Q

How soil affects the characteristics of the wine ?

A

Sand gives light, early maturing wines

Chalk produces supple wines and good alcohol levels

Gravel provides finesse

Clay gives a heavier firmer style with deep color, more aromas and tannins

Q

What is Alcoholic fermentation ?

Study These Flashcards
A

It is the transformation of sugar into alcohol by the action of yeast

25
What is the differences between physiological ripeness and Phenolic ripeness?
The physiological ripeness. This index, refers to industrial ripeness and it is measured by using refractometer or hydrometer Phenolic ripeness. This index, refers to the pigments and tannis reaching maturity and this is measured by biting into the grape and chewing the seeds . They should be brittle, crunchy, and tasted toasted.
26
What is raising?
Concentration of the sugar in grapes by either suspending them on netting or laying them out on straw after harvest, or vine raising brunches by leaving them dry naturally
27
What is malolactic fermentation?
Breakdown malic acid into lactic acid caused by a lactic bacteria called cocci. This reduces the acidity by 50%. It is a secondary fermentation that occurs after the al Colin fermentation.
28
Improvements in wine that are legal:
``` Lack of alcohol Lack of acidity Excess acidity Color too pale Improving tannin Excess of sugar ```
29
What is yeast?
Microscopic unicellular fungus of variable form which naturally transforms grape sugar into alcohol
30
Who discover yeast?
Luis Pasteur
31
What is a Pied de Cuvée?
It’s a traditional yeast starter. To encourage an early start, some grapes are harvested early and left fermented. This starter the is added to the new must with active yeast.
32
Why is oak aging essential?
- clarification and degassing take place - interaction with oxygen is quicker in oak - intensify color and soften tannin - it homogenizes production
33
What about aging in vast?
It is useful to homogenize production and to avoid variations in wine quality within batch.
34
What is finishing and filtration?
Fining It is traditionally done using egg white and this is a very old method for clarifying stabilizing the color of wine. The proceed consist of adding finings to wine (usually a protein such as egg white, gelatin or casein) which will attract suspended particles and drag them to the bottom of the bat or barrel.
35
What changes can happen in clarification ?
Slight color loss Reduce astringency Softening of tannins
36
What it is the difference between red and white wine vinification?
For red wines pressing takes place after alcoholic fermentation. Maceration with skins takes place before pressing and this gives color to the wine. White wine, the pulp of the wine needs to be white, NB the press is before alcoholic fermentation.
37
Process in red wine
Grapes Destemming (opcional) Crushing Alcohol fermentation Cap Pressed wine Malolactic fermentation ``` Free run Wine Malolactic fermentation Blending free run and pressed wine Sulfite and maturation (vast or barrel) Fining and filtration Bottling ```
38
How white wines are classified?
Dry - 4grams per little Semi sweet 4 - 12 Medium 12 - 45 Sweet +45 grams
39
What are the two mayor methods to produce rose?
Direct pressing | Abreviares maceration
40
How you classified the champagne according the sweetness?
``` Brut nature -3grms (no sugar added - zero dosage) Extra brut 0 -7gms Brut - 12gms Extra dry - 12 a17 grams Sec 17 - 32 grams Demi sec 32 - 50’grams Doux +50 grams ```
41
Process to make champagne:
Same as white wine. Only two presses is allowed (one for vintage) - bottling: add liqueur de tírage (sugar and yeast) this will crear the bubbles - secondary ferementation: bottles will be place in slats at 13-18c Ana remains in dead yeast lees for 15monts for non vintage and 36 months for vintage. The longer they remained in the lees the finer the bubbles and foam will be. - Riddling bottles are stacked in an easel and riddle until the deposit is in the neck of the upturned bottle. - disgorging: remove the deposite using existing Co2 pressure in the bottle. This is done by freezing the neck of the bottle. - topping up.: this enable the bottle to be filled to the same level liqueur de dosage (sugar + wine) which determines the sweetness level
42

On right banck, clay, particular great for Merlot and limestone, specially in St Emilion On left bank, gravelly and acidic soils. Great for Cabernet Sauvignon South of Bordeaux, landes Gascone, Sandy Soils, less favorable for the production of great wines
