Title
Effect of sweetening treatments on white wine aroma and composition
Abstract
Three sweetening treatments - juice addition, muté addition (one vintage), and stopped fermentation - were examined for their impact on the aroma and chemical composition of two vintages of Vignoles wine. The juice and muté wines tended to have greater color. The stopped-fermentation wines had higher levels of glycerol. The stopped-fermentation wine from the first vintage had a fresher aroma than the juice wine. The stopped-fermentation wine from the second vintage had greater aroma intensity than the juice wine. No detectable aroma difference was found among the muté and either the juice or stopped-fermentation wines.
