In this episode of the Vint Podcast, Brady and Billy connect with perhaps the leading wine grape geneticist of our time, José Vouillamoz. With a background in plant biology and a Ph.D. in genetics, José has dedicated his career to uncovering the origins and relationships of grape varieties. He is a co-author of the highly acclaimed book "Wine Grapes," along with Jancis Robinson and Julia Harding, which is considered a definitive reference on the subject. His research has significantly advanced the understanding of grapevine DNA, leading to the identification and classification of numerous grape varieties. (the book alone includes more than 1,300 entries).Our conversation spans a discussion on the "parents" of some of our favorite and most well known grapes, an explanation of genetic vs clonal differences, and why learning about the genetics of our vines might just unlock a whole new chapter in the history of winemaking, buying, drinking, and exploring...Enjoy the show!Chapters:00:52 Special Guest Introduction: José Vouillamoz, the Foremost Grape Geneticist02:02 Weekend Wine Tasting Adventures and Discoveries07:57 Diving Deep into Grape Genetics with José Vouillamoz08:41 Jose's Journey into Grape Genetics and DNA Profiling11:09 Unveiling the Origins of Swiss Grape Varieties13:17 The Impact of DNA Profiling on Wine Genetics and Regional Identities18:35 Exploring the Foundational Grape Varieties and Their Global Influence21:35 The Genesis of the Wine Grapes Book with Jancis Robinson and Julia Harding24:50 Founder Grape Varieties and Their Significance25:04 Exploring the Roots: The Ancestry of Famous Grape Varieties26:46 The Science Behind DNA Profiling in Viticulture35:02 The Impact of Genetic Diversity on Wine Varieties and Climate Adaptation41:11 The Future of Viticulture: Clonal Identification and Terroir Expression46:38 The Role of Rootstocks in Combating Climate Change48:45 Leveraging Genetics for Improved Winemaking and Vineyard Management51:55 Preserving Rare Varieties and the Importance of Storytelling in WiThe Vint Podcast is a production of the Vint Marketplace, your source for the highest quality stock of fine wines and rare whiskies.

As rising temperatures supercharge the UK wine industry, Jaega Wise finds out what this means for winegrowing at home and abroad, and the mixed blessing climate change presents. She finds out how winegrowers, viticultural scientists and wine trade experts feel about the double-edged sword of climate change, and what the future might look like for the industry both in the UK and further afield. In Sussex, we hear from winemaking duo Dermot Sugrue and Ana Dogic about their estate Sugrue South Downs, and how warmer temperatures have improved the ripening capacity of the grapes used to make their award-winning sparkling wines – putting them on a par with Champagne according to some. Wine critic Jancis Robinson has tasted the benefits of climate change on English and Welsh wine over the course of her career, and believes parts of England now have the climate to produce excellent red wines too. Noble Rot's Dan Keeling, meanwhile, explains why he's excited for the future of UK sparkling wine, and why some producers now stand their ground next to world-class Champagnes in blind tastings. Viticulture climatologist Dr Alistair Nesbitt shares the findings of a recent study looking at the next two decades of wine production in the UK. He believes we will begin to see more and more UK still white and red wine on shelves in years to come, and argues that sustainable winemaking plays a crucial role in the industry's response to climate change. Producer Robbie Armstrong heads to Bordeaux to find out how one of the world's largest and most famed wine regions is adapting, following a year that saw extreme drought, wildfires and the use of irrigation for the first time in decades. He speaks to a leading researcher at the Institute of Vine and Wine Science about their experimental vineyard, and a winemaker planting grape varieties that are better adapted to rising temperatures. Presented by Jaega Wise. Produced by Robbie Armstrong.
To download the transcript CLICK HERE This is Part 2 with Dr. Jamie Goode where we are discussing more parts from his third edition 'Wine Science' Book. You can read his articles on thousands of wineries over at his blog wineanorak.com In this episode, we are discussing the advantages and disadvantages of using native (wild) yeasts versus cultured (packaged) yeasts and the different strains. Where they can be found and how they work in fermentation. Then we talk about adding sulfites to the wine, and you will learn about free, bound, and total sulfur, and how to get the best use out of adding sulfites. We then look at what carbonic maceration is, how to do semi-carbonic, which regions tend to do this, and what varieties work best fermented this way. Then we will touch on destemming the grapes versus whole bunch pressing. I hope this opens up your eyes to all the different choices a winemaker has. This episode only looks at just a few of them.

To download the transcript CLICK HERE This is the first part with Dr Jamie Goode, who has a PhD in plant biology, was originally a science editor and then got the wine bug. Since then he has travelled to thousands of wineries, founded the incredibly successful wine blog https://wineanorak.com/ which features wineries, wine regions and wine topics of interest and has published several wine books. It was one of his latest wine books Wine Science which just had its third edition published that got me really wanting to delve a little deeper into the wonderful world of wine from a scientific point of view. This episode focused on aromas and compounds that end up in wine. How do you analyse these, what you can do with this knowledge and we look at one of the most unique wines in the world when it comes to aromas: A Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand. We will be looking at why this wine tastes different to all other Sav Blancs in the world, light strike, Brettanomyces and much more.

Ever been curious about the claims people make about “clean wines”? In the same camp as “natural wines” and “better for you wines,” clean wines have no definition and often deploy misleading marketing to get you to buy their wines. They take advantage of the trend, particularly with Millenials, around a healthy lifestyle and spread misinformation in their marketing, according to sommelier and wine educator Erik Segelbaum. Explore the rationale behind the clean wine trend and how to read into their marketing messages on this episode of XChateau!Don't forget - you can support the show on Patreon to help us keep bringing you excellent wine business content!Detailed Show Notes:Erik's backgroundWas a chef in fine dining at the Park Hyatt PhiladelphiaAs he grew into wine, he stopped drinking for alcohol and more for flavorHe became a sommelier because it was more profitable than being a chefSOMLYAY (Erik's company)Does private events, education (including with the Smithsonian), a wine writer, private cellar consulting, and hospitality/wine list consultingHas done >300 private events in the past year, primarily virtualWrote an article called “Snake Oil for Sale: The Dirty Business of Clean Wine” (pg16) for the Sept / Oct 2021 issue of The Tasting Panel magazineThe impetus for the article - Erik always gets the same questions during consumer events around sulfites, natural/clean/healthy/“better for you” winesHe gets lots of ads using manipulative advertising around the winesDefinition of Clean WineIt's an invented word. There is no definition, no standards - it doesn't actually mean anythingImplies other wines are “unclean”Drivers of the clean wine trendMillennials have taken over as the dominant wine buying cohort. They like “healthy,” and the trend is playing to their preferencesCelebrity endorsements backing trend (e.g., Cameron Diaz's Avaline)Clean wine claims are not false but spreading misinformation and are “lying by omission”E.g., all wines are gluten-freeVegan - sometimes animal products (e.g., egg whites) are used in fining but not really put into wineOrganic - does not mean any chemicals, just no synthetic chemicals (e.g., sulfites are organic and a good thing - required to make wine otherwise, nature turns grape juice into vinegar)Additives - there can be bad ones (e.g., Velcorin, which is hazardous in large quantities, and Mega Purple, which adds color and sweetness)Need to distinguish between “industrially produced wines” and “commercially produced”Industrial wines are mainly on the bottom shelf of retail and are highly manipulated wines (e.g., use lots of additives)Commercially produced can be well-produced wines, even at a commercial scaleClean wine “obscures transparency”They often manipulate where the wines are produced (e.g., don't mention where the grapes are grown, only that they are produced and bottled in a specific place)Targets naive consumersAn excellent example of transparency - Ridge Vineyards - has ingredient labeling and all relevant details on the label

One of the world's leading grape geneticists, Carole Meredith, Professor Emerita of UC Davis and owner of Lagier Meredith winery, has spent decades identifying and profiling grape varieties. It was so interesting that the interview has been split into two episodes. Episode 55 covers the background of Ampelography and DNA profiling as well as the definitions of key terms such as variety, clone, and hybrid. In addition, this episode features the stories of how she uncovered the history of Zinfandel (aka - Primitivo, Crljenak Kaštelanski, and Tribidrag) with Croatian researchers and how wineries use DNA profiling in wine marketing. Detailed Show Notes: Discovering ZinfandelZinfandel has a long history in California. People assumed it was a native California grape, but it is a Vitis Vinifera, so it must come from EuropePeople suspected Croatia, but no evidenceIn the 1970's - people noticed that Primitivo in Italy's Puglia looked like Zinfandel, and it was confirmed they are the same grape varietyItalians said the grape is not Italian and came from Dalmatia (modern-day Croatia)CroatiaThey looked at Plavac Mali - a popular red grape in Croatia. It looks similar to Zinfandel, but is not the same, but relatedMike Grgich of Grgich Hills Winery made some introductions to Croatia, but those were dead ends1997 - Ivan Pejic of the University of Zagreb reached out and wanted to understand Croatian grapes betterAfter 3 years of gathering samples, they found it in a Croatian mixed vineyard (a grape named Crljenak Kaštelanski)2001 - At the Natural History Museum in Split, Croatia - found a specimen called Tribidrag that looked like ZinfandelTribidrag was an important grape as far back as the 1300s2011 - Croatian research group was able to extract DNA from dead leaves in the Split museum and confirm it was ZinfandelProves Zinfandel is an ancient grape with historical importanceTribidrag is not an approved varietal name for wine in the US. Lagier Meredith uses it as a fanciful name for their labelLagier Meredith sells mostly to their mailing list so that they can explain the history and the name to their customersRidge calls a wine Tribidrag, growing vines from Croatian cuttings, and wants to partner with Carole to get TTB to have Primitivo and Tribidrag as Zinfandel synonyms US TTB shows Zinfandel and Primitivo as separate varietiesCalifornia Zinfandel producers opposed having Primitivo be a synonym because they didn't want competition from lots of cheap Italian PrimitivoEU wine label regulations list Zinfandel and Primitivo as synonyms2004 - US & EU sign an agreement on wine labeling to respect each other's laws, so now Italians can label their wines Zinfandel and export them to the USDNA typing - business impactsIt has been a boost for Croatian producers, put them on the map, and now a wine tourism destination with people even visiting the vineyard where Zinfandel was discoveredMostly done out of research institutionsFoundation Plant Services at UC Davis has a commercial DNA typing service - costs ~$300 / sampleSome producers (e.g., Schrader) use clones on labels - used as a distinction, helps to tell the story for marketing

The second episode features how she uncovered the history of Zinfandel and how wineries use DNA profiling in wine marketing. Detailed Show Notes: Carole's backgroundWorked part-time at a retail nursery, got into plant genetics, and wanted to be a flower breederChanged to doing a Ph.D. on tomato genetics at UC DavisWorked in biotech for a few years on cotton, corn, and soybeansShe went into grapes because a position opened up at UC DavisAmpelography - the study of grape identification before DNA testingGrape varieties identified by their leaves, which vary distinctly, not by their fruit, which look similarBefore DNA testing, outside experts in Ampelography would often disagree with each other on grape identificationThe upside of ampelography is that it's very fast. Today grapes are usually first identified by ampelography and then confirmed with DNA testingDNA testing for grapesStarted ~1991Looks at segments of DNA to look at specific markersNeed a minimum of 6 markers to identify a variety and more to establish variety parentageVitis Microsatellite Consortium - a group of academics that came together to develop DNA markers for grapesIn 1-2 years, developed 100s of markersGrape variety definition - used differently in trade or by scientistsTrade definition - grapes that make different wines (e.g., Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris) are different varietiesScientific definition - a cultivated variety that goes back to a single seedling, scientifically, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris are clonal variants of a single varietyClones - variations within a varietyClones are subtypes that have developed over timeUsually have something to do with the fruit (e.g., color variants like Traminer vs. Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir/Blanc/Gris)Clones arise through somatic mutations of the varietyOlder the variety (e.g., Pinot, Syrah) - more likely to have more clonesYoung varieties (e.g., Cabernet Sauvignon) have fewer clones (

A tasting term, specific elements in the soil and grapes, and even geological elements and rock types; the term minerality in the context of wine has taken up a rather broad usage. Robert and Peter explore a bit of the science, the use of the term as a tasting descriptor, and how the industry has used minerality as a sales tool. Listen to grasp a hold on how the term is used and what it is used for. Detailed show notes: Minerality as a wine term started in the 1980sA tasting term - related to flint, matchstick, chalk, saline charactersMineral elements - e.g. - potassium, phosphorus, calcium, etc…Geologic elements - e.g. - quartz, limestone, etc…As a style of wineMinerality is like a macro tasting term, like “fruity”Can have sub-elements to the category, e.g. - reduction/sulfur related compounds, stone related, saline / salty relatedAs a flavor, it is not from the actual minerals in the rocks in the soilMinerality could be a positive term for the absence of fruity and floral flavors in a wineIt comes from a combination of terroir and winemakingWines generally associated with mineralityWhites: Chablis, Sauv Blanc (e.g. - Sancerre), Gruner Veltliner, Alvarinho, Chenin Blanc, Rieslings, AssyrtikoReds: Pinot Noir, Cab FrancUsing minerality as a sales toolSome wineries have labels that specify rocks/soil typesE.g. - Didier Dagueneau’s Silex; Mullineux’s Schist, Granite, Iron; Dr. Loosen’s Blue / Red Slate RieslingsBut, these wines may not necessarily be referring to minerality in the winesSommeliers and restaurants tend to enjoy minerally wines and may have sections on their wine lists for themRetail stores that are organized by wine style do not yet use the term, but may in the futureRandall Graham of Bonny Doon experimented with infusing rocks into wine, but that led to higher levels of other trace materials and was shut down by the government

With four years of extreme fire season in Northern California, the study and importance of smoke taint is at all-time highs. Leading the charge is Dr. Anita Oberholster of UC Davis, who is collaborating globally to better understand the chemistry of smoke exposure and taint, how to measure it, what to do about it, and how to create new solutions to monitor and manage it. This episode packs everything you’d ever want to know about smoke taint in 50 minutes! Detailed Show Notes: Dr. Oberholster is an Extension Specialist in Oenology at UC Davis, which means she interacts more with industry than teaches, lots of applied researchFrom South Africa, she studied Biochemistry and has a Ph.D. in Wine Chemistry from South AustraliaDefinitions: Smoke taint - overpowers the wine, makes it one dimensional, and reduces the qualitySmoke exposure - can have different levels of exposure, no index yet exists to track, but academics are collaborating on itSmoke exposure is less about proximity, but how fast the smoke gets to you => very fresh, dense smoke = higher risk of smoke taintVolatile phenols decay in the atmosphere, if it’s more than 24 hours old, there’s less riskThe ultimate goal - have a low-cost sense that detects volatile phenols to determine the smoke riskVineyards are most susceptible when there are berries on the vineThere’s no carryover effect from prior year firesTesting grapes vs. wine - wine tests are more accurate because there are more free volatile phenols vs. bound with sugars~20-25% of people aren’t sensitive to smoke taintTesting is expensive and laborious, requires a gas chromatography, mass spectrometerCrop insurance - covers grower if smoke exposure is above a certain level; it’s heavily subsidized by the governmentThere’s no correlation between thin and thick-skinned grapes and smoke taintAlcohol (if >10%), sugar (if >3g/L), and phenolic compounds mask smoke character, and green character enhances the smoke characterRose - gets ~30% of the volatile phenols vs. red wine but may still show taint relative to the lower concentration of compoundsCarbonic maceration - one of the worst for smoke taintSprays to prevent taint - results very variable so farWhen there’s wetness/oiliness on berries, then to absorb more smoke taintWashing fruit - unclear if this has any impactMost wineries will not take the brand risk to release smoke tainted wineBest practices for growers and wineries: Buy crop insurance for growersContracts between growers and winery need to be as clear as possible, with a cutoff for smoke taint

What makes you a supertaster? Does supertaster status play a role outside of wine tasting? How does age affect our senses of smell and taste? Why is mouthfeel an important aspect of a wine’s appeal? Why should you describe wine by sensation, rather than compound? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, we're chatting with Dr. Gary Pickering, the inventor of the white wine mouthfeel wheel and the supertasting kit, and co-developer of the Wine Aroma Kits. To learn more about the resources mentioned in this episode, visit the https://www.nataliemaclean.com/73. Highlights Why could being a supertaster have a negative impact on your health? How does being a supertaster correlate with your alcohol consumption? As a woman, how much more likely are you to be a supertaster? What advantages do you have as a woman, when it comes to tasting wine? How can the Wine Awakenings Aroma Kit improve your wine-drinking experience? Why is the Wine Mouthfeel Wheel an essential tool for wine lovers, winemakers and researchers? How are texture and body related to each other? Is mouthfeel connected to tannins? When you hear about ripe/unripe tannin, what does that really mean? How do super tasters rate wine compared to average ratings?
