(2006) found that treatment with oak chips reduced the intensity of ‘lady bug taint’ ( Pickering et al., 2004), which is a taint associated with high concentrations of IPMP. Aiken and Noble (1984) found that ‘vegetal’ characteristics decreased in Cabernet Sauvignon wines after oak ageing.

The use of oak can reduce vegetal/herbaceous aromas/flavours in wines with high methoxypyrazine concentrations by a straight masking effect. Methoxypyrazines are very stable compounds due to their chemical nature and therefore are very difficult to remove or reduce in wines. Reynolds, in Managing Wine Quality: Viticulture and Wine Quality, 2010 11.11.2 Impact of pre-fermentation decisions on methoxypyrazines Since winemaking procedures probably have a minimal impact on methoxypyrazines, it is most appropriate to focus on their management through viticulture practices.Ī.G. However, heating wines are not widely practiced in premium wine production. They demonstrated that thermovinification could also prove to be useful by reducing IBMP from 29% to 67%. Settling and clarifying white wine must decreases methoxypyrazines in half ( Roujou de Boubée et al., 2002). This suggests that a fraction of methoxypyrazines is extracted from the skins during rigorous pressing. Press wines contain higher methoxypyrazines ( Roujou de Boubée et al., 2002). Lighter pressing regimes can also reduce methoxypyrazines.
Coccinella syrah skin#
Since a majority of methoxypyrazines are found in grape stems and skins, limited skin contact, and exclusion of stems or leaves from the winemaking process can reduce the amount of methoxypyrazines extracted into the resultant wines. Methoxypyrazines are highly extractable in wines ( Roujou de Boubée et al., 2002). Treatment with oak chips reduced the intensity of “lady bug taint” ( Pickering, Lin, Reynolds, Soleas, & Riesen, 2006), which is a taint associated with high IPMP concentrations ( Pickering et al., 2004). “Vegetal” characteristics decreased in Cabernet Sauvignon wines after oak aging ( Aiken & Noble, 1984). The use of oak can reduce vegetal/herbaceous aromas/flavors in wines with high methoxypyrazine concentrations by a straight masking effect.
