7 Okanagan Valley

8 Types of Fermentation Inoculated (ADY) Spontaneous

9 Inoculated Fermentation What are we trying to achieve with an inoculated fermentation? Pure inoculum Consistency from one vintage to the next A predictable aroma and flavour of the wine Do we achieve any of these when conducting inoculated fermentations in commercial wines?

10 Spontaneous Fermentation What are we trying to achieve with a spontaneous fermentation? Longer presence of non-saccharomyces in early and mid stages of fermentation High diversity of indigenous strains of S. cerevisiae Higher complexity in aroma and flavour Do we achieve any of these when conducting spontaneous fermentations?

11 Spontaneous Fermentations Non-Saccharomyces Saccharomyces cerevisiae -Hanseniaspora/Kloeckera -Pichia -Metschnikowia Indigenous S. cerevisisae -Candida spp. Commercial S. cerevisisae

29 Spontaneous Fermentations At Four Wineries in 2013 (Scholl et al. 2016) Pinot Noir Chardonnay

30 Summary You do not know what is fermenting your wine unless you identify the organisms Inoculation does not guarantee a dominant implantation of the inoculum Over 5 years, 30% of the inoculated fermentations have <80% implantation Spontaneous fermentations usually contain a diversity of commercial S. cerevisiae strains Indigenous S. cerevisiae in spontaneous fermentations are rare Thus, wild, indigenous, and native are terms that do not accurately describe spontaneous fermentations

31 Answer To Questions Do we achieve what we want when conducting inoculated fermentations in commercial wines? Do we achieve what we want when conducting spontaneous fermentations in commercial wines?

32 Recommendations To know what yeasts are fermenting your must To view commercial yeast diversity as a good thing To start thinking about inoculating with a diversity of commercial and indigenous yeasts

55 Conclusions SO 2 addition at crush resulted in significantly altered S. cerevisiae strain compositions

56 Conclusions Previously used commercial strains dominate spontaneous fermentations regardless of SO 2 addition level

57 Conclusions SO 2 addition level at crush resulted in sensory differences in the final wines
