El medio natural de Chile como factor de adaptación de la vid

Abstract

Chile, junto con Australia, EE.UU., Sudáfrica, Argentina y Nueva Zelanda constituye el grupo de países del nuevo mundo vitivinícola. Todos ellos en conjunto han experimentado en la última década un sostenido crecimiento en la participación del mercado internacional de vinos, destacándose en el grupo Australia, EE.UU. y Chile. En 1990, las exportaciones de Australia y EE.UU sobrepasaban levemente los US$ 100 millones, Chile representaba la mitad de esta cantidad (Cuadro 1), en cambio en 1998, los tres países presentan cifras similares, sobrepasando levemente los US$ 500 millones.
De acuerdo al diario financiero “The Economist” (1999), el conjunto de los países del nuevo mundo y en particular el de Australia, EE.UU. y Chile, se caracteriza por una industria vitivinícola muy concentrada. En efecto, sólo cuatro compañías dominan el 80% del mercado australiano, en EE.UU., las cinco más grandes tienen el 62% del mercado y en Chile, las cinco principales poseen el 50%. El crecimiento en la participación de mercado de estas compañías globales es reflejo de sus presupuestos de promoción y su habilidad para proveer grandes cantidades de vino a los supermercados. Estas empresas se han caracterizado por invertir en tecnología e innovación, lo que les permite expresar la peculiaridad de cada una de las variedades de vid, o de la mezcla que vinifica y que destacan en sus etiquetas.
En el caso particular de Chile, los primeros indicios de la reconversión de su industria vitivinícola se pueden establecer a partir del año 1986 y son consecuencia del éxito de pequeñas partidas iniciales de vinos finos destinados a los mercados externos, particularmente de Latinoamérica. En aquella época se desarrollo sólo en las principales empresas del rubro un nuevo impulso de plantaciones de variedades tintas y blancas, de probada fineza y calidad, fundamentalmente Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot (Carménère), Chardonnay y Sauvignon blanc (vert). Por el contrario, el resto de la industria se encontraba sumida en una de las más profundas crisis que ha tenido que experimentar Chile, caracterizada por una fuerte disminución de la superficie global de los viñedos.

Grape solids: new advances on the understanding of their role in enological alcoholic fermentation

Residual grape solids (suspended particles) in white and rosé musts vary depending on the clarification pro-cess. These suspended solids contain lipids (more especially phytosterols) that are essential for yeast meta-bolism and viability during fermentation in anaerobic conditions.

Use of new tools for red wine aging: active and passive microoxygenation with oak wood. Effect on volatile compounds and sensorial impact

The aim of this study was to evaluate the evolution of different chemical parameters and sensory impact on red wine during maturation in barrels or with new technologies

Training rats to drink red wine: effects of different drinking approaches on drinking/feeding habits, weight gain and survival from myocardial infarction

The habit of regular, moderate wine consumption, particularly with meals, is associated with protective effects from coronary heart disease. Epidemiological studies looking at myocardial protection/recovery focus mainly on the effects of red wine due to its high content in antioxidants, especially polyphenols. In several previous studies, conducted in our laboratory, we have concentrated on the effects of moderate consumption of white wine, by experimental animals (rats), gaining a significant experience in technical and procedural challenges. The scientific literature, and our past experience, suggests that rats are resilient towards consumption of full bodied, barrique red wines.

Impact of enological enzymes on aroma profile of Prosecco wines during second fermentation and sur lie aging

Proseccco is a famous italian Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) produced in two regions: Veneto e Friuli Venezia Giulia, however, the production is mainly concentrated in the province of Treviso. These territories are characterized by plains with some hilly areas and temperate climate. Its Production regulation provides a minimum utilization of 85% of Glera grapes, a local white grape variety, and up to a maximum of 15% of other local and international varieties. Prosecco second fermentation takes place, according to the Charmat method, in autoclaves.

Irrigation and terroir: two opposite concepts? Point of view of international experts and french consumers

At long term, qualitative irrigation seems to be the most systematic, if not the best, cultural practice for dealing with climate change and yield increases without decrease grape quality.

L’évolution des Appellations d’Origine aux Etats-Unis

Un peu d’histoire pour nous efforcer de mettre le sujet des appellations dans un contexte général. Six cents ans avant Jésus-Christ, le Côte du Rhône était plantée en vignes peu après l’arrivée des Grecs

Unveiling the bioactive potential of aglianco grape pomace: oleanolic acid as a promising natural product

The winemaking industry generates a substantial amount of byproducts, including grape pomace, which is often discarded as waste. However, this seemingly useless material holds a wealth of bioactive compounds with potential health benefits. Recognizing the value of circular economy principles, this study delves into the comprehensive chemical analysis of aglianco grape pomace, aiming to transform this byproduct into a valuable resource.

From grapevines to extreme environments … and back?

I performed my PhD in grapevine physiology under the supervision of Dr. H. Medrano, standing in the vineyards from pre-dawn to sunrise during many hot, wet and sunny days with my colleagues J.M.E. and J.B. I also spent many days and nights facing ticks year-round working in Mediterranean macchias with J.Gu. and M.M. Later I was able to supervise PhD students on grapevines – like A.P. and M.T. – and on Mediterranean vegetation – like J.Gal. With the incorporation to the group of M.R.-C. ‘the puzzle’ was completed and, combining the aforementioned studies, we could conclude (more than 20 years ago) things like: (1) stomatal conductance is the best proxy for ‘water stress’ in studies on photosynthesis; (2) steady-state chlorophyll fluorescence retrieves photosynthesis under saturating light; (3) photoinhibition is not a major photosynthetic limitation under water stress; (4) mesophyll conductance instead is; and (5) mesophyll conductance is a major driver of leaf water use efficiency.

Identification of several glycosidic aroma precursors in six varieties of winemaking grapes and assessment of their aroma potential by acid hydrolysis

In winemaking grapes, it is known that most aroma compounds are present as non-volatile precursors, such as glycosidic precursors. In fact, there is strong evidence supporting the connection between the content of aroma precursors and the aromatic quality of wine [1]. Acid hydrolysis is preferred to reveal the aroma potential of winemaking grapes, as it predicts more accurately the chemical rearrangements occurring during fermentation in acidic environments [2]. In this study, a method involving a fast fermentation followed by acid hydrolysis at 75ºC was used to evaluate the accumulation of aroma compounds over time in fractions obtained from six different varieties of winemaking grapes.
