Characteristics of ecological production of grape and wine in Prizren’s vineyard territory in Yugoslavia

Abstract

Prizren’s vineyard territory-y assigned for ecological production of grapes and wine includes 1. 200 hectares of vineyard located in five separate localities which belongs to the P KB “Kosovo vina”, Mala Krusa in Prizren. Division of vineyard territory in zones was carried out in 1974. Pertaining to the vineyards, the climate and soil conditions have been studied and determined as well as topographie establishing of vineyard boundaries. Zoning determined the vine varieties intended for production of all quality categories of wine with controlled geographical origin. Ecological production of grapes and wine started in 1992. Ecological production of grapes includes several procedures among which the most important once are as follows. mechanical weed control. Herbicides are completely excluded. Synthetic mineral fertilisers are also excluded. Among organic fertilisers rain~worm humus based substrate is used. Foliar fertilisers with synthetic fertiliser content are also out of use. Vitastemin is the only natural stimulant in use of fongicides, only those recommended for Ecological production are used. Synthetic insecticides are not in use.
Ecological production includes procedures and materials permitted and recommended by the EU Bottled wines have “Eco wine” written on their labels. Cellar capacities for wine production are 28.000 tons.

Correspondence between physiological plant variables and carbon isotope composition in different climate winegrape regions

The climate is the environmental factor that contributes with greater weight in the variability of the yield and the composition of the grape, therefore, it is key in the determination of the typicity of the product. Of the environmental factors, the evolution of water availability conditions, among other things, the biochemical evolution of the compounds of the grape and the type of wine to be elaborated. An integrating parameter of the hydric state of the plant is the carbon isotopic composition (δ13C). This indicator is a useful parameter to characterize the water status during the maturation period and estimate the transpiration efficiency or water use efficiency (EUA) in the vine.

SENSORY IMPROVEMENT OF DEALCOHOLISED WINES

Interest and willing-ness to buy alcohol-free wines by customers is increasing for several years [1]. Due to the rising relevance of dealcoholised wines it is the objective of this study to contribute to a better understanding of the flavor variation among dealcoholised wines and to explore enological measures, how to improve final quality.
First a range of commercial, alcoholfree white wines were analysed by the holistic sensory method projective mapping, including a question for hedonic acceptance. Based on the combination of a non-target-HS-SPME-GC/MS analysis with sensory analysis we obtained a clustering of the wines into three groups.

Impact of harvest date on the terroir expression and the aroma profile of Touraine Sauvignon wines

L’objectif d’une étude sur trois années vise, pour des terroirs différents et connus pour le profil des vins qui en sont issus, à exploiter au mieux le potentiel des raisins en optimisant la date de récolte ; pour chacun des trois terroirs, les minivinifications sont réalisées à partir de trois dates de récolte . Il s’avère, grâce à un suivi analytique important (sol, précurseurs et arômes) et une caractérisation organoleptique bien encadrée (analyse sensorielle pertinente et objective), que le choix de la date de récolte, en fonction du terroir, a une incidence sur le profil du vin et devient un outil pour l’élaborateur.

A geologic numeric mapping, with geophysic transects, of Marsannay’s vineyard (Burgundy, France)

Marsannay est l’appellation la plus septentrionale de la Côte de Nuits, à la limite Sud de Dijon. Elle regroupe trois villages, Chenôve, Marsannay-la-Côte et Couchey, et constitue l’appellation la plus vaste de la Côte de Nuits avec 315 hectares en A.O.C. Elle possède uniquement des niveaux d’appellations régionales et communales depuis 1987.
