Facteurs physiques et biologiques affectant la production viticole et vinicole de la région avec dénomination d’origine “Condado de Huelva” (SW d’Espagne)

Une approche très simple de la lecture des paysages est proposée sur la base de l’expérience acquise par l’observation de divers terroirs du monde.

The objective of this study is to assess the potential for integrating sustainability guidelines into Geographical Indications of wine, especially in the case of the Denomination of Origin Campos de Cima da Serra (CCS), Brazil.

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.

The evaluation of new grapevine genotypes regarding their potential to produce high quality wines is the time limiting factor in the process of grapevine breeding. Hence, the development of quality-related markers useable in marker-assisted selection (MAS) as well as in prediction models for this bottleneck trait will tremendously enhance breeding efficiency. In extensive studies a training set of a segregating white wine F1 population (150 F1 genotypes = POP150; `Calardis Musqué´ x `Villard Blanc´) was deeply phenotyped and genotyped for model development and QTL analysis.

Temperature fluctuations can significantly affect the chemical composition of wine and in turn its taste and aromas.
