The aim of this paper is to study the real influence of seeds and stems on wine composition, astringency, and bitterness. A decolored grape juice and a grape juice macerated for 4 days from the same Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were fermented with or without supplementation with 100% seeds, 300% seeds, or 100% stems. Once alcoholic fermentation had finished, the wines were analyzed and tasted. The presence of seeds and stems increased the concentration of flavan-3-ol monomers with respect to the controls. However, the seeds mainly released (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin, whereas the stems mainly released (+)-catechin and (+)-gallocatechin. The seeds and stems also released proanthocyanidins; those from seeds have a lower mDP and a high percentage of galloylation, whereas those from stems have a higher mDP and a relatively high percentage of prodelphinidins. The presence of seeds and stems brought about a slight but significant increase in pH and lowered titratable acidity and ethanol content. The presence of seeds boosted color intensity, whereas stems had the opposite effect. Finally, both seeds and stems increased wine astringency and bitterness.
本文旨在研究种子和果梗对葡萄酒成分、涩味和苦味的实际影响。将同一赤霞珠葡萄的脱色葡萄汁和浸渍 4 天的葡萄汁分别进行发酵,其中一些发酵液添加了 100%的种子、300%的种子或 100%的果梗,另一些则作为对照不添加。酒精发酵完成后,对葡萄酒进行分析和品尝。与对照相比,种子和果梗的存在增加了黄烷-3-醇单体的浓度。然而,种子主要释放(+)-儿茶素和(-)-表儿茶素,而果梗主要释放(+)-儿茶素和(+)-没食子儿茶素。种子和果梗也释放了原花青素;种子中原花青素的 mDP 较低,酯化率较高,而果梗中原花青素的 mDP 较高,原花青素的比例相对较高。种子和果梗的存在使 pH 值略有升高,可滴定酸度和乙醇含量降低。种子增加了颜色强度,而果梗则产生相反的效果。最后,种子和果梗都增加了葡萄酒的涩味和苦味。
