House Keeping Rules • Keep your microphone on mute • 4 Rounds of 10 questions each • Honor system marking – if you cheat, you’re only cheating yourself • Don’t type the answers out in the chat • Dry Note Blind Tasting Tiebreaker • If you have a wine and want to be on camera giving a tasting note, send a private chat message to Amber expressing your interest and what the wine is • After the game, the question slides will be uploaded to FlashcardWineTrivia.com for review.

Round 1 - Rosé wine (D1, D4, D5) Q1 – Which method allows for the greatest control of the final flavor and color of rosés? A.) Direct press B.) Short maceration C.) Saignee D.) Blending Red & White wine Q2 – True or False. Even for premium rosé, high yields are desirable. Q3 – True or False. In contrast to red Ports, producers of rosé Port will often use an aromatic, less neutral fortifying spirit to make up for the lack of concentration in the grapes. Q4 – How many of these varieties are NOT permitted to be used for rosado Cava? Bonus point for naming what’s not allowed. Garnacha, Trepat, Pinot noir, Monastrell, Tempranillo Mourvedre and saignee rosé juice. Photo taken by self and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons as User:Agne27

Round 1 - Answers (D1, D4, D5) Q1 – Which method allows for the greatest control of the final flavor and color of rosés? A.) Direct press B.) Short maceration C.) Saignee D.) Blending Red & White wine (D1 14.4) Q2 – True or False. Even for premium rosé, high yields are desirable. (D1 19.2) Don’t necessarily need ripe tannins/phenolics. More about acid/balance Q3 – True or False . In contrast to red Ports, producers of rosé Port will often use an aromatic, less neutral fortifying spirit to make up for the lack of concentration in the grapes. (D5 1) Aiming for more subtle, delicate flavors from the grapes. Q4 – How many of these varieties are NOT permitted to be used for rosado Cava? Bonus point for naming what’s not allowed. Garnacha, Trepat, Pinot noir, Monastrell, Tempranillo (D4 10.1) Rose Champagne Bubbles by Gaetan Lee. Wikimedia Commons CC BY 2.5, If answered One + Tempranillo = 2 points One + named a different grape = 1 point Different number of grapes but named Tempranillo as a no-no = 0.5 pt

Cote de Bar (D4 3) Q6 – What is the maximum % of white grapes allowed in AOC Provence rosés? Bonus point for naming most common white used A.) 20% (D3 8.3) B.) 10% C.) 5% Bonus: Rolle (Vermentino). In reality, usually less than 10% used to add freshness & acidity to the rose. Q7 – On the WSET SAT scale, what is the typical sweetness level of California White Zinfandel with low 10.5 – 11% alcohol? Dry, Off-Dry, Medium-Dry , Medium-Sweet, Sweet (D3 23) Source: Google Earth

Round 1 - Answers (D3 only) Q8 – True or False . Navarra rosados can be made by direct pressing or short maceration but the saignee method is not permitted. (20.3) Direct press and saignee are not permitted. Short maceration only. 3-4 hours for pale color, 6-12 hours for deeper rosados. Q9 – Which Spanish grape was historically used mainly for rosé (due to its high acidity and fruitiness) but now is most associated with red wines from the Utiel-Requena DO? A.) Mencia B.) Bobal (20.6) C.) Trepat D.) Maturana Tinta Q10 – Which Loire AOC makes a unique rosé from Pinot gris? A.) Sancerre Photo by Jim Fischer from Portland, Oregon, USA - Skin-Fermented Pinot gris, CC BY 2.0, B.) Reuilly (6.3) Wikimedia Commons C.) Quincy D.) Menetou-Salon Can also be a blend with Pinot noir but many varietal PG rosés

Round 2 – Rootstocks & Clones (D1, D3, D5) Q1 – Beyond phylloxera/pests, name 2 of the 3 other main vineyard conditions/issues that influence rootstock selection? Bonus point for naming all 3 Q2 – Phylloxera is fairly low risk in Argentina & Chile, but what other pest do producers graft resistance rootstock to ward off? Q3 – Name 3 of the 5 Portuguese grape varieties that have been the focus of intense clonal research in the Douro since the 1980s? Bonus point for naming all 5 Q4 – Which two Livermore vineyards, planted in the 1880s (one with cuttings from Meursault, the other from Margaux), are the heritage source of around 80% of the Chardonnay & Cabernet Sauvignon clones used in California?

Round 2 – Rootstocks & Clones (D1, D3) Q5 – After phylloxera, it was discovered that many American rootstocks struggled in calcareous European soils, causing the leaves of the grapevines to turn yellow and stop photosynthesis. What is the name of this condition? Bonus point for naming the rootstock species that can tolerate these high pH/lime soils Q6 – Which of these two Pinot noir clones would most likely be used for sparkling wine production? A.) Clone 115 – produces low yields of small berried clusters B.) Clone 521 – produces high yields of bigger grapes This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC Q7 – Along with Spatsburgunder, what red German grape (widely grown in BY-SA-NC the Pfalz & Rheinhessen) has benefited considerably from the development of new clones that produce deeper color, high acid & floral wines with sour cherry & blackberry notes?

Round 2 – Rootstocks & Clones (D3, D5) Q8 – Which Spanish region uses hybrid rootstocks made from Vitis vinifera and Vitis berlandieri (like 333EM, 41B, 13-5 EVEX) to produce high yields in drought conditions and limestone soils? Q9 – What herbal white Italian wine grape, grown in the Marche and Abruzzo region, has there been concentrated efforts to find more productive clones that don’t have as many sterile buds close to the trunk?

Round 2 – Answers (D1, D3) Q5 – After phylloxera, it was discovered that many American rootstocks struggled in calcareous European soils, causing the leaves of the grapevines to turn yellow and stop photosynthesis. What is the name of this condition? Bonus point for naming rootstock species that can tolerate these high pH/lime soils Chlorosis (D1 8.1) Bonus: Vitis berlandieri (41B) Q6 – Which of these two Pinot noir clones would most likely be used for sparkling wine production? A.) Clone 115 – produces low yields of small berried clusters B.) Clone 521 – produces high yields of bigger grapes (D1 1.2) Need less concentration & development of tannins for sparkling wine than you would for red wine production. Q7 – Along with Spatsburgunder, what red German grape (widely grown in the Pfalz & Rheinhessen) has benefited considerably from the development of new clones that produce deeper color, high acid & floral wines with sour cherry & blackberry notes?
