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.

Intelligent use of ethanol for the direct quantitative determination of volatile compounds in spirit drinks

The quality of any alcoholic beverage depends on many parameters, such as cultivars, harvesting time, fermentation, distillation technology used, quality and type of wooden barrels (in case of matured drinks), etc.; however, the most important factor in their classification is content of volatile compounds.

This paper investigates sustainability in European wineries. The growing body of literature on the subject of sustainability underlines the increasing attention on the environmental and social impacts of intensive and irresponsible wine production.

Characterization of Glycosidically Bound Aroma Compounds of País cv. grapes of different Chilean zones

País grape has been estimated to arrive to Chile almost 500 years ago, being the first strain grown in this country. Traditionally, this grape has been used to mix with other varieties, to produce poor quality wines, but today is beginning to be used in the production of high quality wines. However, very little is known about the chemical characteristics of this variety. The aroma is one of the most important quality attributes of wine. Volatile compounds of this beverage may come from the grape (varietal aromas), from the fermentation process, from the ageing. The aromatic compounds are found in the grape in two forms: as free volatile compounds and as non-volatile compounds. The last ones, are aroma precursors present mainly as glycoconjugates formed by a sugar and an aglycone…

INFLUENCE OF THE THICKNESS OF OAK ALTERNATIVES ON THE COMPOSITION AND QUALITY OF RED WINES

Aging red wines in oak barrels is an expensive and laborious process that can only be applied to wines with a certain added value. For this reason, the use of oak alternatives coupled with micro-oxygenation has progressively increased over recent years, because it can reproduce the processes taking place in the barrels more economically and quickly [1]. Several studies have explored how oak alternatives [2-5] can contribute to wine composition and quality but little is known about the influence of their thickness.
