Frankland Estate’s Hunter Smith reflects on what may well be a near perfect 2018 vintage. E’VE BEEN MAKING RIESLING in the Frankland River region since we first Wplanted vines over thirty years ago, it’s the varietal that we’re often renowned for. Whilst winemakers often talk of idyllic vintage conditions, there’s been few years that we’ve been so excited about as we are 2018. It was near perfect – a wet three months from July to September 2017 set up the vines beautifully for a flourish of spring growth. The weather gods then shone upon us with sunshine sparking an onset of good flowering, which resulted in average to above average crops. Rainfall was below average, but the cool daily temperatures meant that the vines showed no water stress.When the time came to harvest the fruit and see it carefully make its way into the winery, it was nothing short of pristine. We knew we had both excellent flavour ripeness and good acid levels – mouth- wateringly good! PATIENCE NOW BEING REWARDED Whilst the perfect ripening conditions have helped produce an exceptional 2018 vintage, the three decades of vineyard management and evolution of viticultural practices are also starting to pay dividends in terms of quality. Tweaking our pruning regimes and trellising systems, selecting particular varietal clones of wines and utilising organic fertilisers to encourage a unique microbiology in our soils to allow them to flourish, are all having an impact on the evolution of what defines our brand. It’s now been fourteen years of managing the vineyards organically and we’re confident that the depth and complexity of the flavours is due to this constant pursuit of excellence.

This study investigated the extent to which commercial winemaking supplements (skin and seed tannins, and mannoprotein (MP)) can enhance the mouthfeel properties of red wine, in particular, wine made from grapes harvested before commercial ripeness (early-harvest). Supplements were added to wines made from Shiraz grapes harvested at 20.8 and 24.5 ◦Brix. The chemical composition and mouthfeel properties of wines were then determined by high performance liquid chromatography and descriptive analysis (DA), respectively. Wines made from riper grapes had higher levels of tannin than wines made from early-harvest grapes, but similar polysaccharide levels were observed.

  • Wine Ph, Copper and 'Reductive' Aromas in Wines
    VITICULTUREAWRI Wine pH, copper and ‘reductive’ aromas in wines By Marlize Z. Bekker, Paul A. Smith, Eric N. Wilkes and Dan Johnson Managing director The Australian Wine Research Institute. PO Box 197, Glen Osmond, South Australia Dan Johnson Managing wine pH is important for nearly all aspects of winemaking, including protection against microbial spoilage, colour stability, tartrate precipitation and wine aroma and flavour. Recent research at the AWRI has investigated the effects of wine pH and the interaction between wine pH and copper on the formation of ‘reductive’ aromas post-bottling in Chardonnay and Shiraz wines. Elevated residual copper concentrations were associated with increased hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methanethiol (MeSH), and carbon disulfide (CS2) concentrations; however, when the pH was lowered to 3.0, significantly less 2H S and MeSH were produced. Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) was not affected by copper additions; however, at lower pH up to 27% less DMS was produced in Shiraz wines after six months of storage. INTRODUCTION AT A GLANCE Certain volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) normally found in • The post-bottling formation of several ‘reductive’ wine are associated with ‘reductive’ aromas, often described as aroma compounds in wine (hydrogen sulfide, rotten egg, sewage, rubber, cooked vegetables and canned corn. methanethiol and carbon disulfide) was significantly The main compounds associated with these aromas are hydrogen affected by elevated copper concentrations. • The effects of added copper on hydrogen sulfide and sulfide (H2S), methanethiol (MeSH) and dimethyl sulfide (DMS). methanethiol formation were decreased when the Carbon disulfide (CS2) may also have a negative impact on wine wine pH was lowered.

  • The Case of Australian Shiraz in the Context of the Australian Domestic
    Regionality and drivers of consumer liking: the case of Australian Shiraz in the context of the Australian domestic wine market. Trent E. Johnson A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Adelaide Faculty of Sciences School of Agriculture, Food and Wine Wine Science and Business Group May 2013 Thesis Summary Understanding the needs of consumers is a fundamental principle of marketing and Shiraz is arguably the most important grape variety produced in Australia, as it is the variety most widely associated, both domestically and globally, with Australia’s wine industry. This three part project examined consumers in the Australian domestic wine market in respect of their liking of Australian Shiraz and provided up to date market intelligence on that market. The first stage of the project consisted of a study that segmented the Australian domestic market using a newly developed Fine Wine Instrument (FWI) that consisted of three variables, as the base. This instrument identified three segments in the market which were denoted: “Connoisseurs”; “Aspirants”; and “No Frills” wine consumers. The Connoisseur segment consumed more wine, spent more money on wine and was more knowledgeable about wine than the other segments identified in the market. The results demonstrated that this segment of consumers was important to the Australian wine industry, as they offered large potential lifetime earnings to the industry. This project also identified a number of stable segments within that market and provided updated information on the market. The next stage introduced the Shiraz variety into the project and was motivated by Wine Australia’s “Regional Heroes” brand segmentation.

Beyond provenance, the sensory experience of fine wine is often linked to consumption with appropriate foods. For this purpose, studies were undertaken to understand consumer perceptions of what constitutes a fine wine, which sensory and chemical factors may define fine Australian Chardonnay and Shiraz wines from various regions, the sensory attributes driving appropriate food and wine pairings, and how these relate to consumer perceptions of provenance, the overall consumer experience and memorability. Methods and Results: An online survey was conducted with Australian wine consumers (n = 349) to generate a consumer driven definition of fine Australian wine (FAW) based on sensory attributes, grape variety, wine region, label information, and food pairing, and to assess how that definition differs

The volatile composition of the wines was assessed through the determination of 76 molecules. After identifying the best matrix and best model for aroma reconstitution studies, omission tests were conducted using the Pivot profile method. For both vintages, 35 molecules with odor activity values (OAVs) above 0.5 were identified. While remarkably high levels of 2-furfurylthiol (FFT) were reported in both wines, rotundone and 3- sulfanylhexanol (3SH) enabled the strongest discrimination between the two wines.
