As explained by Robert Dambergs, UV-Visible spectroscopy in conjunction with chemometrics, was successfully applied to objectively differentiate sparkling wine press juice fractions. Two measurements methods were applied: reflectance using a fibre optic probe in-line and transmission using a benchtop spectrophotometer.
According to this research, in line press monitoring done in real time is reliable and once a system is set up, you can be sure of the results: if you apply analytical methods in-line it is also cost-efficient and suitable for large scale wineries. This offers potential to make real time automated press cuts based on juice phenolic contact to improve efficiency of press operation and optimise quality of the press fractions.

Wine is fundamentally a high-intervention product, and along all stages from harvest to bottling it's our job to guarantee safety and quality, but it's also up to us to research, experiment, and ad...
Producing a wine according to our oenological objective, wanting to express the variety, but adapting practices according to the sanitary status of the grapes, is continuous experimentation. We aga...
Phenolic composition of grapes has an important impact on the final intrinsic quality of (red) wines. Wine taste, mouthfeel and colour are driven principally by phenolic compounds present in grapes...
For the production of quality sparkling wines, it is important to ensure the separation of the correct phenolic profiles of must fractions. Find out how UV-Visible spectroscopy, together with chemo...
Chemical, biochemical and physiological factors influence the composition of the retronasal aroma during wine consumption, but not only tannins influence mouthfeel: anthocyanins do too. New methods...
What's the importance of varietal thiols, esters and glycerol content from an organoleptic quality point of view? How do volatile compounds evolve during wine aging and storage conditions? Are ther...
