Table 5Sensory evaluation of experimental wines from White Riesling either receiving supplementalirrigation or only natural precipitation from the 2003 vintage in the Rheingau region,Germany. Bottled wines (screw cap) of both treatments were in part ‘artificially aged’ bywarm-s<strong>to</strong>ring these bottles at 25 °C for three months. Wine attributes were rated on a scalefrom 0-5 (higher values indicated more intense perception of the respective attribute) by 115judges on 7 September, 2004.

The scaling exponent (i.e.slope of the regression in a log-log scale) is greater than 1, thus indicating that therelative rate of accumulation of anthocyanins was greater than the relative rate ofaccumulation of sugar across treatments. (b) Relationship between the sugar-anthocyaninscaling exponent and irrigation; the standard treatment received 160 mm in 2003-2004,210 mm in 2004-2005, and 220 mm in 2005-2006. Source: Sadras et al.
