Sc01 and Sc02 represented 52.7% of the population of the Saccharomyces strains isolated throughout the fermentation process. W. anomalus appeared as the predominant species among the non-Saccharomyces yeasts. Wa turned out to be the strain of this species with the shortest lag phase and positive enzymatic activities, and it was selected for white wine production. Fermentations with unique inoculation of S. cerevisiae strains were compared with sequential inoculation with W. anomalus. The results showed that the sequential inoculations did not affect the fermentation kinetics or physicochemical characteristics of the wines compared with the unique inoculations. However, this study identified a significant impact on the aromatic profiles of the produced wines due to the sequential inoculations. This modification resulted in a similar new aromatic profile in both sequential inoculations, demonstrating common characteristics related to the contribution of W. anomalus. In general, the sequential fermentations were mainly characterized by lower levels of acetate esters and an increase in ethyl acetate levels, whereas lower levels of ethyl octanoate and ethyl dec-9-enoate were detected. Propan-1-ol and butan-1-ol showed an increase in the sequential fermentations, while 4-methylpentan-1-ol and 2-phenylethanol were found in lower concentrations. These results highlight the great influence that the presence of specific strains of native non-Saccharomyces yeasts exerts on the characteristics of elaborate wines.
