ZERO ALCOHOL WINE POWDER
The science behind the development of Botanical Innovations Zero Alcohol Wine Powders includes CHEMISTRY, MICROBIOLOGY, VITICULTURE and SENSORY ANALYSIS. By combining GRAPE CHEMISTRY, FERMENTATION PROCESSES and SENSORY PERCEPTION to understand the complex aromas and flavours of the wine which used to make Zero Alcohol Wine Powders.
The science of the flavour of wine, also known as ENOLOGY or wine chemistry, explores the complex CHEMICAL and SENSORY ASPECTS that contribute to the TASTE and AROMA of wine. It involves the study of GRAPE CULTIVATION, FERMENTATION, AGING and the various CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS present in wine.
GRAPE VARIETY The flavour of Botanical Innovations Zero Alcohol Wine Powder is influenced by the grape variety used in its production. Different grape varieties have DISTINCT CHEMICAL COMPOSITIONS and FLAVOUR profiles due to variations in SUGAR, ACID, TANIN and AROMATIC COMPOUNDS. Varieties such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Riesling each have unique characteristics that contribute to the final wine’s flavour.
TERRIOR Terroir refers to the ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS that influence grape growing, such as CLIMATE, SOIL, TOPOGRAPHY and VITICULTURAL PRACTICES. These factors affect the grape’s chemical composition, including sugar and acid levels, as well as the development of aromatic compounds. Terroir contributes to the unique flavour profile of wines from different regions and vineyards.
FERMENTATION During fermentation, yeast converts grape sugars into alcohol, producing carbon dioxide and other by products. The yeast strain used, fermentation temperature, and duration influence the flavour of the resulting wine. FERMENTATION also leads to the production of AROMATIC and FLAVOUR COMPOUNDS such as ESTERS and THIOLS which contribute to the wine’s aroma and flavour.
AGING AND MATURATION Our wines undergo aging and maturation, which can occur in oak barrels or stainless steel tanks. Aging can influence the flavour of wine by introducing NEW COMPOUNDS, SOFTENING TANINS and promoting oxidation or reduction reactions. Oak aging can contribute flavours like VANILLA and SPICE while extended bottle aging can enhance complexity and develop TERTIARY FLAVOURS.
CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS Wine contains a vast array of chemical compounds that contribute to its flavour. These include ORGANIC ACIDS (TARTARIC, MALIC and CITRIC ACIDS) SUGARS, PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS and VOLATILE COMPOUNDS (ESTERS, ALDEHYDES and TERPINES) and many others. The concentrations and interactions of these compounds contribute to the wine’s taste and aroma characteristics.
