Beating smoke taint with sparkling wine : Climate Change Adaptation for the Tasmanian wine industry (2021 - 2024)$217,434

Description: Smoke-affected fruit is a significant cost to the wine grape industry and significant risk that deters investors and industry expansion. Negative sensory outcomes, not apparent in fruit but manifesting after fermentation and wine making, means significant financial outlay has already been invested with little to no chance for financial return. For vineyards and wineries, this could also include years of sunk investment into ageing of fine wines. Current options for remediation have focussed on removing smoke-taint compounds using activated carbon but these methods have also stripped out important flavour and aroma compounds. Thus, alternative approaches for adaptation to the ever-increasing risk and reality of smoke taint from bushfires without adversely affecting wine flavour and aroma is considered critical for the Tasmanian wine industry where the value-proposition is premium quality.Wine Tasmania, via its Technical Committee, has identified smoke taint as its number one R&D priority and propose that this be investigated in relation to sparkling wine production, given that this is the biggest segment of Tasmanian wine production (Wine Tas Vintage Report 2020/21). Wine Tasmania and the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture propose to jointly investigate the following research questions:*Is producing a premium sparkling wine from low levels of smoke taint-affected wine grapes a viable alternative to producing still wines?*What are the thresholds of volatile phenols created by smoke that are able to be tolerated in sparkling winemaking methods?*What are the short-term effects of smoke taint on bottle-aged sparkling (18 months)?*What are the long-term effects of smoke taint on bottle-aged sparkling (3-10 years)?Proposed activitiesPart 1 - mitigation and remediation of smoke taintInvestigate if:1)making sparkling wine from smoke-affected wine grapes is a viable alternative to still wine 2)activated carbon (identified by AWRI as a method for mitigating smoke taint) and/or glycosidase treatment can reduce the levels of smoke taint compounds in sparkling winesThe intention is to conduct this over three successive seasons and to refine the research questions and approach in response to industry collaboration and input. Proposed analysis for grapes, juice, and wine:-Free and bound smoke taint compounds (commercial service provider - consistent with industry practice and interpretation)-Pivot sensory analysis with minimum 10 winemakers (only for wine)-Compositional analysis of volatile compounds-Wine matrix data including pH, sugar levels (Brix), titratable acidity, alcohol content, and total phenolics.Part 2 - Sparkling wines and smoke taint over timeSparkling wine will be made from grapes exposed to no, low, and high levels of fresh smoke on the vine and aged on lees in a winery's storage facility to replicate commercial conditions. The wines will be analysed at bottling, and at various timepoints after bottling for ten years. The wines will be stored for analyses in the hope of sourcing additional funding beyond the 3-years of the ADF. Proposed analysis for wine is the same as for Part 1.Part 3 - Agile bushfire responseA provision of funds will be set aside to conduct experiments with actual bushfire smoked grapes. For example, if a region of Tasmania is unfortunate enough to experience smoke taint via a bushfire, a smaller trial of Part 2 will be conducted. By the end of the second year, if Tasmanian wine-growing regions have been spared, these funds will be diverted to investigation of other remediation options.

Protected cropping for high value horticultural production: effects of climate modification and growing systems using cherry as a case study (2020 - 2021)$114,373

Description: Significant investment is currently occurring in protected cropping systems (PCS) across Australia driven by improved yield, quality and significantly reduced risk of adverse weather conditions due to climate variability. This is particularly focussed on high value fruit and vegetables such as tomato, capsicum, and berries. PCS have been recently installed in cherry growing regions to alleviate the risk of late season rains. However, the effects of PCS on environmental conditions and how growing systems should be designed to most efficiently capture resources needs investigation. These are new growing environments that if understood offer the possibility of quantum shifts in production of yield and quality. The aim of this project is to quantify the effects of PCS on key climate variables (relevant to all crops grown under PCS) and use cherry as a case study to this end. The results will provide strategies to best capture value of crops grown under PCS through enabling the production of quality that is demanded by discerning consumers of horticultural produce.

The bioactivity and stability of the honey from Leatherwood (Eucryphia lucida) (2019 - 2022)$225,000

Description: Leatherwood is a unique and undervalued mono-floral honey that is endemic to Tasmania. It is the backbone of the Tasmanian honey industry and critical to supporting the state governments vison for lifting agricultural productivity in the state (via its role in supporting pollination services). To increase its value, Tasmanian beekeepers would like to know how Leatherwood bioactivity compares with other mono-florals, and establish descriptors of Leatherwood honey bioactivity.This PhD study will collate and review past research on Leatherwood honey, and then specifically focus on identifying the active constituents within the honey that promote antimicrobial, anti-oxidant and prebiotic activity. Conditions to provide assurance of continued bioactivity of Leatherwood honey will be identified. This will establish the nature and effectiveness of the bioactivity in Leatherwood honey for marketing purposes.To prove Leatherwood honeys mono-floral status, the chemical profile, and particularly chemical signatures, will be sought so that they can be included into traceability systems.Research into Leatherwood and the associated bee industry receives little, to no, attention as many of the national funding bodies relegate such R&D as being 'state-centric', whilst on a state basis, research dollars are allocated to crops valued against tangible and direct market return. Despite this, the recently incorporated Cooperative Research Centre for Honey Bee Products (CRCHBP) has a core objective to pursue research that addresses potentially value adding initiatives in the honey industry. The CRCHBP will provide the stipend for a local PhD candidate to study at the University of Tasmania ($105,000) and link with the research network established across Australia. Industry is providing $10,000 pa operating funds and in-kind by sourcing honey samples and information for the success of the Project.

Novel technologies and practises for the optimisation of pollination within protected cropping environments (2019 - 2023)$1,259,944

Description: Pollination is essential for production of most fruit and seed crops and it is often the limiting factor for both yield and product quality. Despite its fundamental importance, management of pollination has not received the level of innovation and technological advancement that is warranted. At present, pollination of the majority of Australia's horticultural crops is dependent on the European honeybee (Apis mellifera), from either wild colonies and/or domesticated hives introduced in to the crop. The heavy dependence on this one species is a major risk and limitation to horticulture in Australia (and globally). The risks to Australian horticulture that this situation poses can only be alleviated by the development of alternative pollination systems.This project seeks to address the lack of research into pollination systems to develop robust approaches for key horticultural crops based on fundamental research. TIA will seek to lead the mechanical pollination component of the program.

Understanding and manipulating environmental factors for targeted cannabinoid production (2018 - 2021)$105,000

Description: The project will investigate cannabinoid accumulation and distribution in the plant in relation to ontogeny and environmental conditions. This study will track the changes in cannabinoid profiles in response to temperature, day length, water and nutrition relations and the relative effects on candidate seed lines. Rates of respiration and carbohydrate metabolism will be related to the profile of cannabinoids and other terpenoids under a range of growing conditions. By elucidating the nature of oil synthesis in organelles of different seed-lines, in relation to the balance of photosynthetic and respiratory activity during leaf development, this study will seek to establish which parameters have the greatest effect on the bioactive profile with view to the manipulation of light intensity, temperature and nutrition for selectivity of cannabinoid profile and maximised yields.

Accumulation of STLs in pyrethrum extract (2017 - 2021)$84,463

Description: Botanicals Resources Australia (BRA) is a Tasmanian based company that is the single largest supplier of the natural insecticide pyrethrum, in the world. Organic solvents are used to produce an oleoresin containing six active ingredients. Sesquiterpene Lactones (SPLs) are one class of co-extractives that can cause allergic reactions when contacting the skin and often precipitate during storage, creating unwanted debris in the final product. Yet these chemicals are also bioactive, having anti-herbivore, anti-microbial and allelochemical functionality.This study is to further elucidate the chemistry behind the solubility and polymerisation of STLs. It will investigate the mechanism behind the process in pyrethrum oil and what combination of temperature and storage time minimises the polymerization and precipitation process.The research will study the extraction profile of STLs in sub-critical CO2 extraction looking at the dependence of pressure, temperature and the concomitant fluid density on the extraction from pelletised pyrethrum. Experiments will be undertaken to establish the relative solubility of STLs in hexane and related organic solvents, compared to those of the target pyrethrums.In consultation with industry the project will compare the production of pyrethrin and STLs in selected high and low STL producing plants with view to understanding the mechanism for the regulation of the genes involved in STL production which may lead to ways to 'switch off' of the STL synthesis. Experiments will relate the conditions of temperature, oxygen and moisture to post-harvest production and/or degrading of the STLs prior to extraction.

Improved productivity and profitability for the Australian apple and pear industry (2015 - 2020)$925,000

Description: This project in collaboration with Plant Food Research will develop a multi-season N budget underpinned by fertigation research that builds on findings from the current fertigation project (AP12006) and a decision support tool that will guide advisor/grower optimisation of irrigation and fertigation application for all major national regions. Fertigation research will include the continuation of a major ongoing nitrogen and irrigation trial at Lucaston Park Orchards in Southern Tasmania. This trial was established for AP12006 and fertigation and irrigation treatments will continue for the next four growing seasons creating one of the longest intensive nutrition trials ever completed in the POME fruit industry. Undertaking litter decomposition studies, labelled N research and monitoring tree performance and N leaching will enable us to determine for the first time a complete N budget for commercial apple production. This research will provide an understanding of how fertiliser application approach, rates and timings can be managed to best satisfy the tree's N requirements, mitigate leaching and optimize productivity without a cost to fruit quality. The decision support tool backed by a meta-model incorporating data from field N fertigation trials, multi-site regional soil parameterisation, climate and tree physiological datasets will provide growers with a reliable assessment of their orchard's soil, water and nutrient status based on their irrigation and fertiliser inputs. Growers and advisors will be trained in the usage of the decision support tool. This research will enable growers and advisers to explore different irrigation and fertilizer strategies and management practices for different soil types and climates in order to optimize yield achievement without cost to quality.

Improved red wine process efficiency and product quality through enhanced phenolic extraction by controlled phenolic release (CPR) and berry pricking (2014 - 2017)$447,261

Description: Skin contact time for phenolic extraction in red winemaking seriously constrains winery throughput. Winemaker groups consulted about phenolic extraction processes reported that some red grape varieties require prolonged time on skins for adequate extraction. Controlled Phenolic Release (CPR) is a novel winemaking process which couples microwave maceration with managed post-maceration phenolic diffusion. Three years of laboratory-scale research have shown CPR can achieve rapid, effective, predictable extraction of red grape phenolics. A second prototype rapid extraction process, 'berry pricking' was proven effective for Pinot noir in trials conducted on a semi-commercial scale in 2013. Both CPR and berry pricking are in-line processes which increase winery process efficiency, enhance quality and improve profitability. This project collaborates with engineers and winemakers in Victoria, NSW and Tasmania to pilot CPR and berry pricking, and identify and disseminate best practice for winemaking using these processes.

How does tannin and anthocyanin in the grapes relate to wine quality? (2014)$6,000

Description: Tannin is a critical component of red wine and influences both wine colour and mouth-feel. Research has shown good correlation between wine grades and tannin concentration. Young wines contain free anthocyanins, but as wines age they are incorporated into stable pigment, mainly through reaction with tannin. The proposed project aims to define the relationship between grape tannin and anthocyanin and the resulting wine tannin and anthocyanin. Using ten Tasmanian vineyards to obtain a good spectrum of fruit types, Pinot Noir fruit of the same clone will be collected at commercial harvest. Fruit will then be tested for total tannin and total anthocyanin. Small scale wine making will be performed and at the end of fermentation the wine will undergo the same analysis for total tannin and anthocyanin. It is possible that the result will be a prediction tool to allow growers to select fruit parcels based on the desired final wine quality or options for manipulating the fruit during the wine making process to achieve desired outcome. Leaf removal is a commonly used strategy to improve the light environment around the bunch, which in turn can improve colour and tannin development. At each of the trial sites in this study, a leaf removal treatment will be imposed in an attempt to promote greater tannin and anthocyanin development. This higher light environment could impact the grape concentration of the compounds, which will become evident in the grape and wine analysis. This project focuses on the measurement of tannin and colour of red grapes specifically.

Devising Ecologically Sustainable Restoration Programs for Degraded Rural Landscapes by Integrating Landscape Ecology, Conservation Genetics and Ecophysiology (2009 - 2012)$730,000

Description: Restoring the ecological function of degraded rural landscapes is a national priority, yet achieving this goal remains a major challenge. Combining approaches from different ecological disciplines the project will: (a) identify priority areas for tree plantings; (b) determine which tree species can establish in degraded landscapes, and have the capacity to grow in the predicted hotter and drier climates in the late 21st century; (c) evaluate whether local species or races are necessarily better than non-local types; and (d) understand the trade-off between tree growth, carbon storage and water use. This research will provide an urgently needed scientific framework for proposed large-scale restoration of degraded Tasmanian rural landscapes.
