Influence of climate change conditions (elevated CO2 and temperature) on the grape composition of five tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) Somatic variants

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study ‐ The current levels of greenhouse gas emissions are expecting to provoke a change on the environmental conditions which, among others, will include a rise of global mean surface temperature and an increment of atmospheric CO2 levels (IPCC, 2014), known as climate change. The response of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), one of the most important crops in Europe, from both a cultural and economic point of view, is not completely understood yet and the studies considering the interaction between factors are scarce. Besides, the potential variety of responses among somatic variants needs to be studied in order to be exploited in the avoidance of undesired traits linked to climate change (Carbonell‐Bejerano et al., 2015).

Material and methods ‐ The objective was to determine the impact of an increment of atmospheric CO2 and temperature (both acting independently and combined) on the grape composition of five somatic variants of Tempranillo (CL306, T3, RJ43, 1084 and VN31). Fruit‐bearing cuttings were grown from fruit‐set to maturity (around 22ºBrix) in temperature gradient greenhouses under two temperature regimes (ambient temperature and ambient temperature + 4ºC) in combination with two CO2 levels (400 ppm and 700 ppm).

Results ‐ The evolution of sugars (glucose and fructose) and malic acid, as well as the final levels of anthocyanins and the relation of anthocyanins and sugars indicate that grape ripening will be affected by climate change in different manner among somatic variants. High temperatures increased the degradation of malic acid and raised the accumulation of sugars, meanwhile CO2 levels also promoted the degradation of malic acid especially at maturity. Somatic variants showed differences in the anthocyanin levels at maturity. Total anthocyanins were not dramatically affected by the temperature and CO2 levels assayed. The CL306 and T3 somatic variants were identified as potential candidates for the adaptation of cv. Tempranillo to climate change.

is the overall ecological awarness among Spanish winemakers related to their attitudes towards natural wines?

The Agenda 2030 of the EU sets out the main guidelines for transitioning towards a resilient, green and safe economy. To this regard, the wine sector is experiencing an ecological transition in different ways such as increasing the production of ecological crops, or promoting the production of wines under more environmental-friendly and healthier (i.e., lower levels of SO2) products. These alternatives to conventional production are a smaller proportion of wines, in constant growth and demand, and follow alternative and minority practices, which range from sustainable to deeply philosophical thoughts. Among these methods there are organic, biodynamic and, more recently, natural wines.

A survey on the rotundone content of 18 grape varieties sourced from a germplasm 

Rotundone, the pepper aroma compound, has been detected in wines made from a large number of grape varieties. However, given the fact that analyzed wines were sourced from different winegrowing regions and seasons, made using different winemaking techniques and at different scales, it remains difficult to assess the real variety potential to produce rotundone.

Paysages viticoles et terroir dans l’OAC Ribeira Sacra (Galice, NO de l’Espagne)

The concept of Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) is based on the existence of a link between the characteristics of the terroir and the quality and typicality of the production (DELAS, 2000). If for a long time, this link only appeared as the fruit of empiricism, the research undertaken recently has made it possible to scientifically establish the complex relationships between the functioning of natural environments and the ability to produce quality.

Foliar application of urea improved the nitrogen composition of Chenin grapes

The nitrogen composition of the grapes directly affects the developments of alcoholic fermentation and influences the final aromatic composition of the wines. The aim of this study was to determine the effect and efficiency of foliar applications of urea on the nitrogen composition of grapes. This study was carried out during 2023 vintage and in the Chenin vineyard located in Estacion Experimental Mendoza (Argentina). Three urea concentrations 3, 6 and 9 Kg N/ha (C1, C2, and C3, respectively) and control (T) were applied in this vineyard at veraison. In all solutions were added 1ml/l of Tween 80 ® surfactant.
