Abstract
Although Brettanomyces bruxellensis continues to be a problem during red winemaking due to formation of off-odours and flavours, few interactions between intrinsic and extrinsic conditions that would limit spoilage have been identified. Using a commercially prepared Merlot wine, a 3 × 2 × 2 complete factorial design was implemented with total SO2 (0, 60 or 100 mg l-1 ), ethanol (13% or 14·5% v v-1 ) and storage temperature (15° or 18°C) as variables. Populations of two strains of B. bruxellensis isolated from Washington wines (I1a and F3) were monitored for 100 days before concentrations of 4-ethylphenol, 4-ethylguaiacol and volatile acidity were measured. In wines with 13% v v-1 ethanol and stored at 15°C, addition of 100 mg l-1 total SO2 resulted in much longer lag phases (>40 days) compared with wines without sulphites. At 14·5% v v-1 ethanol, culturability did not recover from wines with 100 mg l-1 total SO2 regardless of the storage temperature (15° or 18°C). A few significant interactions were noted between these parameters which also affected synthesis of metabolites. Thus, SO2 , ethanol concentration and storage temperature should be together used as means to reduce infections by B. bruxellensis. The potential for utili...Continue Reading
