The Australian geographical indication process

Abstract

The first white settlers arrived in Australia in 1788 and brought grape vine cuttings with them. As migration to Australia continued to grow during the XIX Century more and more vine cuttings, viticulturists and winemakers from Britain, France, Germany, ltaly, Switzerland and Yugoslavia founded their businesses. Firstly, in the State of New South Wales (N.S.W.) and then in the States of South Australia (S.A.), Victoria (VIC), Western Australia (W.A.), Tasma­nia (TAS) and Queensland (Q’land).
Phylloxera and the 1914-18 and 1939-45 wars and their aftermaths curtailed the growth of viti and viniculture, but since the second half of the XX Century growth bas been quite rapid and has continued during the 1990s.

Œnococcus oeni is a wine-associated lactic acid bacterium performs the malolactic fermentation, which improves the taste and aromatic complexity of many wine.

Moving beyond visible flower counting: RGB image-based flower number and yield prediction in grapevine

Accurate yield estimation is crucial for optimizing vineyard management and logistical organization. Traditional methods relying on manual and destructive flower or berry counts are labor-intensive and unsuitable for large-scale applications.

X-ray tomography: a promising tool to assess the selection of good quality grafted vines

The production of grated vines is a complex process from grafting to final sorting in nurseries. To reach the market, grafted grapevines must meet three criteria by law in France: resistance to a manual graft union test (named thumb test), a minimum number of three roots and a woody shoot of at least 2 cm long.

Effect of two contrasting soils on grape and wine sensory characteristics in Shiraz

Aims: Berry composition and wine sensory characteristics reflect the origin of grape production and seasonal climatic conditions. The aim of this study was to compare berry and wine sensory characteristics from two contrasting soil types where the vineyard climate, geography, topography, vine and management factors were not different.
