Abstract
Viognier is a warm climate grape variety prone to loss of acidity and accumulation of excessive sugars. The yeast Lachancea thermotolerans can improve the stability and balance of such wines due to the partial conversion of sugars to lactic acid during alcoholic fermentation. This study compared the performance of five L. thermotolerans strains in co-inoculations and sequential inoculations with Saccharomyces cerevisiae in high sugar/pH Viognier fermentations. The results high lighted the dichotomy between the non-acidified and the bio-acidified L. thermotolerans treatments, with either comparable or up to 0.5 units lower pH relative to the S. cerevisiae control. Significant differences were detected in a range of flavour-active yeast volatile metabolites. The perceived acidity mirrored the modulations in wine pH/TA, as confirmed via “Rate-All-That-Apply” sensory analysis. Despite major variations in the volatile composition and acidity alike, the varietal aromatic expression (i.e., stone fruit aroma/flavour) remained conserved between the treatments.
