1 Sensory Evaluation: Blends for the Future of Michigan Dr. Ron Perry Professor Department of Horticulture Michigan State University East Lansing 1

2 Wine Grape Varieties 2

3 Variety VS Varietal These terms are often over used and broadly assigned, especially in the restaurant and retail sales area. Variety is the name of a genetic clone. Varietal is an abbreviated term used to refer to a varietal wine. The wine bottle s contents must have 75% coming from a single variety.. In the USA 3

4 4

5 Why is the wine grape variety important? Approximately 10,000 grape varieties Cold hardiness, fruit composition, yield, pest resistance Wines differ in taste due to: grape variety growing location/conditions vinification processes & techniques wine age 5

6 Varietal Discrimination Dominating 8-9 Retail Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Chardonnay Pinot Noir Riesling Sauvignon Blanc Pinot Gris/Grigio 6

7 ? According to retail sales? Inventory of 20 Michigan retailers (n=3,626)? Phil Howard, Terra Bogart, Alix Grabowski, Rebecca Mino, Nick Molen & Steve Schultze Michigan State University, December Concentration in the U.S. Wine Industry 7

8 Top Wine Grape Varietals Worldwide (Including Origin and Market Share) No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon (France; 6.3 percent of the market) No. 2 Merlot (France; 5.81 percent of the market) No. 3 Airen (Spain; 5.48 percent of the market) No. 4 Tempranillo (Spain; 5.05 percent of the market) No. 5 Chardonnay (France; 4.32 percent of the market) No. 6 Syrah (France; 4.03 percent of the market) No. 7 Garnacha Tinta (Alicante Bouschet) (Spain; 4.01 percent of the market) No. 8 Sauvignon Blanc (France; 2.39 percent of the market) No. 9 Trebbiano Toscano (Italy; 2.39 percent of the market) No. 10 Pinot Noir (France; 1.88 percent of the market) From: Jan, 14,

9 Variety Selection Following list of cultivar groups are ranked in order of market/consumer interest and are in inverse order of cold tolerance: 1. Vinifera Cultivars; Chardonnay, Riesling, etc. (Limited to areas above -4 degrees F. mean low temp Best Sites). 2. French Hybrids; Older cultivars developed in France using species native to America which were crossed with Vinifera cultivars to increase cold tolerance and resistance to pests(vidal, Seyval, Chamboucin, Foch, etc). Contemporary breeding programs exist in America (NYAES, Geneva) and in Europe, with this goal in mind (Cayuga White, Carot Noir, etc). (Limited to Fruit production areas) 3. American Hybrids; beginning with the breeder,t.v. Munson, there were many varieties developed such as Cynthiana, Norton, Delaware, Niagara and Concord used for wine and juice production. (Limited to Fruit production areas). 4. Super Hardy Hybrids; Minnesota varieties such as Frontenac, LaCrescent, etc. (Many areas in Michigan). 9

10 Variety selection impacted by climatic limitations Perry, R. P Sabbatini and J. Burns Growing Wine Grapes in Michigan, 10

11 What are the critical temperatures? Cold Range of Critical Species Example of Varieties Hardiness Class Low Temperatures Very Tender 5 F to -5 F Most Vitis rotundifolia Carlos, Cowart, Scuppernong, Supreme Chenin blanc, Merlot, Semillon, Syrah, Most Vitis Vinifera Sauvignon blanc, Zinfandel Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tender 0 F to -8 F Most Vitis Vinifera Gewurztraminer, Pinot gris, Pinot noir, Sangiovese, Viognier Some Vitis Vinifera Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Lemberger, Gamay Noir, Moderately Tender -5 F to -10 F Some hybrids Chambourcin Cayuga White, Chardonel, Traminette, Norton, Moderately Hardy -10 F to -15 F Most hybrids Seyval blanc, Vignole Hardy -5 F to -20 F Most Vitis labrusca Catawba, Concord, Delaware, Niagara Very Hardy -20 F to -30 F Some hybrids Frontenac, Foch, LaCrescent, Marquette From "Winter injury to grapevines and methods of protection," by T. Zabadal et al., 2009, Michigan State University Extension Bulletin E

16 Super Hardy Hybrids St. Croix 1. Developed by breeders at the University of Minnesota. Most of the hybrids are very cold hardy and are recently removed in lineage from wild V.Riparia (F 2 or F 3 ). Very high in acid and some can accumulate high sugars. Expands wine grape growing throughout N. US Univ of Minnesota 2. This group also includes Varieties bred and developed by Elmer Swenson who is from Osceola, WI. He was employed By Univ of Minn to manage and Care for fruit plots, but did Grape breeding on his own in WI tm Frontenac Red -35 La Crescent White -36 Frontenac Gris Gray -35 Marquette Red -35 Elmer Swenson St. Croix Red -32 St. Pepin White -26 LaCrosse White -25 Espirit -30 Kay Gray White -30 Loise Swenson White -40 Lacrosse White
