Exemples of Interspecific Varieties Baco noir Extremely vigorous variety which is best grown on heavy soils. Excessive vigor often occurs on light soils,. The fruit is usually high in acid and produce wines of goodquality which are usually deeply pigmented but low in tannin content.

Cascade is a productive and moderately hardy variety.. Wines are generally light in color and body with low acidity.

Chambourcin is a late ripening grape which may produce a highly rated red wine when fruit fully matures. It requires a long growing season and a site less subject to low winter temperatures.

Exemples of Interspecific Varieties

Chancellor was once widely planted in France for table wine production. It is moderately cold hardy and productive. In terms of wine quality, Chancellor is among the better French-American varieties.

Chelois wine quality ranks highly among the French-American hybrids.. Chelois is suitable for blending with other red hybrids . Vines are healthy, vigorous and productive,

De Chaunac is a very productive and vigorous variety.. Wine is only fair in quality and the vine is subject to soil borne virusproblems. Because of shrinking demand, acreage has declined dramatically in recent years.

Exemples of Interspecific Varieties

Maréchal Foch is a very early ripening black grape with small berries that produce a fruity light red table wine. The vines are hardy and medium in vigor and production. Maréchal Fochshould be grafted on a resistant rootstock to ensure adequate vigor.

Rougeon The wine is of high color and is used primarily for blending

Villard noir is a late ripening, productive variety which, on favorable sites, produces good quality red wine. For best performance, choose a site with moderate winter temperatures and a long growing season. Grafted vines are recommended to improve vigor, especially on heavy soils.

Examples of Interspecific Varieties

Aurore is the most widely planted non-labrusca grape in New York. Processors have used Aurore to extend the harvest season since the fruit matures in late August and early September, before most other varieties are ripe.Wine quality is poor and it is being replaced by interspecific varieties of higher quality. The major use has been for bulk wine production, frequently blended with V. labruscavarieties.

Vincent was released in 1967 by the Horticultural Research Institute of Ontario (HRIO) at Vineland, Canada. The vine is medium in vigor, very productive and ripens late. This dark blue grape produces a very dark juice that is useful for blending with varieties with low pigment content.

Exemples of Interspecific Varieties Cayuga White, is one of the most productive and disease resistant varieties grown in New York. Its wine has been highly rated, having medium body, and good balance. An important positive attribute is its versatility; it lends itself to making semi-sweet wines emphasizing the fruity aromas, and is also made as a dry, less fruity wine with oak aging. When harvested early, it may produce a very attractive sparkling wine with good acidity, good structure, and pleasant aromas.

Vidal blanc is a heavily productive white wine grape which produces good quality wine when the fruit reaches maturity. It requires sites with long growing seasons and moderate winter temperatures. Small berries are borne on very large, compact.

Chardonel (Plant patent 7860) was named by Cornell University in 1990 due to superior performance. This cross of Chardonnay produces an excellent wine when fully ripened, with fruit aromascharacteristic of Chardonnay and Seyval.

Red cultivarsRed cultivars ::

Cabernet sauvignonCabernet sauvignon :

Is associated with the finest European red wines like Bordeaux wines. The wine produce from this grape-variety is known as one of the world's finest red wines, with its depth of complexity and richness of flavour. Red Bordeaux wines are created with Cabernet Sauvignon, often blended with Cabernet Franc and Merlo.

Gamay noir Gamay noir ::It is the primary black grape of France's Beaujolais region, where the wines are typically fermented, spared from aging, and consumed young to appreciate their fresh, fruity qualities, with more tang than tannin.Varietal aroma and flavours are similar to

fruit (cherry, strawberry, raspberry) and floral ( violet, rose ).The wine produce by Carbonic Macerationhave aroma and flavours like banana,bubblegum, cotton candy (spun sugar).After aging in oak barrel (rarely) : vanilla,

coconut, sweet wood, oak, smoke, toast, tar flavours develop.

Nebbolio :

It is the wine of the Piemont hills in the Northwest of Italia.

It is the base of the Barolo's, the Barbaresco and several other Italian superquality wines .

The wine will reach a deep and intense ruby red colour. This is a full body wine, with flavours of raspberry and violet and even liquorice.

Pinot noir Pinot noir ::It is a "light red" wine, first planted by the Gauls, before the Roman invasion.The Pinot Noir grape is the main grape used in much of Burgundy, Champagne, and red Sancerre wine . A Pinot Noir's colour can be any of a

range of colours from cherry red to puple red and even brown as the wine ages. Typical flavours include earth, leather, vanilla (from the oak), and jam. The fruity flavours of the jam often

taste like raspberry, strawberry, and plum

Sangiovese Sangiovese ::It is the primary grape used in Northern

Italy in the region of Tuscany, to make Chianti and also for Brunello di Montalcino.

Sangiovese produces wines that are spicy, with good acid levels, smooth texture and medium body.

The flavour profile of Sangiovese is fruity, with moderate to high natural acidity and generally a medium-body ranging from firm and elegant to assertive and robust and a finish that can tend towards bitterness.

The aroma is generally not as assertive and easily identifiable as Cabernet Sauvignon, but can have strawberry, blueberry, faintly floral, violet or plummy character.

Syrah Syrah ::

It is the only grape used to make the famousRhône wines of Côte Rotie and Hermitage, but also forms the backbone of most Rhône blends, including Chateauneuf du Pape in the south of France. Syrah forms intense wines, with deep violet, nearly black colour, texture and richness, and often alcoholic strength, with aromas that tend to be more spicy than fruity.

Varietal Aromas/Flavours:Fruit: black currant, blackberryTerroir: musk, civet, truffle, earthFloral: grassHerbal: sandalwood, cedar

Processing Bouquets/Flavors:Oak (light): vanilla, coconut, sweet woodSpice: black pepper, licorice, clove, thyme, bay leafOak (heavy): oak, smoke, toast, tarBottle Age: cedar, cigar box,

Tempranillo :It is originated in Spain, Rioja

region. Also grown in Argentina and Portugal.

Young Temparanillo has a distinctive strawberry and cherry flavour.

When aged, tends to have aplummy spiciness overlaid with hints of vanilla oak.

Grenache Grenache ::

Grenache noir is the world's most widely planted grape used to make red wine, sometimes made into a stand-alone varietal, frequently as a rosé, but most often as a backbone of red blends. It is one of the primary grapes of Chateauneuf du Pape and used nearly exclusively for Rhône rosés and as a major component in many red Rhône blends in France.

Varietal Aromas/Flavours :Fruit: black currant, blackberryCharacter: rustic, fleshy, sweet, dusty.

Processing Bouquets/Flavors :Oak (light) vanilla, sweet wood.Oak (heavy) oak, smoke, toast, tar.Bottle Age: tobacco, dried apricot, cigar box.

Malbec Malbec ::Malbec is popular in Argentina and Chile.

While it once was also grown in Bordeaux, it is rarely used here in modern years. Malbec is now the dominant red varietal in the Cahors (France) area. The Appellation Controlée regulations forCahors require a minimum content of 70%. In Argentina it is almost the most-planted red grape, and is the third most planted in Chile.

This black grape creates a rustic, mid-bodied wine, but is most often used in blending with other wines.

One of the traditional "Bordeaux varietals",Malbec has characteristics that fall somewhere between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. A midseason ripener, it can bring very deep colour, ample tannin, and a particular plum-like flavour component to add complexity to claret blends.

Merlot Merlot ::It is by far the most widely planted grape of the entire Bordeaux region

and third, behind carignan and grenache as the most planted black variety in France. It is the basis of the wines of St. Emilion and Pomerol. Château Petrus (most expensive Bordeau) is over 90% Merlot. Merlot usually plays a supporting role in typical Medoc blends with Cabernet sauvignon and Cabernet franc. It is to the American wine consumer in the 1990s as "burgundy" was in the 70s. Less than 2,000 acres existed in California in 1985; there are over 12,000 acres today.

Varietal Aromas/Flavours :Fruit: currant, black cherry, plum .Spice: caramel, clove, bay leaf, green peppercornHerbal: bell pepper, green oliveFloral: violet, rose

Cabernet franc Cabernet franc ::

Recent studies in ampelographyhave determined that Cabernet franc is one of the genetic parents of Cabernet sauvignon (the other is sauvignonblanc). Both Cabernet varieties are among the five major grapes of Bordeaux. There are Cabernet franc vineyards in Romania, Hungary, the Balkans, north eastern Italy). New in Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina. In the United States, Cabernet franc is planted in Long Island, New York, and in Washington state. California has about 2,000 acres, mostly planted since 1980.

Varietal Aromas/Flavours:Fruit: raspberry, cherry, plum, strawberry.Floral: violet .Herbal: bell pepper, stems.

White cultivarsWhite cultivars :

Chardonnay Chardonnay ::Is ther most well-known wthite cultivars. Its

popularity comes from its consistent production of an appealing fruit fragance. Chardonnay also produce Champagne, the finest sparkling wines and the finest Burgundy wines like Meursault.

Varietal Aromas/Flavours:Stone Fruits: apple, pear, peach, apricot.Citric Fruits: lemon, lime, orange, tangerine.Tropical Fruits: pineapple, banana, mango, guava, kiwi.Floral: acacia, hawthorn.Terroir: flint, mint.Processing Bouquets/Flavours:Malolactic: butter, cream, hazelnutOak (light): vanilla, sweet wood, coconutOak (heavy): oak, smoke, toast, lees, yeast.

GewGewüürztraminerrztraminer ::It is one of the most pungent wine

varietals, easy for even the beginning taster to recognize by its heady, aromatic scent. It is one of the major vareities used for Alsace wines in France near Germany, bout also in Germany and in Italy's Tyrollean Alps.

Varietal Aromas/Flavours: Floral: rose petal, gardenia, honeysuckle.Fruity : lychee, linalool, peach, mango.Aggressive: spice, perfume.Processing Bouquets/Flavours:Petroleum: terpene, diesel. Wood: oak (not usually) Late Harvest: Botrytis, honey, sweet cabbage.

SSemillonemillon ::It is the majority white variety in Bordeaux, Graves, and

Sauternes,There are more in Chile than anywhere else on earth. Early in the viticultural development of Australia, Semillon dominated as the major white variety. Semillon grapes make up 80% of the blend in the most expensive and famous late-harvest wine in the world, Château d'Yquem. It seems the favorite foil of Botrytis Cinerea, the noble rot which concentrates the sugars, flavours and aromas of Sauternes wines in France (Bordeaux).

Varietal Aromas/Flavours:Fruity: fig, lemon, pea.rSpice: saffron.Herbal: grass, weeds.Vegetal: bell pepper, asparagus.Processing Bouquets/Flavours :Botrytis: apricot, quince, peach,

honey, pineapple, vanilla, candy.Malolactic: butter, cream.Oak (light): vanilla, sweet wood.Oak (heavy): oak, smoke, toast.

Sauvignon Sauvignon ::Is the major white cultivar

in bordeaux and the upper Loire valley in France.It is popular in California and New Zeland. Although, it often shows green peeper and herbaceous odours, better clones possess subtil floral character.

Riesling Riesling ::Because of both its cellar longevity and its ability to maintain varietal identity

while reflecting the individuality of its terroir, Riesling may be the best of all the white wine grapes. Its homeland is Germany. Finest Late harvest wines are produced (noble rot) in Germany : Trockenbeerenauslese.The best German vineyards on the Mosel River produce riesling wines that are unique in their low alcohol, powerful aroma, and high extract.

This grape also is very successful in Alsace (France), California, Washington and Oregon, but also Australia, South Africa, Chile, Austria, Switzerland, Russia, Yugoslavia, and Italy.

Varietal Aromas/Flavours:Floral: woodruff, rose petal. Stone Fruits: apple, pear, peach apricot.Tropical Fruits: (not usually).Growing & Processing Bouquets/Flavours:violetPetroleum: terpene, diesel.Mineral: flint, steel, gun metal .

Muscat Muscat : :

Muscat is a very ancient variety and, with its strong and distinctive perfume, was probably one of the first to be identified and cultivated. Nearly every Mediterranean country has a famous wine based on Muscat and varying from light and bone dry, to low-alcohol sparkling versions, to very sweet and alcoholic potions.

Varietal Aromas/Flavours:Perfume: terpine.Spice: coriander.Fruit: peach, orange.

Processing Bouquets/Flavours:(best if not aged in wood)

Pinot gris Pinot gris ::probably is the best-known "white" variant-

clone of Pinot Noir. Ripe pinot gris grapes may be described as having colours from bluish grey to light pinkish brown.

The main base of Pinot gris appreciation isAlsace in France and Friuli in Italy.

In Alsace, the Pinot gris grape is called tokay d'Alsace (no relation to the Hungarian Tokay). Riesling is produced also in California and Oregon.

Varietal Aromas/Flavours:Floral: (vague) Fruit: apple, pear.

Harvest method Harvest method ::Manual :

•traditional method preserves the fruit integrity. Some cultivars (Semillon, Muscat) are crushed so easily that unacceptable juice loss occurs during mechanical harvesting.•possibility to sort good berries specially for botrytised late harvest grape.•In France,few appellation control wines (Champagne), mechanical harvest is forbiden.

Mechanical : Advantages :

•1 - one machine works equivalent to 80 workers.

•2 - fruit harvest under almost any weather conditions or any time of the day can save a crop, when conditions demand rapid harvest.

•3 - grape can be quickly deliveried to the winery for processing without deterioration of the fruit, especially, in hot and humid conditions (fungi, bacteria)

Disadvantages :

•1 - the most important is that leaves are present in the harvested grape gives undesirable herbaceous flavours, bitterness, and astringent wines.

•2 – impossible sort.

Fermentation begin during macération : ethanol is the major solvant for pigment and tanin extractions

Maceration for a long time at 24 to 27° C

Performances of the turbo-pigeage


Maceration and fermetation occurs in conjunction

CO2 produced from the fermentation process is traped as little bubbles in the mass of stems and grape skins, eventually making them float to the surface, creating a cap, or cap, or ““chapeauchapeau” in French. Once float to the surface, the juice is no longer in contact,therefore, the necessary colours and flavours are no longer extracted.


There are seven different methods of vinifying red wine to have the best extracting colour, aromas and tannins from the grape skins :

•1 - The traditional french pigeage or punching the cap down, consists of stamping the grapes with the feet. Today, many equipments exist like turbo-pigeage.


•2 -. Submerged cap process : the juice is placed in a tank below a stainless steel screen that will keep the skins and stalks below the surface of the juice. The best version of the submerged cap incorporates a chimney in the middle of the screen, allowing thegas to escape and keeping the skins and stalks free.


•3 - :pumping over : the juice is pumped out from the bottom of the vat and sprayed into the top onto the skins and stalks. The juice extracts colour as it falls through the cap.

pump

MacMacéération ration : : red mustsred musts• 4 Autovinificator: Algeria in the 1950s, there was often no power in the far reaches of the countr., It resembles a big box with three layers inside.

The top layer is a trough with a tube where juice comes out and another where it falls back in.

The middle layer is where the grape stalks and skins are placed, and where the tube allowing juice back in stops.

The bottom layer is where all the fermenting juice is placed. As the carbon dioxide gas pressure from fermentation

increases, juice is sent up the tube that empties into the trough at the top until the juice level falls below that of the gas escape tube. The pressure drops and the juice that is now in the trough falls back through, onto the cap and back into the fermenting juice, and the process continues.


•4 Autovinificator: While, this is an extremely efficient method, it does not allow for temperature control and there is also a risk of oxidation for the juice.

It is frequently used in Portugal to make Port, where extracting as much colour as possible in a very short time is necessary to the best quality of the final wine.


• 5 rotary fermenters : Similar to a cement truck, rotaryfermenters are vats with paddles inside. Turning thefermenter in one direction uses the paddles to mix the juice and grape skins, and turning ito the anther direction will empty the fermenter . These fermenters tend to be very good with difficult grapes, such as Pinot Noir, that has relatively smaller amounts of colour pigments found in the skin.

•6 thermovinification :- It easy to extract colour by heating up the juice and skins to 60 to 75°C for about 20 minutes. -It used to improve colour extraction from pale colour grape varieties.- Thermovinification favours rapid fermentation- The must is pressed immediately after heating up and only the juice is fermented.

-The negative side of this process is the prodcution of a cooked flavour and bluish tint to the colour


•7 Carbonic maceration (Beaujolais nouveau) :is used during primary fermation to produce light red wineswith low tannins, intense colour, and fresh, fruity flavours and aromas should be consumed early.

• Two fermentations take place during the carbonic maceration process, temperature is about 30° - 32°C.

First inside the grapes themselve, anaerobic metabolism of berries is favoured.

Second the usual fermentation by yeast.


The carbonic maceration process begins by dumping whole bunches of freshly picked, uncrushed grapes into the large vats filled with carbon dioxide and selected yeast.

In this process :

The bottom grapes are crushed by the weight of the grapes above them, and fermentation begins with the exuded juice

Fermentation develops more carbon dioxide gas, which envelops the upper layers of uncrushed grapes and blocks the air exposure that normally would occur.

Fermentation begins within the whole grapes, and in free run juice.

. Finally, the whole batch is pressed, and fermentation is finished in a usual way.

Transformations during carbonic maceration Transformations during carbonic maceration ::

20% of the fruit may be ruptured to release juice.

During the initial phase, autolysis of cellular structures leads to 35 – 55% ruptured fruits.

Alcoholic content in berry (alcoholic fementation) increases to reach 2.5 % that stop all berry metabolisms (after 6 to 8days)

Activation of the shikimic acid patway occurs with accumulation of aromatic phenolic compounds such as, ethyl cinnamate, benzaldehyde, vinyl benzene and esters, salicyclic acid, eugenol, ethyl or methyl vanillates, guaiacols, phenols

Increase in ammonium content and availability of amine acids explain rapid inception and complétion of alcoholic fermentation

Carbonic macerationCarbonic maceration……..

Second phase occurs at low temperature (18 to 20 °C ) To preserve fruity flavour of wines.

Alcoholic fermentation usually complete within 48 hours.

Advantages of carbonic maceration :

1 - Development of a unique fruity bouquet and mild taste (when transform grape with little unique varietal aroma). Carbonic maceration enhance the expression of varietal aromas such as Syrah or Marechal foch

2 - Early maturing character of the wines. Wines are enjoyable only a few weeks after production (vins primeurs in french are consumed in November, 2 months after harvest.

Carbonic macerationCarbonic maceration……..Disadvantages of carbonic maceration :

1- Rapid loss of the fruity aroma that chracterize the process. Shelf life is only about six months to a year.

2 - Need to harvest manually

3 - Tie up fermentor space at harvest time.

Pressing Pressing ::Pressing separates the juice or partially vinified wine from seeds

and skin of the must.

Batch press : vertical or horizontal, requires repeated cycle of filling, pressing and dumping.

Continous press : more efficient and more rapid than batch press. They run without interruption. Juice is added at one end and pressed pomace is ejected at the other end.

Advantages \ Disadvantages :- High pressure is usualy required in continous-press operation,

often extract excessive amounts of suspensded solids.- 0.1 to 0.5% suspended solid favours rapid and complete

fermentation, but higher level leads to add high level of sulfite and difficult to clarify.

Pressing Pressing ::To achieve better control of the levels of suspended solids, most

premium wine producers use either horizontal or pneumatic presses.

This press applies pressure more uniformly over a large surface, permitting the use of lower pressure.

During pressing, they are several cyles, each is separated by acrumbling.

Crumbling breaks up the pressed pomace and permits easier extraction of the entrapped juice/wine.

Note : -The individual pressed fraction is often kept for individual fermentation. - in red wine making, the latter pressing fractions contain the highest concentration of pigments and tanins.-It is possible to blend these different wines to produce desiredwine.

Maturation in Oak

Heating oak staves over an open fire

soften the wood and ease stave bending


Maturation in Oak

The firing induces the hydrolysis of hemicelluloses and converts sugars released from hemicelluloses in furan aldehydes such as furfural, 3-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furfuraldehyde

Note : because of the considerable expensiveness associated withbarrels and maintenance, one option is the use of long oak stips.


Maturation in Oak

Wine maturation in new oak cooperage is often used to add elements of flavour complexity

( boisé in Franch )


Maturation in Oak : •White oak species : Quercus alba, Q. robur, Q. sessilis, they are different in aromatic and tanin compositions among these different species.•More than 200 aromatic constituents have been isolated.•Two thirds of the compounds those dissolve into wine are phenolic compounds.


Maturation in Oak : Phenolic compounds are :

•Ellagitanins : polymer of gallic acid / glucose dimers.

•Ferrulic and p-coumaric acids

•Lignins : (with wine) break down to release a wide range of phenolic aldehydes such as : vanillin, syinaldehyde and cinnamaldehyde. (vanilla fragrance associated with prolonged aging in oak)


Maturation in Oak :

•Other compounds are :

•Oak lactones : isomers of 3-methyl-g-octalactone and γ-nonalactones.

Wines Appellation Control Law in France Wines Appellation Control Law in France ::

L'INAO (National Institute of the Labels of Origin), Is a publicetablishment instituted by the law of July 30, 1935.

Its missions : recognition of the labels of Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC), and labels of origin of higher quality, Vins DeQualité Supérieure (VDQS)the different labels or designations are:

AOC : Appellation d'Origine ContrôléeAOVDQS : Appellation d'Origine : Vin délimité de QualitéSupérieureVins de paysVins de table

In E.U there are two classifications of wine : VQPRD : Wine of quality produced in determined regionVins de table

AOC :'Verified Place of Origin'these wines are the finest, and are scrupulously regulated. They are typical and specific wines whose characteristics are linked to :

geographical origin (french term=terroir)grape varietyviticultural practicesmaximum yield by hectaretechniques of winemakingminimum alcohol contentphysico-chemical analysistasting

Today : 90,000 wine growers have their activity based on AOC production.

The surface production is of 459,740 Ha, ie 51% of the whole French vineyard.Volume production is 3 billion bottles, 41% of the total productionThe sales of AOC wine exceeds 61 Billion francs, export exceed 30 billion francs.
