Initial Itasca Juice Chemistry

• Harvested September 28, 2017

• Yield was almost 10 pounds/vine in young vines

• Brix 23.9

• pH 3.08

• TTA 9.3 g/L

Does yeast matter?

• There are 1000’s of commercially available yeast strains and hybrid yeast strains

• Some yeasts are especially good at producing certain types of aroma and flavor compounds

• With Itasca being a new cultivar, we were curious to see how it would respond to three different yeasts that are known to enhance certain types of aromas and flavors…

Yeasts Used in Trials

• Lallemand DV-10; control yeast, almost neutral

• Lalvin’s “K1” (aka V1116); Esters

• AWRI’s “Alchemy 2”; Thiols

• Laffort’s “VL-1”; Terpenes

Yeast K1 (V1116), Esters

• Fruit-like and fruity aromatics• Ethyl Acetate, the most prominent ester in wine

• A fault at high concentrations• At low concentrations can be desirable, adds fruitiness• Is both an acetate and an ethyl ester

• Acetate esters• Isoamyl: Fruity, Banana• Isobutyl: Fruity, Apple

• Ethyl esters• Hexanoate: Strawberry, Green Apple, Anise• Octanoate: Fruity, Ripe Fruit, “Beer characteristics”• Decanoate: Oily, Fruity, Floral

Yeast Alchemy 2, Thiols• Thiols are Sulphur-containing compounds

that can be either positive or negative.

• Negative thiols can be H2S aromas like rotten egg, or other smoky & skunky aromas, or thioacetic acid esters and mercaptans like onion, garlic, & cabbage

• Positive Thiols are the “Volatile Thiols”• Grapefruit, Passion fruit, Gooseberry, Guava, etc…• “New Zealand” style Sauvignon Blanc, “cat pee”…• They are short-named compounds like:

4-methyl-4-mercaptopentan-2-one, or

4-mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-ol

Yeast VL-1, Terpenes

• Muscat’s floral and fragrant perfumey aromas are from terpenes

• Riesling and Gewürztraminer also have high levels of terpenes

• Compounds include: Linalool, Geraniol, etc.

• Descriptors include: Floral/Rose, Citrus, Spicy and Coriander

Secondary Malolactic Fermentation

• Non-MLF wines; more crisp, lean, tart, bright, fresh and “zingy”…

• MLF Positive wines; richer, softer, creamier, buttery, more multi-layered and complex…

MLF Results

• Used ML Bacteria VP-41 from Scott labs

• ML+ wines using yeasts VL1 and Alchemy 2 finished MLF quite quickly and completely

• Wines using K1/1116 and DV1- did not complete MLF despite time, temperature, nutrients, stirring, etc.• K1/1116 has a “poor” MLF compatibility rating

• DV10 has a “good” MLF compatibility rating
