Wine is a microbial product, naturally transformed through fermentation by a consortium of fungi and bacteria that originate from the vineyard and the cellar, in addition to any microorganisms that are intentionally inoculated. Previous work has shown that grapevine-associated microbiota follow distinct biogeographic patterns, associated with climate and soil properties, and that even neighboring vineyards can harbor distinct microbial communities, but it is unclear whether these differences persist when controlling for variations in farming practices, cultivar, and climate and whether site-specific microbial profiles change during processing in the winery. Here, we investigated the bacterial and fungal microbiota of fruits pre- and post-harvest from two neighboring vineyards planted to a single variety, geographically close to one another, and farmed the same way and then processed in a single winery. These communities underwent subtle changes during processing, yet retained distinct site-specific signatures, indicating the partial contribution of the winery environment to the microbiota of grape must and juice pre-fermentation. We also profiled the microbiota of key microbial sources in the winery environment, including fruit flies ( spp.) and processing equipment, demonstrating that the microbiota at these sites reflect contact with the plant material, harbor communities distinct from the fruit, and appear to partially contribute to the fermentation assemblage, especially via the contribution of fermentative yeasts that are rare or missing in the vineyard environment. These results bolster previous reports of site-specific microbial signatures in winegrowing and make a first estimation of the changes to the grape-associated microbiome during early processing.IMPORTANCENative wine fermentations are driven by microbes carried over from the vineyard or introduced in the winery. In this study, we tracked the microbiome dynamics of wine fermentations from two Chardonnay vineyards planted in close proximity in order to examine the relative contribution of vineyard- and winery-resident microbiota on microbial succession during wine fermentation. By tracking microbial changes from the vineyard to winery, we show that the winery environment, including processing equipment and fruit flies, contributes to the fermentation microbiome but does not override vineyard-specific microbial differences. These findings support the concept of microbial terroir and highlight the importance of vineyard microbiomes in shaping wine fermentation. This work advances our understanding of how microbial diversity influences wine production and provides insights into the ecological dynamics of fermentation. By identifying key microbial sources and their contributions, this study lays the groundwork for future research on microbiomes in viticulture and winemaking.
葡萄酒是一种微生物产物,通过源自葡萄园和酒窖的真菌和细菌群落的发酵自然转化而成,此外还包括任何有意接种的微生物。先前的研究表明,与葡萄藤相关的微生物群遵循与气候和土壤特性相关的独特生物地理模式,而且即使是相邻的葡萄园也可能拥有不同的微生物群落,但尚不清楚在控制种植方式、品种和气候差异的情况下,这些差异是否仍然存在,以及特定地点的微生物特征在酒厂加工过程中是否会发生变化。在这里,我们调查了来自两个相邻葡萄园、种植单一品种、地理位置相近、种植方式相同且在同一酒厂加工的葡萄在收获前后的细菌和真菌微生物群。这些群落在加工过程中发生了细微变化,但仍保留了独特的特定地点特征,这表明酒厂环境对葡萄汁和葡萄原酒发酵前的微生物群有一定贡献。我们还分析了酒厂环境中关键微生物来源的微生物群,包括果蝇(属)和加工设备,结果表明这些地点的微生物群反映了与植物材料的接触,拥有与果实不同的群落,并且似乎对发酵菌群有一定贡献,特别是通过葡萄园环境中罕见或缺失的发酵酵母的贡献。这些结果支持了先前关于葡萄种植中特定地点微生物特征的报道,并首次估计了早期加工过程中与葡萄相关的微生物组的变化。
重要性
天然葡萄酒发酵由从葡萄园携带或在酒厂引入的微生物驱动。在本研究中,我们追踪了两个相邻种植的霞多丽葡萄园葡萄酒发酵的微生物组动态,以研究葡萄园和酒厂中常驻微生物群对葡萄酒发酵过程中微生物演替的相对贡献。通过追踪从葡萄园到酒厂的微生物变化,我们表明酒厂环境,包括加工设备和果蝇,对发酵微生物组有贡献,但不会消除葡萄园特定的微生物差异。这些发现支持了微生物风土的概念,并突出了葡萄园微生物组在塑造葡萄酒发酵中的重要性。这项工作推进了我们对微生物多样性如何影响葡萄酒生产的理解,并提供了对发酵生态动态的见解。通过确定关键微生物来源及其贡献,本研究为未来葡萄栽培和酿酒中微生物组的研究奠定了基础。
