00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:47,000 We'll continue our look at the most popular red and white grape varieties in Texas and this week we focus on Roussaint. 16 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Roussaint, also known as Bergeron, is believed to be originally from the northern Rome wine region of France. 17 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:03,000 It gets its name from the word Rue, in which the pigment of the grape variety resembles a reddish brown or russet color. 18 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000 Roussaint thrives in climates with warm temperatures and intense sunny conditions, much like what we have here in Texas. 19 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Without this climate, Roussaint struggles to achieve phenolic brightness and instead can easily develop mildew or rot. 20 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:26,000 In fact, one of the drawbacks to cultivating Roussaint is its susceptibility to mildew and rot. 21 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:38,000 Pottery mildew or odium is a fungal plant disease that appears as patchy white or gray splotches that looks like white powder on the leaves and stems of the infected plants. 22 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Roussaint prefers a long growing season in order to fully ripen and display classic reddish gold tones of grape skins. 23 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:57,000 Roussaint is characterized by bright floral aromas with peach, pear, nuts, baked bread and spices that sometimes has herbal and tea-like aromas. 24 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:06,000 On the palate, Roussaint is a full-body white wine with rich and rounded texture confirming flavors of lanolin and chamomile. 25 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:19,000 Roussaint is a great blending grape variety, playing particularly well with mar sign where it adds inviting aromatics, elegance and acidity with the potential to age and further develop in the bottle. 26 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Look for Roussaint to continue to be a significant grape variety at many Texas wineries and on tasting room menus. 27 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Roussaint is a great blend of grape and wine. 28 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Before we get into the wine events for the weekend, let's check the weather. 29 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:47,000 The weather for the weekend in the High Plains wine growing region will have high temperatures of 96 degrees with low temperatures of 60 degrees. 30 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:55,000 The

00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,520 6 to 9 PM. 168 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,440 And that's your music lineup for the weekend. 169 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,040 Stay tuned for it. 170 00:15:53,040 --> 00:16:03,640 Did you know? 171 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:12,720 The Revolutionary War, also known as the American Revolution, lasted from 1775 to 1783 and was 172 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:19,240 an insurrection by patriots in the 13 colonies against British rule resulting in American 173 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,080 independence. 174 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:27,840 The original 13 colonies in the American Revolution were New Hampshire, Massachusetts, 175 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:38,520 Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, 176 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,120 North and South Carolina, and Georgia. 177 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:47,680 Attempts by the British government to raise revenue by taxing the colonies met with heated 178 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:53,680 protests among many colonists who resented their lack of representation in parliament 179 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:58,120 and demanded the same rights as other British subjects. 180 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:06,200 Rebels waged a full-scale war and the British surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781. 181 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,720 The tradition of setting off fireworks on the 4th of July began in Philadelphia on July 182 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:18,040 4, 1777, during the first organized celebration of the Independence Day. 183 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:24,240 Ship's cannons fired a 13-gun salute in honor of the 13 colonies. 184 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:30,520 The first ingredient of any fireworks is the ancient explosive black powder mix with potassium 185 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,600 nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur. 186 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:41,120 Once lit with a fuse or a spark, the sulfur melts, then the sulfur flows over the potassium 187 00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:44,560 nitrate and charcoal, which then burns. 188 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:50,080 This combustion reaction quickly produces a large amount of energy and gas, in other 189 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,880 words, an explosion. 190 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:58,000 Then we look up into the sky and awe of the beautiful color and arrangements of the fireworks 191 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,680 presentation. 192 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:06,040 And if you're anything like me, you're enjoying this spectacle with a glass of wine in hand. 193 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:11,560 And then comes the familiar smell of burnt matches or gunpowder, which leads me to ask 194 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:12,800 the question. 195 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:19,040 Have you ever smelled that aroma in a wine and wondered how or what causes it? 196 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:26,240 Well, did you know that the same sulfur used in the black powder mixture is also used in 197 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:32,000 wine and is often described as a fault in winemaking? 198 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,000 But is it? 199 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,600 Here's a scoop on sulfur. 200 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:42,000 In the vineyard, sulfur is used as a spray to prevent powdery and downy mildew in grapevines 201 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,640 which are popular vine diseases in Texas. 202 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:52,800 In the winery, sulfur is combined with oxygen to create sulfur dioxide, which is in an effective 203 00:18:52,800 --> 00:19:00,920 antiseptic, antimicrobial, and antioxidant used to prevent spoilage and premature oxidation 204 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,440 turning the wine into vinegar. 205 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,240 But when does the smell of sulfur become a wine fault? 206 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:13,240 According to wine expert and scientist Jamie Good in his book Flawless, Understanding Wine 207 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:21,200 Faults, the smell of sulfur in its various forms is caused by a process called reduction. 208 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:27,040 Reduction in a generalized explanation is caused during the breakdown of yeast. 209 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:32,880 During fermentation, if the wine is produced with limited exposure to oxygen and there 210 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:39,720 are low levels of nitrogen in the must, yeast will produce volatile sulfur compounds such 211 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:47,960 as hydrogen sulfide which smells like rotten eggs, bad drains, cooked cabbage, or gun flint. 212 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:54,040 For me, the gun flint aroma evokes memories of my childhood and reminds me of spent fireworks 213 00:19:54,040 --> 00:20:02,200 or those little red strips or red caps used in toy guns to simulate the pop of a pistol. 214 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,520 So it would be fair to say that I like the fact that the smell of sulfur takes me down 215 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:14,960 memory lane to my childhood, but I don't like the aroma of sulfur in my wine as an adult. 216 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:20,920 Yeah, the smell of bottle rockets, roman candles, and sparklers in my wine glass is definitely 217 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:27,440 a flaw in my book, but I'm gained for a good fireworks display against a dark sky on the 218 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,440 4th of July. 219 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,000 Well, that would do it for this week's episode. 220 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000 Thank you for joining me. 221 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,320 I'm Mike Cole, your Texas Wine Scene correspondent, and I look forward to seeing you next time 222
