Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of winemaking technology and relates to a low-sulfur winemaking method for naturally sweet wine made from white grapes that are harvested after they have turned red. Background Technology

[0002] Sweet white wine is an important category in the high-end wine market. The core logic is to retain the natural sugar content of grapes and maximize the presentation of the raw material flavor. With the upgrading of consumption, the market demand for its natural attributes, health and safety and unique terroir expression is becoming increasingly prominent.

[0003] Sweet white wines can be clearly divided into two categories: one is raw material-dependent, naturally high-sugar products, such as ice wine which requires late harvesting and low-temperature freezing and pressing; botrytized wine which requires late harvesting and relies on Botrytis cinerea (noble rot) infection to achieve flavor transformation; and conventional late-harvest wine which concentrates sugar through natural dehydration by delaying harvesting. These methods often involve fermenting all late-harvest fruits together, ignoring the reddening and wrinkling characteristics of some fruits induced by special climate during the late-harvest stage and their unique flavor value. Although these three types can present a naturally high-sugar flavor, they are extremely dependent on the environment, and botrytized wine is prone to fruit spoilage. The other category is process-intervention products, which achieve sweetness through artificial fermentation, high-sulfur addition + sugar supplementation, reverse osmosis and other concentration processes, lacking naturalness and flavor complexity.

[0004] Late-harvested raw materials face the problem of "complex microorganisms and difficulty in initiating natural fermentation." Existing processes can only add high sulfur to suppress miscellaneous bacteria, which not only raises the risk of allergies but also damages the flavor of the raw materials. Especially during the rainy harvest season, the predicament of both types of products is exacerbated. Raw material-dependent products are prone to mold growth due to poor moisture resistance of the varieties, making it impossible to delay harvesting. Process-intervention-dependent products suffer further flavor degradation due to the decline in raw material quality.

[0005] Therefore, developing a sweet white wine production process that uses late-harvested red grapes as raw materials, is low in sulfur and healthy, and is suitable for rainy environments, in order to make up for the limitations of existing technologies in terms of raw materials and health benefits, has become an urgent need for the industry. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a low-sulfur winemaking method for naturally sweet wine made from white grapes harvested after they have turned red, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Select healthy white grapes with a reddish appearance (total anthocyanin content in fresh skin ≥5mg / kg), a wrinkling rate ≥15%, a breakage rate ≤3%, reducing sugar ≥290g / L, total acid 6-8g / L, and pH 3.3-3.4. In an anaerobic environment, press the selected white grapes at 0.1-0.2 bar for 20-30 minutes and at 0.3-0.5 bar for 40-60 minutes, yielding a juice yield of 55-60%.

[0008] Preferably, the white grapes are selected from thick-skinned varieties that are prone to turning red and are highly resistant to moisture. These varieties are less prone to mold growth in rainy environments and can naturally concentrate sugar and flavor substances after turning red, making them more suitable for making low-sulfur red sweet white wines. Therefore, one or more of Petit Mansson, Viognier and Vidal are selected.

[0009] Step two: No commercial yeast is added in this step. The grape juice is poured into a fermentation tank, filling it to 3 / 4 of its volume. The free SO2 concentration is adjusted to 25-30 mg / L. 30-35 mg / L of pectinase, 45-50 mg / L of winemaking tannins, and 1500-1600 mg / L of organic acids are added. SO2 acts as a sterilizer and antioxidant. Pectinase promotes the decomposition of pectin in the grape juice, improving its clarity and filtration efficiency. Grape tannins enhance the structure and antioxidant capacity of the wine, working synergistically with SO2 to reduce oxidation risks. Organic acids maintain the wine's sweet and sour balance, enhancing the drinking experience.

[0010] Fermentation is then carried out at 12-18℃. This temperature range is conducive to the activation and reproduction of the native microbial community on the grape surface, promoting the smooth start of fermentation. This process does not add any commercial yeast, relying on the natural microbial community to complete the fermentation. After 9-10 days, the temperature is adjusted to 11-15℃, and the specific gravity is monitored daily to ensure that the residual sugar content is higher than 90g / L and the specific gravity decreases by 0.003-0.004 per day. After 130-135 days or when the specific gravity is 1.026-1.028, potassium metabisulfite is added to adjust the free sulfur concentration to 20-25mg / L to obtain the original wine liquid.

[0011] Preferably, the organic acid is one or more selected from citric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid. Most preferably, the organic acid is tartaric acid.

[0012] Preferably, the brewing tannins include gallic acid, condensed tannins and hydrolyzed tannins in a mass ratio of 1:1:1.

[0013] Step 3: Add 410-520 mg / L of compound clarifying agent to the original wine liquid, let it stand at 4-5℃ for 7-14 days, add 5-6 mg / L of winemaking tannins to further enhance the structure and antioxidant capacity of the wine, improve the quality and aging potential of the wine, add potassium metabisulfite to adjust the free sulfur concentration to 25-30 mg / L, filter through a 0.45μm filter membrane to remove larger particulate impurities and some microorganisms, and then filter through a 0.22μm filter membrane to remove most microorganisms and fine impurities. Use champagne bottles + crown caps to bottling and seal in an aseptic environment. Champagne bottles resist the pressure of the high sugar body of the wine, and crown caps isolate oxygen. Store at 0-4℃, 60-70%RH, and away from light. Monitor the physicochemical indicators such as residual sugar, acidity, and microorganisms every 3 months.

[0014] Preferably, the composite clarifying agent comprises 400-500 mg / L of bentonite and 10-20 mg / L of polyvinylpyrrolidone.

[0015] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] (1) The fermentation process of this invention differs from traditional brewing techniques. It uses specially formulated brewing tannins and trace amounts of SO2 to construct a synergistic system, which can inhibit the growth of miscellaneous bacteria, create an advantageous environment for the growth of native yeasts, solve the problem of difficulty in starting natural fermentation of late-harvested raw materials, and reduce the amount of SO2 used, thereby reducing health risks. The low-temperature fermentation environment further inhibits the activity of miscellaneous bacteria, reduces the production of undesirable metabolites, and at the same time prolongs the fermentation cycle, promoting the full dissolution and transformation of unique flavor substances such as anthocyanins and flavonoids in the ripening fruit, thus enhancing the complexity of the wine's flavor.

[0017] (2) This invention achieves the optimal selection and standardization of raw materials through an innovative scheme of "precise selection of ripening berries and matching of raw materials." Unlike traditional late-harvest wines that mix ripening and non-ripening berries, this method combines manual bunch selection and manual berry selection to precisely screen healthy berries with ripening appearance (total anthocyanin content ≥5mg / kg in fresh skin), wrinkling rate ≥15%, reducing sugar ≥290g / L, total acid 6-8g / L, and pH 3.3-3.4, while removing non-ripening, moldy, and damaged berries. This screening system not only ensures the uniformity and high purity of the raw materials but also focuses on the unique flavor compounds of ripening berries (such as anthocyanins and flavonoids), providing a high-quality raw material guarantee for subsequent winemaking. Simultaneously, this method prioritizes thick-skinned white grape varieties with strong moisture resistance and easy ripening, enhancing the adaptability of the raw materials in rainy environments and improving the product's unique flavor and winemaking stability from the source.

[0018] (3) This invention utilizes a "low-temperature, long-term natural fermentation" process to fully stimulate and transform the flavor potential of the raw materials. Based on carefully selected grapes ripening to red, a natural fermentation method without the addition of commercial yeast is adopted. Relying on the local microbial community on the surface of the grapes, fermentation is initiated at 12-18℃, followed by slow fermentation at 11-15℃ for more than 130 days. This process inhibits the growth of unwanted bacteria and reduces harmful metabolites by lowering the temperature. On the other hand, it extends the fermentation period, promoting the full dissolution, transformation, and fusion of unique flavor substances such as anthocyanins and flavonoids in the ripening grapes. At the same time, a precise acid-adjusting process balances the sweetness and acidity of the wine, resulting in a richer flavor profile and a more harmonious taste. This fully showcases the unique terroir of late-harvest ripening grapes and solves the problem of monotonous flavor in traditional processes.

[0019] (4) This invention leverages the unique raw material advantage of "late-harvest red wine" and combines the complex aromas from natural fermentation with the health benefits of low-sulfur processing to create a high-end sweet white wine that is natural, unique, and safe. The product achieves high sweetness without the need for sugar supplementation, avoiding the flavor dilution problem caused by artificial sugar supplementation. It is significantly differentiated from traditional sweet white wines, perfectly meeting the current market's personalized and health-conscious consumer demands, and significantly enhancing its market competitiveness.

[0025] Step 1: Select disease-free Little Mansé grapes with a total anthocyanin content ≥5mg / kg, a wrinkling rate of 18%, a breakage rate of 2%, a reducing sugar content of 295g / L, a total acid content of 6.8g / L, and a pH of 3.32. Under carbon dioxide protection, press the selected white grapes at 0.15 bar for 25 minutes and then at 0.4 bar for 50 minutes, yielding a juice yield of 58%.

[0026] Step two: The grape juice is poured into a fermentation tank, filling it to 3 / 4 of its volume. The free SO2 concentration is adjusted to 30 mg / L. 30 mg / L pectinase, 50 g / t winemaking tannins, and 1.5 kg / t tartaric acid are added. Fermentation is carried out at 15°C for 9 days, then the temperature is adjusted to 13°C. The specific gravity is monitored daily to ensure a daily decrease of 0.0035. After 130 days, when the specific gravity is 1.028 and the residual sugar content is 92 g / L, potassium metabisulfite is added to adjust the free sulfur concentration to 20 mg / L, yielding the original wine liquor.

[0027] Step 3: Add 450g / t of bentonite and 15g / t of PVPP to the original wine liquid, let it stand at 4℃ for 7 days, add 5g / t of winemaking tannin and potassium metabisulfite to adjust the free sulfur concentration to 28mg / L, filter through a 0.45μm filter membrane and then through a 0.22μm filter membrane, and store at 2℃, 65%RH, away from light.

After 130 days, the specific gravity was 1.027, and the residual sugar content was 95 g / L. Step 3: 400 g / t of bentonite and 10 g / t of PVPP were added to adjust the free sulfur concentration to 25 mg / L, and the product was stored at 0℃, 60% RH, and protected from light.

[0030] Example 3

[0031] The difference from Example 1 is as follows: Step 1: Vidal grape variety was selected, with reducing sugar 298 g / L, total acid 7.2 g / L, pH 3.35, shrinkage rate 20%, and breakage rate 2.5%. Step 2: Citric acid was used, fermentation was carried out at 18℃ for 9 days, the temperature was adjusted to 15℃, pressing was performed at 0.2 bar for 30 min, and at 0.5 bar for 60 min, with a juice yield of 60%. Fermentation was carried out at 17℃ for 9 days, the temperature was adjusted to 14℃, ensuring that the specific gravity decreased by 0.004 per day. After 130 days, the specific gravity was 1.029, and the residual sugar content was 93 g / L. Step 3: 500 g / t bentonite and 20 g / t PVPP were added to adjust the free sulfur concentration to 30 mg / L, and the product was stored at 4℃, 70% RH, and protected from light.

[0042] As shown in Tables 1-4, this product is rich in unique substances such as anthocyanins and flavonoids, with 44 volatile aroma components and 19 non-volatile phenolic compounds. Its aroma is more complex and unique, and its nutritional components are richer than those of traditional sweet white wines. The formation of these flavor compounds and nutrients is closely related to the characteristics of the ripening grapes and the winemaking process: the flavor precursors and phenolic compounds stored in the ripening grapes themselves form the foundation; low-temperature, long-term natural fermentation promotes the transformation and accumulation of flavor compounds; and the synergistic system of no added commercial yeast, low sulfur, and winemaking tannins maximizes the preservation of natural flavors and nutrients, avoiding the damage caused by artificial additives. The product's biogenic amine content meets safety standards, and pesticide residues and heavy metal content are far below the limits, making it safer to drink. The product achieves high sweetness without the need for added sugar, and its residual sugar is stable.

[0043] Experimental Example 2

[0044] The basic physicochemical indicators, color, main flavor compounds, biogenic amines, pesticide residues, and heavy metal content of the white grape-to-red sweet white wines prepared in Examples 1-3 above were identified. A sensory analysis was conducted by an expert team, and the results were compared with a control group (traditional sweet white wine). The results are shown in Tables 5-9. Figure 1 .

[0045] The control group's winemaking process is as follows: Step 1: Select mature, undamaged, ordinary late-harvest white grapes, press them as usual to extract the juice. Step 2: Transfer the grape juice to a fermentation tank, adjust the free SO2 to 95 mg / L, add commercial yeast, ferment at 18-20℃ until the target residual sugar is reached, add high sulfur to terminate fermentation, and obtain the original wine liquid. Step 3: Add bentonite and allow to stand for clarification, filter as usual, adjust the free sulfur to 100-150-120 mg / L, and store at room temperature away from light.
