Five co-located clones of Sauvignon blanc grapes were fermented under controlled conditions at laboratory-scale to investigate the impact of yeast strain, commercial enzyme, or nutrient addition on the concentrations of enantiomers of 3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3-SH) and 3-sulfanylhexyl acetate (3-SHA) in resulting wines. The relationship of these enantiomers with the odorless 3-SH precursors present in diastereomeric forms in grape juice was also examined. Possible variations may have existed due to clone type, not only for the diastereomers of 3-SH precursors in juices but also for the enantiomers of 3-SH and 3-SHA in the resulting wines, although there was no obvious stereochemical relationship between precursors and free thiols. From a flavor enhancement perspective, the use of a commercial enzyme in the juice significantly enhanced 3-SH production for some clones. In contrast, less impact on the production of 3-SH and 3-SHA was seen as a result of yeast strain and nutrient regardless of clone type.

To clarify the effects of pervaporation and distillation on aroma profiles, the Sensomics approach investigated the aroma characteristics and key aroma compounds of Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) and Ugni Blanc (UB) grape spirits produced by pervaporation (UB-P, CS-P) and distillation (UB-D, CS-D). The results indicated that pervaporated grape spirits exhibited stronger floral and fruity aromas, while distilled grape spirits were characterized by more pronounced cooked apple and toasty aromas. Consumers preferred products with intense floral and fruity aromas and weaker cooked apple note.

Oak-barrel fermentation is used in white wine production to enhance aroma and flavor complexity. However, the dynamics of microbial communities and their impact on the formation of flavor compounds during barrel fermentation remain unclear. This study investigated the changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations, microbial communities, and volatile compounds during Sauvignon Blanc wine fermentation in various oak barrels (new and two-year-old Francois Freres and new Taransaud) and stainless-steel tanks.

Article Synopsis
  • Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc wines aged in oak barrels were studied for their resistance to oxidation during bottle storage, focusing on low and medium tannin potentials.
  • The research found that oak wood tannin potential positively impacted the wines' antioxidant capacity after 2 and 4 years of aging, with Sauvignon blanc being more affected than Chardonnay.
  • Wines aged in barrels with medium tannin levels had higher antioxidant compounds, while Sauvignon blanc volatile thiols decreased over time, emphasizing that oak barrel aging enhances oxidative stability due to tannin potential.

Controlling the microorganisms involved in alcoholic fermentation during wine production can be achieved by adding a small quantity of spontaneously fermenting must to freshly crushed grapes, a technique known as (PdC). This method not only serves as an inoculation starter but also enhances the microbial footprint unique to each wine region. Recent studies have confirmed that wines inoculated with PdC exhibit efficient fermentation kinetics comparable to those inoculated with commercial strains of .
