Environmental influences on microbial community development during organic pinot noir wine production in outdoor and indoor fermentation conditions.

ABSTRACT: The role of microbial diversity in influencing the organoleptic properties of wine and other fermented products is well est ablished, and understanding microbial dynamics within fermentation processes can be critical for quality assurance and product innovation. This is especially true for winemakers using spontaneous fermentation techniques, where environmental factors may play an important role in consistency of product. Here, we use a metabarcoding approach to investigate the influence of two environmental systems used by an organic winemaker to produce wines; vineyard (outdoors) and winery (indoors) to the bacterial and fungal communities throughout the duration of a spontaneous fermentation of the same batch of Pinot Noir grapes.
