New World reds boast higher


alcohol content


MOST red wines, especially from the New I World - Australia, New Zealand, Chile, | South Africa etc - are higher in alcohol nmva-1 days than say 10 years ago, writes Mike |


the early 1990s and the average alcohol by I volume for table wines was around 12 to I 12.5%. I t is commonplace to see wines| around 14 to 14.5% and even 15%. Modern wine-making techniques have |


Murdoch Go back in time to the mid-1980s or even I


given producers an unplanned increase in | alcoholic strength in their wines. The adop-1


.tion of a “green harvest” where selected j bunches of grapes are removed before the I harvest, has had an effect of increasing sugar I levels in the remaining bunches. Increased | sugar levels means a potential for increased I alcohol. Power and strength are not to be con-1 fused. We can have a powerful flavour from a | Mosel or Rhine wine, which is low in alcoholic | strength - being around 10 % - but will have I an impressive p a la te intensity of fruit j flavours. Often dominated with green apples, | the wine has a powerhouse of flavours that I leave an intensity on the palate and a longevi-1 ty on the finish. In contrast, big alcoholic wines often have I


very ripe fruit and this causes the glycerol I effect of feeling and smelling like the fruit is | “sweeter” than it is. The actual alcohol tends to lift the flavours |


through its volatility - or willingness to evap-1 orate - so we “smell” more of the wines phe-1 nolics richness and complexity in the bou-i quet, our brain then expects more flavour in I the mouth. Then we taste a smoother richBr| wine.

PERCY GRAINGER DAY takes place in St John‘s Min­ ster, Preston, on Saturday. I t will feature a day of talks, workshops and recitals dedicated to the work of Percy Grainger, who was bom in Brighton in 1882. He made his first concert tour at the age of 12. Soon aftenvards he went to Germany with his mother. Rose, to further his training as a pianist and composer. Back in London he befriended the Norwegian composer Edward Grieg, whose love of national music inspired Percy to look closely at English folk music. Grainger was a prolific composer, with well over 1200 works and arrangements in all.
