WHITE MANAGEMENT

PROTECTING YOUR WHITE WINE - A TRADITIONAL APPROACH

White are vulnerable to oxidation and microbial changes post alcoholic fermentation. Microbial and anti-oxidative control of white wines is a first step to getting wines ready for bottling and/or storage.

Threats of oxygen on finished white wines; • Proliferation of acetic acid bacteria. • Proliferation of Brettanomyces bruxellensis. • Browning caused by the oxidation of hydroxycinnamic acids and key phenolic acids. • Oxidation of aroma producing thiols rendering them non volatile.

To prevent the oxidation of these phenolic compounds, an anti-oxidative mechanism needs to be put in place. Typically this is in

the form of SO2 in conjunction with ascorbic acid.

A word on SO2 and ascorbic acid Table 1: Percentages of molecular SO2 to bisulfite (bound SO2) at wine pH (Ribéreau-Gayon et al 2006). Understanding SO2 in your white wine is critical to ensuring microbial stability and oxidative control. SO can be found in both 2 pH MOLECULAR SO2 % BISULFITE (HSO3-) % free and bound form, with the sum of these two values resulting in 3.00 6.06 94.94 the total SO2 value. In its free form SO2 has both and antimicrobial and anti-oxidative effect. The amount of free SO2 is dependant on 3.10 4.88 95.12 the pH (Table 1). Essentially; 3.20 3.91 96.09 3.30 • Lower pH = More available free SO2. 3.1 96.87 • High the pH = Less available free SO . 2 3.40 2.51 97.49

Other compounds are able to bind to SO2 affecting the levels of 3.50 2.00 98.00

free SO2. This bound SO2 contributes to the TSO2 level, but is not available for anti-microbial and anti-oxidative control. Therefore 3.60 1.60 98.40

when using less SO2 in winemaking it is imperative to understand 3.70 1.27 98.73 the impact of pH. 3.80 1.01 98.99 Ascorbic acid is an effective oxygen scavenger in the presence of 3.90 0.81 99.19 SO2 in white wines. This should not be used by itself in white wines as it can lead to oxidation via the production of hydrogen peroxide 4.00 0.64 99.36

when molecular SO2 is not present.

PROTECTING YOUR WHITE WINE - A LOW SO2 APPROACH

Several low SO2 strategies may be used to protect a wine from microbial spoilage. Less SO2 will go further in the microbial protection of your wine via;

• Lower pH ranges. • Inoculation of both primary and secondary fermentations (to ensure the best success). • Additions of tannins providing an antioxidant effect in that they can scavenge oxygen. • Use of a chitosan/enzyme blend based product.

CU FO S Chitosan is a non-allergenic polysaccharide, derived from the Aspergillus spp for winemaking applications. Chitosan by itself can have an impact cell viability of B. bruxellensis and lactic acid bacteria. LAFFORT® has taken the concept of chitosan further and added ß-glucanase and pectinase, acting on the colloidal structure of the wine. The combined effect is much greater on cell death than chitosan by itself.

WHITE WINE MANAGEMENT PROTEIN STABILISATION

WHAT IS PROTEIN STABILISATION ?

Proteins in wine are derived primarily from the grape but also from autolysis of yeast post fermentation. Typically, they are found in quantities of 10 – 500 mg/L1,2,3 in wine and their quantities may be influenced by water stress, method of harvesting, and presence of stalks during pressing. Different grape and viticultural practices will also influence the amount of protein present in the resulting wine. Not all proteins are heat unstable! Enzymes used in winemaking as well as mannoproteins are all proteins which do not cause heat instabilities. It is only the heat unstable proteins that will cause haze after the wine is heated. Proteins associated with grape pathogens and chitinases which are grape derived are primarily associated with protein haze in white wines4.

FACTORS THAT EFFECT PROTEIN STABILISATION

Bentonite is normally used to precipitate proteins. Proteins of interest in wine are positively charged at lower pH ranges but at pH 4.0 lose their charge meaning that bentonite becomes less effective at these pH and more is required. Generally speaking, the higher the pH, the more bentonite required to stabilise the wine.

Charge Influence of pH on the dose of bentonite required to protein stabilise a .

Dose of bentonite required to achieve pH = 4 pH protein stability Positive 3 50 pH 3.6 60 Negative 3.8 80 4 100

INCREASED RISK FACTORS FOR PROTEIN INSTABILITY

• Inefficient fining – residual fining agent may leave proteins in suspension. These will bind to bentonite and drop out meaning an overestimation of the bentonite dosage required. • Bottling filtration quality: a stable wine before bottling that became unstable by retention of protective colloids in case of a clogging filtration. • Certain additives at bottling i.e. LYSOZYME®. • Poor quality natural corks: possibility of releasing tannins. • Wine storage conditions: wine exposed to heat. • The maturity level influences the protein concentration - The concentration in thermo-unstable proteins increases during ripening. • The higher the pH, the more bentonite required to stabilise the wine.

PROTEIN STABILISATION WHITE WINE MANAGEMENT

TYPES OF BENTONITE

CALCIUM and SODIUM The primary difference between bentonite’s is the space between their respective layers. The reduced space between the layers in the calcium bentonite results in more compact lees but a higher dose (approximately 1.6 x the dosage) is required to capture all the proteins. With sodium bentonite, a lower dosage is required as greater space between the layers captures more proteins but makes the lees settle higher.

5 FINING YOUR

WHITE WINE MANAGEMENT WHITE WINE

THE SELECTIVITY OF FINING

Each fining agent has a different specificity, and their efficacy and sensorial impact are largely dependent upon the product and the timing of addition (e.g. wine stage fining is much more impactful on the sensory profile than juice or must fining). The product variance is best demonstrated in figure 1, highlighting how each fining agent reacts differently with the compounds in the wines, and how even small dose’s can have a large sensory impact. Which is why; bench trials are the key to success!

8 FILTRATION FILTRATION

NI AR NG W LET’S BE CLEAR ! There is no correlation between wine turbidity and wine filterability. The colloidal load effects the filterability of a wine.

What is colloidal load? Unstable colloids are partly composed of anthocyanins in the form of the flavylium (charged +) ion, tannins, polysaccharides (including pectins) and proteins (+).

How can a high colloidal load have a low NTU? Haze is represented by the colloidal solutions and particulate suspensions of yeasts, bacteria, crystals, vegetal debris that are visible either microscopically or to the eye. Clarification aims to eliminate wine haze but the colloidal load in the wine may remain depending on treatments. Pectins which have not been degraded can go through a cross flow and re-form upon completion, resulting in a colloidal load that remains the same.

How can I decrease the colloidal load of my wine? • ENZYMES: Action on filterability. Ensures pectin and/or glucan chains breakdown, to improve settling (). • FINING : Decreases the colloidal load. Ensures settling of particles in suspension (colloids) present in the wine. The addition of negatively charged bentonite allows for the stabilisation of particularly unstable compounds and makes them precipitate. • RACKING: Physical reduction of the load thought lees removal.

Other factors that affect filterability; • TEMPERATURE: The colder the wine the harder it can be to remove colloidal load.

• DEGASSING: Reduction of the CO2 load ensures minimal degradation of the cake during DE filtration.

Addition of products to the wine...Can this affect filterability/clogging index? Depending on the nature of the products, CMCs, mouthfeel enhancing products and stabilising polysaccharides may add to the colloidal load of the wine and increase it’s clogging index. However if the wines colloidal load is low to start with (thought the use of enzymes, fining, bentonite and appropriate temperatures at filtration) the addition of colloidal products such as these should not impact the wines clogging index (Figure 1).

300 Effect of colloids on filterability. e 250 When wines start with a low clogging index because they 200 have a low colloidal load to start with – they are not impacted with the addition of a colloidal load such as CMC. In this case 150 wines that started with a clogging index below 50 stayed

IC millipor below 50 with the addition of CMC, but wines starting with 100 a clogging index above 50 increased significantly over with 50 the addition of CMC. 0 Control Treated with CMC

If wines are well prepared (CI < 50): no effect of colloid addition.

10 RED WINE COLLOIDAL

MANAGEMENT RED WINE MANAGEMENT

COLOURING MATTER STABILISATION

Colouring matter precipitation: The majority of red wine colouring matter binds during the fermentation process! However part of the colouring material in red wines is in a colloidal state; therefore not completely bound in the wine and this fraction can potentially precipitate. Wines can appear stable before bottling however instability can be identified via clogging filtration and precipitation of the colouring mater. The precipitation of the colouring matter can be brought on by several factors. • Tartaric instability: unstable tartrates can bind to colouring mater and precipitate. • Wine storage conditions: exposure to cold expedites tartaric instability. • Reduction of fining regimes and dosages: selective fining can expedite precipitation. • Early bottling and cellar conditions: preventing stabilisation of the colouring matter in a natural way. • Thermo-vinification and flash pasteurisation: can extract more unstable compounds.

Stabilising the colouring matter: • Fining: facilitates the natural precipitation of the unstable colouring matter. • Cold treatment: speeds up the natural precipitation of the unstable colouring matter. • Arabic gum: stabilisation of the colouring matter short term. • Mannoproteins: stabilisation of the colouring matter long term.

Testing for colour stability - Cold test: Stability is estimated by measuring the turbidity before and after cold.

TARTRATE STABILISATION
