Efecto de la cota sobre el potencial enológico de tres varietales tintos en el sur de Tenerife

Abstract

La zona sur de la Isla de Tenerife elabora principalmente vinos blancos. Desde hace unos años se intenta elaborar mayor cantidad de vinos tintos, siendo los resultados obtenidos variables en función de la variedad empleada y de la cota de procedencia. En este estudio se ha pretendido estudiar la influencia de la cota del viñedo en tres variedades, la Listán negro, la Negramoll y la Rubí Cabernet. Para ello se han elegido dos fincas pertenecientes a la Denominación de Origen Valle de Güimar, situadas a dos cotas de altura diferenciadas, una en zona de medianía y otra más baja, y en las que las características del suelo y sistemas de cultivo son similares, atribuyéndose las diferencias obtenidas principalmente, al carácter varietal y a la altura. Se ha hecho un seguimiento en maduración durante dos años, con lotes triplicados, determinándose: pH, acidez total, grados brix, potasio, ácido málico, ácido tartárico, polifenoles totales, antocianos y antocianos totales. Posteriormente, se tomaron muestras de los vinos elaborados por separado en las dos cotas, determinándoseles la materia colorante obtenida. La aplicación de un análisis de la varianza, nos ha permitido obtener diferencias significaticas entre las variedades y las cotas. A mayor cota de altura y a igualdad de grados brix, se ha obtenido mayor contenido en antocianos y polifenoles, así como una mayor cantidad de ácido málico. A igualdad de fechas, el grado brix acumulado fue superior en la parcela situada a mayor altura. En cuanto a la comparación entre varietales, el potencial cromático de la Rubí Cabernet fue superior al de la Listán negro y la Negramoll.

Switch genes as a key to understand the grapevine ripening disorder berry Shrivel?

The ripening of grapevine berries encompasses complex morphological and physiological processes, especially at veraison. Berry shrivel (BS) is a ripening physiological disorder affecting grape berries with visible symptoms appearing short after veraison. The main symptoms of BS are a strong reduction in sugar accumulation, inhibited anthocyanin biosynthesis and high pH values. The most popular red grape cultivar in Austria “Blauer Zweigelt” (Vitis vinifera L.) is specifically prone to develop the BS ripening disorder and up to date a no specific cause or causes could be identified. Recently omics approaches have identified and characterized key processes during grapevine ripening. Among them a small subset of genes, called SWITCH, have been described as markers for the onset of the ripening process in fruits.

Adaptation to soil and climate through the choice of plant material

Choosing the rootstock, the scion variety and the training system best suited to the local soil and climate are the key elements for an economically sustainable production of wine. The choice of the rootstock/scion variety best adapted to the characteristics of the soil is essential but, by changing climatic conditions, ongoing climate change disrupts the fine-tuned local equilibrium. Higher temperatures induce shifts in developmental stages, with on the one hand increasing fears of spring frost damages and, on the other hand, ripening during the warmest periods in summer. Expected higher water demand and longer and more frequent drought events are also major concerns. The genetic control of the phenotypes, by genomic information but also by the epigenetic control of gene expression, offers a lot of opportunities for adapting the plant material to the future. For complex traits, genomic selection is also a promising method for predicting phenotypes. However, ecophysiological modelling is necessary to better anticipate the phenotypes in unexplored climatic conditions Genetic approaches applied on parameters of ecophysiological models rather than raw observed data are more than ever the basis for finding, or building, the ideal varieties of the future.

Measurements of the oxygen dissolved in white wines elaborated in barrels without to open the bung of the barrels

Bases on oxoluminescence, we have developed an innovative device for measuring dissolved oxygen in wines in barrels without opening the bung. This system is directly inserted into the wood during the barrel elaboration and can be positioned at different locations of the barrel (the head, the hull …). During two successive vintages we have used this device notably to follow the oxygen dissolved of whites wines elaborated in barrels. This allowed us initially to monitor the oxygen levels of the harvest to bottling the whole elaboration process in barrels of white wines without using techniques of measurement suitable to modify the real values in wines (opening the bung to plunge an oximeter).

The start of Croatian grapevine breeding program

Modern viticulture in Croatia and the world is mainly based on the grapevine varieties susceptible to various diseases and pests, which leads to unsustainable use of large amounts of pesticides. The sustainable development of viticulture in the future will only be possible by increasing the resistance of the grapevine through the development of new resistant varieties. Breeding programs have been launched in the leading wine-growing countries with the aim of developing resistant varieties possessing high quality level. Coratia is rich in in native grapevine varieties that are the basis of wine production, and are not included in the breeding programs of other countries.
