Article Abstract
The relationship between grape composition and subsequent red wine ester profile was examined. Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz, from the same Australian very warm climate vineyard, were harvested at two different stages of maturity and triplicate wines were vinified. Grape analyses focused on nitrogen and lipid composition by measuring 18 amino acids by HPLC-FLD, 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and 6 C6-compounds derived from lipid degradation by GC-MS. Twenty esters and four higher alcohols were analyzed in wines by HS-SPME-GC-MS. Concentrations of the ethyl esters of branched acids were significantly affected by grape maturity, but the variations were inconsistent between cultivars. Small relative variations were observed between wines for ethyl esters of fatty acids, whereas higher alcohol acetates displayed the most obvious differences with concentrations ranging from 1.5- to 26-fold higher in Shiraz than in Cabernet Sauvignon wines regardless of the grape maturity. Grape analyses revealed the variations of wine ester composition might be related to specific grape juice nitrogen composition and lipid metabolism. To the authors' knowledge the present study is the first to investigate varietal differences in the ester profiles of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines made with grapes harvested at different maturity stages.

Background: As climate warms, the sugars and secondary metabolites in grapes gradually become uncoupled during development, resulting in the phenomenon of overripe fruit becoming more frequent around the world, especially in some arid regions. However, the key metabolic regulations to grape overripening are still poorly understood. To address this, we conducted a multi-omics study on Cabernet Sauvignon overripe berries over two years, analyzing the non-targeted metabolome, transcriptome, and proteome, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for delayed harvest strategies based on grape quality.

During the aging process, oxygen regulation was applied to Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine (CSDRW) from the Turpan region. Through physicochemical analysis, headspace solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), combined with differential significance analysis and sensory evaluation, this study analyzed the effects of different oxygen concentrations on the quality of Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine from Turpan. The results indicated that oxygen regulation facilitated the polymerization of phenolic substances, enhanced color intensity, and reduced the content of total sulfur and anthocyanins.

Vitis vinifera grapevines are susceptible to downy and powdery mildews, requiring 4-10 chemical treatments per season in Israel. Resistant grape varieties offer an alternative. Hybrid varieties developed by the Weinbauinstitut Freiburg were introduced in Israel for disease resistance evaluation in different climatic regions through an understanding of the resistance mechanism based on secondary metabolite profiles.

Grape (Vitis vinifera) is susceptible to fungal pathogens and, consequently, severe yield losses. Investigating the immune mechanisms of the disease-resistant Chinese wild grapes is crucial for developing sustainable disease resistance technologies. Here, we conducted whole-transcriptome and methylated-RNA-immunoprecipitation sequencing to elucidate the immune defence mechanisms underlying grapevine responses to bacterial flagellin 22 (flg22).

Rootstocks are widely used in viticulture as an agronomic measure to cope with biotic and abiotic stresses. In winegrapes, the aroma is one of the major factors defining the quality of grape berries and wines. In the present work, the grape aroma and wine aroma of Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) grafted on three rootstocks were investigated to inform the selection of rootstocks to utilize.
