Adaptation et expression de l’encépagement et mode de conduite en différents terroirs de la région du Douro/vin de Porto

Abstract

Ce travail a pour objet l’analyse des résultats agronomiques obtenus sur trois unités expérimentales du Centre d’Etudes Vitivinicoles du Douro (CEVDouro), localisées dans des écosystèmes différenciés de la Région du Douro/Vin de Porto, à différentes altitudes (130, 330 et 520 mètres) et à des expositions diversifiées (SE, N et W).

Sur deux de ces unités expérimentales on a évalué le comportement du cépage Touriga Francesa sur huit porte-greffes, à partir des enregistrements obtenus au cours de dix années d’observations. La troisième unité d’expérimentation à servi à l’étude du comportement préliminaire (phase de formation), sur un seul porte-greffe (11 OR) et sur six différentes modalités de conduite (trois hauteurs de plan de végétation et deux hauteurs de formation).

Les résultats des expériences montrent une forte influence de l’altitude, aussi bien que de l’exposition, dans les niveaux de sucre.
Cet exposé tente de faire une analyse globale en présentant la méthode de zonage suivie depuis 1948 dans la Région du Douro/Vin de Porto (Método de Pontuação Moreira da Fonseca), l’importance relative et l’amplitude de variation des facteurs pris en compte dans cette méthode, pour le classement des 100 mille parcelles de vigne qui composent la région.

Free and bound terpene profile of recovered minority white grape varieties by GC × GC-TOFMS

Climate change presents a significant challenge for actual viticulture. In this context, recovering minority grape varieties can be a crucial strategy to ensure resilience, particularly those capable of maintaining quality and aromatic complexity under water stress.

How do KOCs influence wine consumers’ decisions? Based on NLP analysis and questionnaire surveys on Xiaohongshu

Analytical and Chemometric Investigation of Phenolic Content of South African Red Wines

Phenolic compounds have been the focus of a lot of research in recent years for their important contribution to sensory characteristics of wine, their beneficial health effects, as well as the possibility they offer of characterising wines. In this contribution, a method is developed that allows the direct injection of wine samples followed by liquid

Current climate change in the Oplenac wine-growing district (Serbia)

Serbian autochthonous vine varieties Smederevka (for white wines) and Prokupac (for rosé and red wines) are the primary representatives of typical characteristics of wines and terroir of numerous wine-growing areas in Serbia. In the past, these varieties were the leading vine varieties, however, as the result of globalization of winemaking and the trend of consumption of wines from widely prevalent vine varieties, they were replaced by introduced international varieties. Smederevka and Prokupac vine varieties are characterized by later time of grape ripening, and relative sensitivity to low temperatures. Climate conditions can be a restrictive factor for production of high-quality grapes and wine and for the spatial spreading of these varieties in hilly continental wine-growing areas.
This paper focuses on the spatial analysis of changes of main climate parameters, in particular, analysis of viticultural bioclimatic indices that were determined for the purposes of viticulture zoning of wine-growing areas in the period 1961-2010, and those same parameters determined for the current, that is, referential climate period (1988-2017). Results of the research, that is, analysis of climate changes indicate that the majority of examined climate parameters in the Oplenac wine-growing district improved from the perspective of Smederevka and Prokupac vine varieties. These studies of climate conditions indicate that changes of analyzed climate parameters, that is, bioclimatic indices will be favorable for cultivation of varieties with later grape ripening times and those more sensitive to low temperatures, such as the autochthonous vine varieties Smederevka and Prokupac, therefore, it is recommended to producers to more actively plant vineyards with these varieties in the territory of the Oplenac wine-growing district.

Comparison between non-Saccharomyces yeasts for the production of Nero d’Avola wine

Wine production with non-Saccharomyces yeasts is getting larger application due to the positive impact of these yeasts on wine composition. Previous studies showed notably differences in chemical composition of Merlot wines obtained with Torulaspora delbrueckii.
