Revisión de estudios sobre suelos vitícolas de las tierras del Jerez

Abstract

Dada la importancia de los suelos y de los substratos geológicos en la zonificación vitivinícola, los autores realizan una revisión de estudios sobre las formaciones más importantes en la D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry y Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
En el concepto de Pago vitícola (PEMARTÍN, 1965; Paneque et al., 1996 a, b, c; González GordOn, 1990; García de LujÁn, 1997) se destaca la singularidad del tipo o clase de suelo, subsuelo y substrato geológico que, conjuntamente con otras circunstancias ambientales, participan e intervienen en su delimitación (Suter y Palacios, 1857), caracterización y funcionamiento (Carbonel y BRAVO, 1820; EchegarAy, 1852; BARBADILLO, 1996).
El marco o región del Jerez y de la Manzanilla representa una de las regiones vitinícolas más antiguas de la Península Ibérica (Sáez fernández, 1995; Hidalgo, 1999). Los suelos citados por Columela como más importantes para el cultivo de la vid (cretosi, sabulosi y palustres) tienen distinta importancia en la calidad del viñedo y del vino, como se manifiesta por algunos autores citados, y especialmente por Boutelou (1807), Fernández Bobadilla (1949), García del Barrio (1972, 1979, 1988) y García de LujÁn (1997). Suelos calizos, silíceos y otros se citan en el Estudio Agrobiológico de la Provincia de Cádiz (CEBAC, 1963) y en el Mapa del INIA (1971), con la descripción morfológica de sus horizontes, la situación en el terreno y la caracterización analítica de los mismos, etc. Sin duda alguna, distintos Calcisols (CL), Cambisols (CB), Vertisols (VR), Leptosols (LP) y otros Grupos de suelos (ISRIC, ISSS, FAO, 1998); y lustrillos, polvillejos y barros rojos sobre albarizas (García del Barrio, 1979) y otros tipos de rocas (GAVALA laborde, 1959; IGME, 1977, 1988), muestran la diversidad de formaciones edafogeológicas en el viñedo del Jerez.

High-throughput screening of physical-mechanical berry skin traits facilitates targeted selection of breeding material with resistance to Botrytis bunch rot and grape sunburn

The ongoing climate change implies an increasing mean air temperature, which is signified by weather extremes or sudden changes between drought and local heavy rainfalls. These changing conditions are especially challenging for the established grapevine varieties growing under cool climate conditions due to an increased risk for fungal diseases like downy mildew (DM) and Botrytis bunch rot (BBR) as well as for grape sunburn. To meet that demand, the scope of most grapevine breeding programs is the selection of mildew fungus-resistant and climatic adapted grapevines with balanced, healthy yield and outstanding wine quality.

Methoxypyrazine concentrations in grape-bunch rachis are influenced by rootstock, region, light, and scion.

Methoxypyrazines (MPs) are readily extracted from grape berry and rachis during fermentation and can impart “green” and “herbaceous” sensory attributes to wine. Irrespective of whether MPs, including 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IBMP), 3-isopropyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IPMP), and 3-sec-butyl-2-methoxypyrazine (SBMP), are extracted from berry or other vine material, techniques for remediation of wine with overpowering sensory characters attributable to MPs suffer from poor specificity or produce undesirable sensory outcomes, meaning that alternative control approaches are needed.

Vinhos de talha: to pitch or not to pitch

In Alentejo, south of Portugal there is a traditional way of fermenting wines in clay vessels, known as “Vinhos de Talha”. Clay vessels were traditionally impermeabilized using pine pitch, creating a barrier between the fermenting must and the clay. Due to this unusual production technology that uses of clay vessels, instead of inox or wood vessels, “Vinhos de Talha” present unique characteristics increasingly appreciated by national and international consumers when compared with wine obtained by the said traditional methods of winemaking. Although the positive consumers feedback, there is little literature about the physical-chemical characteristics of these wines (Martins et al, 2018; Cabrita et al, 2018). This work aims to characterize the volatile composition of white wines produced in clay vessels with different coatings and to contribute to the knowledge and preservation of these wines that are a unique cultural heritage. Wine samples were produced during 2019 vintage from white grapes, using the traditional technology associated to these wines.

Effect of post-harvest ozone treatment on secondary metabolites biosynthesis and accumulation in grapes and wine

The actual demand by consumers for safer and healthier food and beverage is pushing the wine sector to find alternative methods to avoid the use of sulphur dioxide in winemaking. Ozone is already used in the wine industry to produce sulphur dioxide-free wines through the patented method Purovino®.

Reduction of herbaceous aromas by wine lactic acid bacteria mediated degradation of volatile aldehydes

Consumers typically prefer wines with floral and fruity aromas over those presenting green-pepper, vegetal or herbaceous notes. Pyrazines have been identified as causatives for herbaceous notes in wines, especially Bordeaux reds. However, pyrazines are not universally responsible for herbaceousness, and several other wine volatile compounds are known to produce distinct vegetal/herbaceous aromas in wines. Specifically, volatile aldehydes elicit sensations of herbaceousness or grassiness and have been described in wines well above their perception thresholds.
