Exploring Corbières red wine typicity: evaluation of the impact of winemaking processes on the chemical composition and organoleptic properties of wines from different terroirs

Abstract

Aromatic and polyphenolic compounds play an important role in the quality of red wines, contributing not only to flavour, but also to colour, astringency and bitterness. To explore the influence of climate and oenological practices on the chemical and sensory profile of wines, red blends from five terroirs of the Corbières appellation were analysed, taking into account two production years (2018 and 2019). The wines were a blend of at least two of four main grape varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Mourvèdre. Volatile compounds were evaluated by HS-SPME-GC-MS, while wine pigments and derived pigments were evaluated by spectrophotometric measurements. In addition, the wines were compared using a quantitative descriptive analysis sensory profile method. The percentage of the blend significantly influenced the polyphenolic and aromatic characteristics of the wines, showing distinct 'typicity' characteristics between sub-regions. Maceration techniques, on the other hand, did not did not allow us to discriminate between sub-regions, but enabled a better understanding of chemical and sensory differences between samples.
