Agronomic and oenological behavior of the minority Mandón variety on two rootstocks in the D.O. Arribes

Abstract

A large population of vines of the Mandón minority red variety (synonymous with Garró) has been located in old vineyards of the D.O. Arribes (Zamora and Salamanca) to conserve and recover this minority variety. The wines made with this variety are characterized by their good structure and color, interesting harmony, an excellently low pH, with high acidity, as well as complex aromas of blue fruits and a marked and expressive minerality.

 

The objective of this work is to know the agronomic and oenological suitability of the minority variety Mandón (Garró) on two rootstocks, 110-R and 3309-C in the DO Arribes. The study was carried out in the 2014-2019 period in a trial located in the town of Villarino de los Aires (Sa). The vines have been trained on a trellis, NNE-SSO orientation and bilateral Royat cordon formation. The plot soil, characteristic of the D.O. Arribes is slightly acidic, shallow, with a loamy-sandy texture and low in organic matter.

 

The results show that the vegetative development of Mandón on 110-R indicates that it is more vigorous than 3309-C, with a higher weight of pruning wood and vine shoots. In the trend of this vigor, the 110-R rootstock is slightly more productive than the 3309-C, showing a greater number of clusters per vine and higher yield, although with somewhat smaller berries. The berry quality parameters indicated that the 3309-C rootstock reaches a probable alcoholic degree and a total acidity higher than 110-R. The results reveal that the Mandón variety obtains a better adaptation and conjunction with the 110-R rootstock than with 3309-C, with a better behavior in slightly acid soil, showing overall better vegetative and productive balance with a berry good quality.

Exploring relationships among grapevine chemical and physiological parameters and mycobiome composition under drought stress

Improving our knowledge on biotic and abiotic factors that influence the composition of the grapevine mycobiome is of great agricultural significance, due to potential effects on plant health, productivity, and wine characteristics. Among the various environmental factors affecting the morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular attributes of grapevine, drought stress is one of the most severe, becoming increasingly an issue worldwide.

Effect of irrigation in cover cropping vineyards

Cover cropping in vineyard is a sustainable and alternative soil management system to conventional tillage that is gaining more and more importance among winegrowers and is being promoted, among other organizations, by the European Union through the eco-schemes of the Common Agricultural Policy.
However, the use of cover crops in Mediterranean viticultural environments is conditioned, to a large extent, by the availability of irrigation water which, in a context of global warming like the one we are experiencing, must be adjusted to savings strategies, supplying to the vine only what it needs in each moment.

Integrative study of Vitis biodiversity for next-generation breeding of grapevine rootstocks 

Drought is one of the main challenges for viticulture in the context of global change. The choice of rootstock could be leveraged for vineyard adaptation to drought as we can improve plant performance without modifying the scion variety. However, most of the existing rootstocks, selected over a century ago, have a narrow genetic background which could compromise their adaptive potential.

Oxidability of wines made from Spanish minority grape varieties

The phenolic profile of a wine plays an essential role in its oxidative capacity and in both white and red wines it defines its shelf life[1]. The study of minority varieties to produce wines with peculiar characteristics necessarily includes the phenolic and oxidative characterization of the wines produced. This paper presents the study of wines made from 24 minority and majority white and red grape varieties, focusing on phenolic characteristics (total phenols, slightly polymerized phenols, highly polymerized phenols, anthocyanins…), color, as well as parameters related to the oxidability of the wines and their capacity to consume oxygen [2].

Combined use of leaf removal and natural shading to delay grape ripening in Manto negro (Vitis vinifera L.) under deficit irrigation 

The increasingly frequent heat waves during grape ripening pose challenges for premium wine grape production. This makes the development of irrigation and canopy management techniques of great importance to maximize yield and grape quality. A field experiment was carried out during 2021 and 2022 using Manto negro wine grapes to study the effect of two irrigation strategies and different light exposure levels on grape quality.
