hedonic scale, and quantitative descriptive wine analysis. The use of Bordô wine for<br />

assemblage with Niagara Rosada wine resulted in a beverage with more balanced<br />

physicochemical characteristics concerning acidity, dry extract content, and reduced dry<br />

extract, alcohol/reduced dry extract relation, polyphenol content, and coloration. There was no<br />

significant statistical difference (p• 0.05) in the acceptance test as for global acceptance,<br />

flavor, and aroma of different treatments, although the appearance acceptance was higher for<br />

more intense coloration treatments. In quantitative descriptive analysis, 13 descriptive terms<br />

were chosen to describe similarities and differences between samples: red and golden-yellow<br />

coloration, transparency, grape, alcohol, artificial grape and acid aromas, acid taste, dry, grape<br />

juice and alcohol flavor, astringency, and body. The used descriptors were adequate for<br />

sample discrimination, except the alcohol aroma one which did not show significant statistical<br />

difference for the analyzed wines. The pomace, which is usually used as a source of nutrients<br />

in the vineyard, was distilled for ethanol recovery before its final use in the field. Ethanol<br />

recovery was higher for Niagara grape distilled than for Bordô grape; these results are justified<br />

by the higher sugar content in Niagara Rosada grape what contributes to higher alcohol<br />

concentration in the pomace.<br />

Keywords: Vitis labrusca, enology, quantitative descriptive analysis.
