Wine Flavor Chemistry • Flavor is the psychological interpretation of the physiological response to a physical stimulus • Milton Bailey, University of Missouri, 1986
WHAT CAUSES VEGY FLAVOR in WINE? 2 -methoxy 3 isobutyl pyrazine (2 ppt) Identified in Bell Peppers (1969) Sensitive to light (1986) Method for quantifying : (2003)

Evaluation of 96 Bordeaux red wines • IBMP is the contributor to vegetal aroma in Cabernet sauvignon; Cabernet franc and Sauvignon blanc • Compound only found in a minority of Merlot
Compounds released in white wines Markers for great Sauvignon blanc 4-mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-one (4MMP) (also in Scheurebe) 0.8 ng/l*; range 0-40 -- box tree, broom flower; cat pee; conifer 4-mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-ol (4MMPOH) 55 ng/l*; range 0-150 -- citrus zest; grapefruit 3-mercapto-3-methylbutan-1-ol (3MMB) 1,500 ng/l*; range 30-150 – cooked leeks 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH) 60 ng/l*; range 200-5,000 – grapefruit; passion fruit; passion fruit skin 3-mercaptohexylacetate (3MHA) (also in Merlot, Cabernet sauvignon) 4.2 ng/l*; range 0-500 – box tree; passion fruit; sweet sweaty Aqueous 12% alcohol solution with 5g/l tartaric acid; pH 3.5 25 J, triangle; 50% correct increases during fermentation as these potent thiols released from their S-cysteine conjugate precursors
Thiols in other varieties • 4MMP and A3MH (3-mercaptohexylacetate [box tree]): • Impact on aromas of Colombard and Muscat d’Alsace wines • As well as on young wines from Petit manseng* • 3MH • Contributes passion fruit and grapefruit to Gewurtztraminer, Riesling, Petit manseng and botrytized Semillon *White variety, South West France – may be Albarino: floral fruity flavors, a distinct lemon and fruit salad flavor & high acidity increasing popularity in Languedoc & California Tominaga et al. (2000) AJEV 51(2):178-182
Production, location and extraction of S-Cysteine Conjugates • Moderate water stress favor S-cysteine conjugate (P-thiol) formation; severe prolonged stress limits production • Location of P-thiolsdiffer as f(volatile thiol) • P-4MMP and P-4MMPOH -- 80% in juice • P-3MH – 50:50 between juice and skin • Upto 19 hours skin contact • Some ↑ in P-4MMP and P-4MMPOH (20% + 30%) • 50% ↑ in P-3MH (even more extracted if skin contact at 18C vs 10C) Peyrot des Gachons, Catherine: Aroma Potential of Sauvignon blanc grapes, PhD Dissertation Bordeaux
Transformation of p-thiols into varietal aromas • Transformation % low (1 month after fermentation) – due to yeast lyases • 1.4% for P-4MMP; 3% for P-4MMPOH; 4.2% for P-3MH • Not much transformed? Or Lost? Or metabolized or unstable? – do not yet know • Do know that P-thiol disappearance is correlated with thiol appearance Peyrot des Gachons, Catherine: Aroma Potential of Sauvignon blanc grapes, PhD Dissertation Bordeaux

Volatiles related to the honey attribute • Norisoprenoids: • damascenone • hydroxydamascone • dehydro ß ionone • TDN • vitispirane • actinidol • Benzene derivatives: • vanillin • acetovanillone • cinnamic acid • Others: • acetyl furan • ethyl decanoate • diethyl propanedioate • Monoterpenes: • ocimenol • furan linalool oxide • an ene diol

Vineyard Variables: Trellising or leaf removal increases light < 2-methoxy 3 isobutyl pyrazine > norisoprenoids Maturity How to assess pH, TA, °B? Grape Must Evaluation (evaluate in < 1 hour) Rinse and Crush grapes, add 20 ppm SO2 Homogenize skins/juice versus juice Grape Berry Evaluation
FERMENTATION Temperature: Cool: retain more volatiles Warmer: more esters but lose more (fruity) low MW Yeast strain:? Biggest issue is H2S production “Natural” versus inoculation Skin Contact Time/Cap Management Increase K, pH, phenols, anthocyanins Centrifuging?
AGING Terpene glycosides hydrolyze, but terpenes interconvert to less fruity forms Vitaspirane and 1,1,6 trimethyl 1,2 dihydronaphthalene increase Esters hydrolyze slowly: Acetate esters & higher MW faster. Acids esterify; pH; Tannins polymerize Oxidation reactions
