Phenolic composition profile of cv. Tempranillo wines obtained from severe shoot pruning vines under semiarid conditions

Abstract

One of the limitations of vineyards in warm areas is the loss of wine quality due to higher temperatures during the grape ripening period. In order to adapt the vineyards to these new climatic conditions, a possible solution is to delay the ripening process of the grapes towards periods with milder temperatures, by means of management practices and thus improve the quality of the fruit and the wine produced. The technique of severe shoot pruning (SSP) has proven useful in achieving this objective. This technique consists of trimming the developed primary shoots at the end of flowering, above the node number seven. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of SSP under drought conditions and high temperatures on the ‘Tempranillo’ wine phenolic composition compared with non-trimming vines (NT) grown under conventional practices (just winter pruning) during the 2022 season. None of the treatments were irrigated. The wines were elaborated according to traditional red wine-making method and their general and chromatic parameters were analysed. Respect to NT, the SSP treatment showed slightly lower ethanol content and significantly reduced the dry extract, pH, malic acid and potassium, total phenolic content and color intensity values. When the polyphenolic profile of wine was analysed by HPLC techniques, respect to NT wines, the SSP ones showed an increase in coumarilated anthocyanins, and a decrease in the concentration of monoglucoside anthocyanins, flavonols, phenolics acids and total anthocyanins content. In conclusion, under these study conditions (including non-irrigation, extremes temperatures and dry weather), severe pruning of the vine shoots was not effective in improving the phenolic profile of the wine. It would therefore be necessary to analyse this technique accompanied by supportive irrigation during the ripening cycle of the grapes.

What to do to solve the riddle of vine rootstock induced drought tolerance

Climate change will increase the frequency of water deficit situation in some European regions, by the increase of the evapotranspiration and the reduction of rainfalls during the growing cycle. This requires finding ways of adaptation, including the use of plant material which is more tolerant to drought. In addition to the varieties used as scions that result in the typicality of wines, rootstocks constitute a relevant way of adaptation to more stressful environmental conditions.

Chemical and microbiological evaluation of Ribeiro wines (NW Spain)

Wine produced under Designation of Origin (DOP) Ribeiro, the oldest DOP in Galicia (NW Spain), are elaborated using local grape cultivars, grown at the valleys of Miño, Avia and Arnoia rivers. The landscape formed by slopes and terraces and the peculiar climate of continental character, softened by the proximity of Atlantic Ocean, make it an area of excellent aptitude for vine cultivation. In addition, small-scale farming and the use of traditional techniques for vineyard management provide a great diversity to Ribeiro wines. This study presents the evaluation of red and white wines (bottled or bulk wines) from DOP Ribeiro, produced between years 2018-2022.

Effect of foliar application of urea and nano-urea on the cell wall of Monastrell grape skins

The foliar application of urea has been shown to be able to satisfy the specific nutritional needs of the vine as well as to increase the nitrogen composition of the must. On the other hand, the use of nanotechnology could be of great interest in viticulture as it would help to slow down the release of urea and protect it against possible degradation. Several studies indicate that cell wall synthesis and remodeling are affected by nitrogen availability.

Study of Spanish wine sensory analysis data over a 3-year period

This study presents an investigation based on sensory analysis data of Spanish wines with geographical indications collected over a three-year period. Sensory analysis plays a crucial role in assessing the quality, characteristics, and perception of wines. The trained tasting panel at Dolmar Laboratory, accredited for objective sensory evaluation of wines since 2016, has been tasting over 5000 wines. However, it is since 2021, when a computer application for tastings was developed, that the digitalization of data allows for detailed statistical analysis of the results.

Yeast mannoprotein characterization and their effect on Oenococcus oeni and malolactic fermentation

Mannoproteins are released at the end of alcoholic fermentation due to yeast autolysis [1]. It has been described a positive effect of these molecules on lactic acid bacteria growth [2]. The main objective of this work was the characterization of different mannoproteins extracted from active dry yeast (ADY) and the assessment of their effect on Oenococcus oeni and malolactic fermentation (MLF).
