Research and Extension Center, Riverhead, NY (cited as ‘LIHREC vineyard’).

Statement of Principles It is important that readers understand how I collect and evaluate the information that is reported in the pages of Burghound.com (the tasting notes and information are the sole responsibility of the author). • I am personally responsible for all of my business expenses without exception. This includes airfare, hotels and effectively all of my meals. The purpose is as clear as it is simple: No conflicts of interest. I do not accept nor do I seek any subsidy, in any form, from anybody. • Sample bottles are accepted for evaluation and commentary, much as book reviewers accept advance copies of new releases. I insist, however, that these sample bottles represent the final wines to be sold under that particular label. • Finished, bottled wines are assigned scores as these wines are market-ready. Wines tasted from barrel, however, are scored within a range. This reflects the reality that a wine tasted from barrel is not a finished product. • Wines are evaluated within the context of their appellations. Simply put, that means I expect a grand cru Burgundy to reflect its exalted status.
