“…International varieties, considered the most cultivated varieties in the world (Robinson, 2006), have been studied in relation to different aspects during the last number of years. Recently, several authors studied wine volatile compounds from international cultivars grown in different geographic areas, namely Cabernet Sauvignon from China, California and Brazil (Falcao et al, 2008;Preston et al, 2008;Tao et al, 2008;Jiang & Zhang, 2010), Sauvignon blanc from New Zealand, France and Australia (Berna et al, 2009;Lund et al, 2009), Chardonnay from Croatia and China (Hejavec et al, 2007;Preston et al, 2008;Falcao et al, 2008;Berna et al, 2009;Jiang & Zhang 2010), Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from Spain (Ferreira et al, 2000), and others. These studies have attempted to characterise the different wines from different terroir to show the influence of geographic area on wine composition, thus showing the versatility of these grape varieties.…”
