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.

Overall conceptual characterization of aged dry white wines using a mental descriptive questionnaire

The purpose of the present study was to understand the overall concept of an aged dry white wine using a descriptive mental questionnaire. A total of 680 worldwide participants, grouped according to their involvement in the wine business, replied to an online questionnaire to characterize the sensory analytical and synthetic descriptors of an aged dry white wine. The descriptors were selected using a Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) approach concerning wine colour, aroma, taste, mouthfeel, and global appreciation.

Grape pomace, an active ingredient at the intestinal level: Updated evidence

Grape pomace (GP) is a winemaking by-product particularly rich in (poly)phenols and dietary fiber, which are the main active compounds responsible for its health-promoting effects. GP-derived products have been proposed to manage cardiovascular risk factors, including endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and obesity. Studies on the potential impact of GP on gut health are much more recent. However, it is suggested that, to some extent, this activity of GP as a cardiometabolic health-promoting ingredient would begin in the gastrointestinal tract as GP components (i.e., (poly)phenols and fiber) undergo extensive catabolism, mainly by the action of the intestinal microbiota, that gives rise to low-molecular-weight bioactive compounds that can be absorbed and utilized by the body.

Influence of different Lachancea thermotolerans strains in wine acidity

Wine acidity is a parameter of great importance that influences different quality factors of the product such as biological stability or organoleptic characteristics. In the current context of climate change, which gives rise to wines with higher levels of ethanol and lower acidity, the biological acidification with yeast species such as Lachancea thermotolerans could be a solution.
In this work, the effect of the inoculation of different L. thermotolerans on the acidity of wine was studied.

The exploitation of Croatian grapevine genetic resources for the breeding of new resistant cultivars 

Croatian viticulture is mainly based on native grapevine varieties susceptible to various diseases and pests, which leads to unsustainable use of large amounts of pesticides. The sustainable development of viticulture in the future will only be possible by increasing the resistance of the grapevine through the development of new resistant varieties. Breeding programs have been launched in the leading wine-growing countries to develop resistant varieties possessing high-quality levels. Native cultivars from Croatia are not included in the breeding programs of other countries.
