Characterization of Wines Produced from Fungus Resistant Grapes
Characterization of Wines Produced from Fungus Resistant Grapes Claudia Koraimanna, Erich Leitnera, Uwe Oppermannb a Graz University of Technology, [email protected], Graz, Austria b Shimadzu Europe GmbH, [email protected], Duisburg, Germany Introduction The vineyards of the Styrian wine region are located in the southern part of Austria close to the Slovenian border covering approximately 4.500 hectares. Predominantly steep slopes are cultivated with inclinations up to 60%. This area is a classical cool-climate region with an average annual temperature of 10.5°C and precipitation of approximately 1.000 mm per year. Main rainfall months are especially May, June, July & ,August and September in which 55 to 70% of the annual precipitation falls. The mechanical management of the steep slopes is difficult and quite dangerous, too. The establishment of fungus- resistant grape varietals can clearly reduce plant protection efforts and also brings economic advantages. First experiments with fungus resistant grape varieties date back to the early '80s. Most varieties of the initial trials were not accepted by the consumers due to their sensory properties. The recent generation of fungus-resistant grape varietals show much more compromising results and a higher acceptance on the market. Sensory Analysis Analytical Methods Sensory analysis was performed by a trained panel with specific Aroma compounds were analyzed by HS-SPME using a 2 cm 50/30 µm expertise in wine tasting consisting of 12 members. All panelists DVB/Carboxen/PDMS fiber with different techniques and parameters. The aroma are members of the Austrian Wine quality board which is substances except Isobutylmethoxypyrazine were quantified by the standard responsible for the Austrian wine quality banderol, where a addition procedure with GC-MS (SIM) at 5 different concentration levels adjusted to sensory judgment for each quality wine is mandatory. -
