Volatile phenols in wines are responsible for unpleasant aromas, which negatively affect the quality of the wine. These compounds are produced from the metabolism of hydroxycinnamic acids, mainly by the yeasts Brettanomyces/Dekkera. Relevant data, potentially useful to support decisions on how to manage the risk of contamination of wines by Brettanomyces/Dekkera, according to the grape varieties used in the vinification, is important to the wine industry. Therefore, the aim of this work was to evaluate the survival and the metabolism of hydroxycinnamic acids by Dekkera bruxellensis in monovarietal wines.
