e perceived pear aroma in wines was associated with various short-and medium-chain ester compounds. A consumer study con rmed this assumption. In total, eight ester compounds from a series of 100 aromatic substances were associated with the pear aroma. In this study, a valid stable isotope dilution assay headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (SIDA-HS-SPME-GC-MS) method was developed for the analysis of these compounds, and 102 Austrian Pinot blanc wines of vintages 2013-2016 were analysed. ey were assessed with regard to vintage and origin in uences as well as wine styles. However, an attempt was made to capture the synergies of these compounds for the pear aroma. With the detection of ethyl (E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate and methyl (E)-geranoate, two volatile compounds were measured which had not previously been detected in Austrian wines. e eight analysed esters were perceived very di erently. erefore, speci c odour activity values for the various sensations could be calculated with a mathematical combination of the analyses and the results of the sensory studies. A vintage in uence on the sensorial descriptor "overripe pear" and a relationship between wine style and total pear aroma were determined.
