Is there a reason that pyrizines seem to be more present in New World wines? - The Athan Zafirov Wine Blog

Is there a reason that pyrizines seem to be more present in New World wines?

Is it style choice? Is it on the grape? I mean the main old world example I can name is cabernet franc from the Loire (bell pepper aroma), and of course you have a bit of grassiness from sauvignon blanc from the same region. But with carmènere from Chili or sauvignon blanc from New Zealand or South Africa it just seems to be a lot more on the foreground.
