Efectos del deshojado y de su combinación con el aclareo de Racimos en los componentes básicos de la producción y del Mosto, sobre cv. Tempranillo en la D.O. Ribera del Duero

Abstract

[English version below]

Las técnicas de manejo del canopy de la vid pueden favorecer la adaptación de los sistemas de conducción a diversas condiciones de cultivo para obtener uva de calidad. Con este objetivo se desarrolló a lo largo de 3 años un ensayo en secano con la variedad Tempranillo conducida en espaldera, en la región vitivinícola de Denominación de Origen Ribera del Duero (España).
Se estudiaron los efectos del deshojado basal (aplicado en la fase de maduración, una vez pasado el envero), suprimiendo unas 4 hojas de la base de los pámpanos, y de su combinación con el aclareo de racimos (suprimiendo el 35 % de los racimos existentes en la cepa en el momento del envero) en el rendimiento, en el desarrollo vegetativo y en la composición del mosto.
Se ha observado que la combinación del aclareo con el deshojado redujo el rendimiento final en uva sólo un 20%, debido a la compensación producida por el aumento del peso de la baya. Dicho tratamiento presentó una tendencia a incrementar ligeramente el peso de madera de poda.
La concentración de azúcares en el mosto puede verse beneficiada por el deshojado basal, pero su combinación con el aclareo de racimos mostró un efecto muy claro a aumentar el grado alcohólico probable del mosto. La acidez total puede ser reducida por el deshojado, pero sobre todo cuando se practica junto con el aclareo de racimos.
En general, los efectos del aclareo de racimos en el envero combinado con el deshojado favorecen la evolución de la maduración, a costa de una reducción del rendimiento en uva, mientras que los efectos del deshojado simple en la variedad Tempranillo, a través de una reducción de los ácidos, dependen de las condiciones ambientales anuales en zonas como la D.O. Ribera del Duero.

The techniques of grapevine canopy management can help the training systems to become adapted to different growth conditions in order to improve the quality of the grapes. Focused on this objective, a trial was carried out over 3 years in the A.O. Ribera del Duero with the variety Tempranillo grown under non-irrigation conditions and trained as a vertical trellis system.
We have studied the effects of the basal leaf removal (in the ripening period, after veraison), taking out 4 leaves from the base of shoots, and of its combination with the cluster thinning (removing 35 %of vine clusters at veraison) in yield, vegetative development and must composition.
It was observed that the combination of cluster thinning and leaf removal reduced the final yield by only 20 %, due to the compensation caused by the increase of berry weight. This treatment showed a tendency to lightly increase the pruning weight.
Sugar concentration can be increased by the basal leaf removal, but the combination with the cluster thinning exhibited a clear effect to increase the probable alcoholic degree. Total acidity can be reduced by leaf removal, but basically in combination with cluster thinning.

Effect of riboflavin on the longevity of white and rosé wines

Light is a fundamental part at sales points which influences in the conservation of wines, particularly in those that are sold in transparent glass bottles such as rosé wines and increasingly white wines. The photochemical effect known as “light-struck taste” can cause changes in the aromatic characteristics of the wine. This “light-struck taste” is due to reactions triggered by the photochemical sensitivity of riboflavin (RBF).

Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization (UHPH): a technique that allows the reduction of SO2 in winemaking

Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization (UHPH) is an innovative, efficient and non-thermal technology that can be applied at different stages in winemaking in order to reduce or avoid the use of sulphites. During 2022 vintage, a batch of Xarel·lo must was processed by UHPH at 300 MPa with an inlet temperature (Ti) of 4 ºC. In order to verify the influence of the UHPH treatment in wine characteristics, alcoholic fermentations with this must (UHPH) were carried out and compared with a control batch (without SO2 addition (C)) and a sulphited batch, in which 60 mg/L of total SO2 (SO2) were added.

Modélisation du régime thermique des sols de vignoble du Val de Loire : relations avec des variables utilisables pour la caractérisation des terroirs

Temperature has a decisive influence on the growth and development of plants (Carbonneau et al., 1992). In particular, in the case of the vine, the temperature is an omnipresent variable in the climatic indices (Huglin, 1986). For reasons of convenience, these indices use the temperature of the air measured under shelter in a meteorological station, making the implicit hypothesis of a concordance between this temperature and that of the sites of perception of the thermal stimulus by the plant. However, development may be more dependent on soil temperature than air temperature (Kliewer, 1975). Morlat (1989) thus verified that the variability in the precocity of the vine, positively correlated with the quality of the harvest and of the wine in the Loire Valley, was mainly explained by differences in temperature of the root zones.

The weak role of organic mulches in shaping bacterial communities in grapevine

The interest in sustainable and ecologic agricultural practices in grapevine has grown significantly in recent years in the context of ecological transition. Organic mulches are treatments that support the circular economy and positively affect the soil and the plant. They are an alternative to herbicides and other conventional practices since they may influence soil moisture, erosion, structure and weed control. However, their effects on the soil and must microbiota remain unknown.
