La Région Délimitée du Douro et le Vin de Porto — un terroir historique —

Abstract

La viticulture de la Région Délimitée du Douro, une des héritières de la viticulture ancestrale, traditionnellement empirique et de qualité, tout en intégrant la modernité et les outils contemporains, respecte et a toujours présent les principes sur lesquels elle s’est développé.

Commes les a très bien définit M.Champagnol :
1. La nécessité de réserver les meilleures terres pour les céréales destinés à la nourriture humaine ;
2. La production de moûts riches en sucre afin de contourner le problème de la mauvaise conservation des vins peu alcoolisés ;
3. Les petits récipients vinaires qui imposaient une vinification en petit volume, et qui ont permis d’établir des corrélations entre les parcelles et le vin,
sont quelques facteurs qui ont orienté cette viticulture vers un objectif de qualité.
Ce chemin de la qualité – qui conceme l’authenticité du vin et, Évidemment, la garantie donnée au consommateur, qui est le dernier juge de la qualité -, est un long chemin que l’on poursuit depuis presque 300 ans dans la Région Délimité du Douro.

The adaptation and resilience of scions and rootstocks to water constraint

The ability of grapevine cultivars and rootstocks to cope with and adapt to recurring water constraints is the focus of this study. The contribution of intrinsic (epigenetic) and extrinsic (rootzone microbial community) factors to water stress resilience will be discussed. The study was conducted in a validated model vineyard where three scion cultivars (Pinotage, Shiraz, and Cabernet Sauvignon) on two rootstocks (Richter 110 and USVIT8-7) grow under recurring seasonal water constraint (and control) scenarios since planting (in 2020). Comprehensive profiling of the site, soil, atmospheric conditions, plants, and their physiological responses provide contextual data for the analyses conducted.

Metabolic fingerprinting and qualitative attributes of two indigenous Cypriot cultivars destined for the production of ‘commandaria’: the impact of leaf removal and dehydration process

Grapes’ sun-drying is one of the most critical steps in the production of ‘Commandaria’, a dessert wine with Protected Designation of Origin that is exclusively produced in Cyprus from grapes of the two indigenous cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.), namely ‘Mavro’ and ‘Xynisteri’. Despite its significant economic importance, no data regarding the primary and secondary metabolites of the aforementioned cultivars exist.

Basic Terroir Unit (U.T.B.) and quality control label for honey; making the designations of origin (A.O.C) and« crus » more coherent

Considérant d’une part la judicieuse mise au point d’un label de qualité contrôlée des miels suisses (STÖCKLI et al. 1997), considérant d’autre part l’élaboration d’une carte des paysages végétaux (HEGG et al. 1993),

Ampelograpic and genetic characterisation of grapevine genetic resources from Ozalj-Vivodina region (Croatia)

Ozalj- vivodina region is small vine growing area (only about 100 hectares of vineyards), but with significant number of old, ancient vineyards planted between 50 and 100 years ago. Trend of abandoning or replanting ancient vineyards takes place for the last 30 years. This trend results in grapevine germplasm erosion because traditional varieties are replaced with well known international varieties.Few known traditional varieties are dominantly present in ancient vineyards together with many others of unknown identity. Historical data about prevalence and characteristic of varieties on this area are very poor.

Tuning the pH during the fermentation has a strong effect on the wine protein composition and the stability of the resulting white wines

Previous results have shown the impact of the pH on the stability of white wine proteins. In a context of global warming that implies increases in ethanol content and pH
