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.

Swiss program for the creation of fungal disease resistant grape varieties in Switzerland

Grapevine breeding is part of the research program of Agroscope in Switzerland since 1965. From 1965 to 1995, the aim of the Vitis vinifera crosses was to obtain a high resistance to grey rot (Botrytis cinerea), one of the most virulent fungal pathogens in the Swiss vineyard. In 2021, the grape varieties released from this first breeding program covered 936 ha of the 15’000 ha of the Swiss vineyard.
In 1996, a second breeding program aimed at obtaining, by classical interspecific hybridization, grape varieties resistant to downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and powdery mildew (Erisyphe necator) and less sensitive to grey rot (Botrytis cinerea). In order to accelerate and make the selection process more reliable, an early biochemical test was developed based on the natural defense mechanisms of the vine against downy mildew (stilbene phytoalexins). The synthesis of stilbenes (i.e., resveratrol and its oxidized dimers - and -viniférine) and pterostilbenes (methylated derivative) is among the most efficient induced defense mechanisms of grapevine against fungal pathogens on both the leaves and the clusters.

Heatwaves impacts on grapevine physiology, berry chemistry & wine quality

Climate change impacts on both yields and quality have increased over the past decades, with the effects of extreme climate events having the most dramatic and obvious impacts. Increasing length and intensity of heatwaves associated with increased water stress necessitates a reevaluation of climate change responses of grapevine and, ultimately, a reconsideration of vineyard management practices under future conditions. Here we summarize results from a three-year field trial manipulating irrigation prior to and during heatwave events to assess impacts of water application rates on vine health and physiology, berry chemistry, and wine quality. We also highlight potential mitigation strategies for extreme heat, both in terms of water application, as well as other cultural practices that could be widely applicable.

Could intermittent shading, as produced in agrivoltaics, mitigate global warming effects on grapevine?

Global warning increases evaporative demand and accelerates grapevine phenology. As a consequence, the ripening phase shifts to warmer and drier periods. This results in lower acidity and higher sugar levels in berries, yielding too alcoholic wines with altered organoleptic properties. Agrivoltaics, which combines crop and renewable energy production on the same land using photovoltaic panels, emerged as a promising innovation to counteract these impacts by partially shading the plants.

Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry: a promising technology for the high throughput phenotyping of grape berry volatilome

Wine grapes breeding has been concentrating a lot of efforts within the grape research community over the last decade. The quick phenotyping of genotype quality traits including aroma composition remains challenging. Selected Ion Flow Tube Mass Spectrometry (SIFT-MS), a technology first available in 2008 and developing rapidly, could be particularly valuable for this usage. The aims of this study were i) to use SIFT-MS, to analyze the whole volatilome from different grape varieties, ii) to assess the ability of this technology to discriminate varieties according to their grape aroma composition, and iii) to study the stability of SIFT-MS signal over maturation to define a sampling strategy.

VITIGEOSS Business Service: Task scheduling optimization in vineyards

Agriculture plantations are complex systems whose performance critically depends on the execution of several types of tasks with precise timing and efficiency to respond to different external factors. This is particularly true for orchards like vineyards, which need to be strictly monitored and regulated, as they are sensitive to diverse types of pests, and climate conditions. In these environments, managing and optimally scheduling the available work force and resources is not trivial and is usually done by teams of senior managers based on their experience. In this regard, having a baseline schedule could help them in the decision process and improve their results, in terms of time and resources spent.
