Pedological factor influence on the viticultural zoning of the Aljarafe Alto (Seville, Spain)

Abstract

Aljarafe Alto est une petite zone naturelle dans le département de Séville (Espagne), où le cépage autochtone cultivé est le Palomino Garrido Fino. Les auteurs étudient l’influence de 3 types de sols (sol Rouge fersialitique, sol brun calcaire et Rendsine blanche) sur 9 vignobles de la variété “Palomino Garrido Fino” du “Aljarafe Alto” (Seville).
Les résultats expérimentaux montrent des différences statistiquement significatives pour quelques caractéristiques du potentiel agronomique des sols et leurs conséquences sur le niveau de nutrition minérale des vignobles et sur la qualité des récoltes.
Le traitement statistique des paramètres oenologiques des microvinifications des moûts issus des vignobles étudiés montre le facteur pédologique comme le critère les plus relevant dans le zonage vitivinicole de la région Aljarafe Alto (Seville).

The Aljarafe Alto is a small natural area in the province of Seville (Spain), where the autochthonous vine is the cultivar Palomino Garrido Fino. The authors study the influence of 3 types of soils (Mediterranean red soil (calcic Rhodoxeralf); calcareous brown soil (calcixerolic Xerochrept); white Rendsina (calcicxerollic Xerorthent) in nine vineyard plots. The results reveal statistically significant differences in some characteristics of the agronomie fertility of the soils and, as a consequence, in the mineral nutrition stage of the plants and crop qualify.
Musts proceeding from the vineyard plots chosen for this study were fermented in laboratory. The results from statistical treatment of oenological parameters of these wine samples reveal the pedological factor to be the most relevant for the viticultural zoning of the Aljarafe Alto zone.

Modulating role of SO2 in white wine protein haze formation

Despite the extensive research performed during the last decades, the multifactorial mechanism responsible for the white wine protein haze formation is not fully characterized. Herein, a new model is proposed, which is based on the experimental identification of sulfur dioxide as a major modulating factor inducing wine protein haze upon heating. As opposed to other reducing agents, such as 2-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol and tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine hydrochloride (TCEP), the addition of SO2 to must/wine upon heating cleaves intraprotein disulfide bonds, hinders thiol-disulfide exchange during protein interactions and can lead to the formation of novel inter/intraprotein disulfide bonds. Those are eventually responsible for wine protein aggregation which follows a nucleation-growth kinetic model as shown by dynamic light scattering [1].
