Amino acids and volatile compounds play an important role in wine aroma and sensory characteristics. The concentrations of these compounds might be altered by climate interanual variability and by management practices such as irrigation. The aim of the current study was to assess the amino acid profile of musts and wines, volatile composition and sensory profile of wines from Vitis vinifera (L.) cultivar 'Treixadura' obtained from vines under rain-fed and irrigation conditions over three consecutive vintages (2012-2014). Musts and wines from the irrigation treatment tended to be higher in acidity than those from rain-fed. However, amino acid and aromatic profiles were mostly affected by climate conditions of each year; although irrigation exerted a significant effect on several compounds (proline, cysteine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, alpha-terpineol and geraniol). Wines from both treatments received similar marks in the sensory tests, suggesting that irrigation did not greatly modify wine quality under the conditions of this study.
