Hello, Does anybody know what compounds give wine honey aromas? Cheers and TIA Nils
According to my notes, 2-phenyl ethanol, cinnamic acid, ethyl decanoate, phenethyl acetate and phenylacetic acid.
Apparently also 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3[2H]-furanone, and
2,6,6-Trimethylcyclohex-2-ene-1,4-dione , the frist being a lactone, the second an isoprenoid. Admittedly, the first is isolated in Slovakian brandy ...Thanks for your input!
Cheers

How come a shrink knows organic chemistry? Or is it Google knowledge? :-) Anders

Hi Nils a couple of link
I don't know the compounds but I do know from experience that wines that have been made from grapes infected with noble rot exhibit more and more honey aromas as they age and less of the varietals (typically semillon or riesling) from which they were made. Similarly aged Hunter Valley semillons (very dry wines) can also show honeyed fragrance.
Cheers!
