«Aztec» – the new white table grape resistant variety

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – This paper presents is the create, the study and amplographic description the new white Greek table variety grapes “Aztec”, created in 2013 by breeder P. Zamanidis at the Athens vineyard of the Institute of Olive, Subtropical Plants and Vine.

Material and methods – The variety created by crossing with the method of hybridization of the variety “Talisman” with the newly Greek variety “Ipirotis”. “Aztec” is a cross-breeding between American, European grapevine species and Far East varieties (V. Amurensis).

Results – The duration of the “Aztec” variety from budburst to maturity is146-155 days. The variety is very strong with large shoots growth(2,1 – 3,0 m). The growth of shoots is higher over 95%. The flowers are morphologically and physiologically hermaphrodite. The yield is moderate (30-40t grapes / ha). The size of the cluster is large with a length of 26 cm and a width 15 cm, the shape is conical, medium density. The length of the peduncle of the grape is 6 cm and the length of the peduncle of the berry is 0.9 cm. The average weight of the cluster is 600gr. The size of the berry is large,sort elliptical in shape, the berry is 25 mm long and 20 mm wide with weight 7 g, and green color. The number of seeds is 1-2 per berry. The skin is of thick and high strength. The flesh is without color with aromaticlight flavor Labrusca. The content of sugar in must is greater than 240 g /l. It has high resistance to fungal diseases, insects, high resistance to low temperatures, high resistance to drought and tolerant in Phylloxera.. The « Aztec » variety is suitable for table grape and tsipouro productionin areas withvery humidity.
Can be used as a resistance donor, in fungal diseases, low temperature andinsects, in the genetic improvement of vitisvenifera varieties.

Perceptions of livestock integration in South African vineyards

Context and purpose of the study. Conventional viticulture relies heavily on synthetic inputs (fertilizers, pesticides), as well as mechanization to manage pests, weeds, and diseases and maximize yields.

Elucidating white wines peptides: An analytical breaktrough

The chemistry of wine is particularly complex due to biochemical and chemical interactions that significantly modify its organoleptic characteristics and stability over time. Aging on lees is a well-known practice during which various compounds are released, ensuring wines oxidative stability and its overall sensory quality [1,2].

Au Brésil, 80 % du vignoble national et 90 % du vignoble de l’État du Rio Grande do Sul (principale région productrice de vins dans le pays) sont plantés avec des cépages issus de vitis labrusca ou de cépages hybrides (DEBASTIANI, 2015). Une partie de cette production est utilisée pour la préparation de jus de raisin et de concentrés de moût ou de pulpe de raisin. Le restant est consacré à

The effect of cropload on the volatile aroma characteristics of ‘Beihong’ and ‘Beimei’ red wine

Beihong and Beimei were bred as winemaking cultivars released by Institute of Botany, the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2008. The cultivars are selected from the population of ‘Muscat Hamburg’ (Vitis vinifera) ×V. amurensis. They are extended to most provinces in North of China because they have strong resistance to cold and disease and need not be buried in soil in winter. To better understand the effect of cropload on volatile compounds during wine-making, we surveyed volatiles composition and content of different cropload level in 3-years-old ‘Beihong’ and ‘Beimei’ vines which planted in east foot of Helan mountain of Ningxia (EHN).

Volatile compounds of base wines for the production of Lessini Durello sparkling wine

AIM Durello is a sparkling wine produced in the Lessini mountains near Verona. The wine is made from Durella grapes, a native white grape variety with a particularly high acidity. In spite of the small production area (375 ha for only 35 producers), there is a growing interest in this product. However, little is known about the aromatic profiles of these wines. The aim of this work was to characterize the aroma profile of Durella base wines suitable for the production of Lessini Durello sparkling wine. METHODS 14 base wines from Durella grapesfrom different producers were used for this study. Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) and Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) sampling techniques coupled to GC-MS analysis allowed to identify and quantify a total of 62 volatile compounds. RESULTS Durello base wines showed relatively high levels of vitispirane, ß-damascenone, ß-citronellol and esters.
