ABSTRACT: This study sought to determine the effects of variety on the astringency and chemistry of condensed tannins of spine grapes and wines. Fifteen varieties of red spine grape (Vitis davidii Foex) were used. Condensed tannin content, composition, and wine astringency were determined. The condensed tannin profiles were assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). The condensed tannin content highly depended on the variety ranging from 0.30 mg/g to 7.80 mg/g (in skins), from 3.12 mg/g to 8.82 mg/g (in seeds), and from 62.60 mg/L to 225.90 mg/L (in wines). There were significant differences in proportions of certain constitutive subunits (as mole%) and mean degree of polymerization (mDp) among the varieties. Correlation analysis revealed that condensed tannin concentration and composition had a significant effect on the sensory evaluation and quantitative analysis of astringency. A positive correlation between mDp and astringency was also observed. The present results expand knowledge of the characterization of spine grape and wine condensed tannin chemistry and astringency.
