New wines from Târnave vineyard: Selena and Blasius

Abstract

At the wine market level, there is a strong and permanent demand for Qualified Denomination of Origin (DOC) wines of high quality and low price. SCDVV Blaj has already a tradition of obtaining new wines from varieties homologated here. This study presents two new wines obtained at SCDVV Blaj, together with other six classical DOC Târnave wines. To obtain new wine which addresses the consumer quality demands keeping also a high quality. There were analyzed for comparison eight wines, six dry wines, one aromatic (Muscat Ottonel), and one semi-aromatic (Traminer roz). For all these samples, the following parameters were measured: % alcohol content, total acidity (g/L C4H6O6), volatile acidity (g/L CH3COOH), dry extract (g/L), non-reducing dry extract (g/L), relative density at 20°C and the total sugars (g/L). Selena and Blasius wines fulfill the standards for white dry DOC wines and we recommend their introduction on the wine market.
