«Promitheus» the new greek red wine grape arromatic variety

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – This paper presents is the create, the study and amplographic description the newGreek aromatic variety of red wine grapes “Promitheus”, created in 2012 by Researcher P. Zamanidis at the Athens Vine Department of the Institute of Olive, Subtropical Plants and Vine.

Material and methods – The variety created by crossing with the method of hybridization was used as the female parent the native newly Greek variety “Porfyro” with the male parent the variety “Cabernet-sauvignon”.  

Results – The “Promitheus” is a red aromatic wine variety. The duration of the variety from budburst to maturity is 146-155 days.  The variety is very strong with large shoots growth (2.1 – 3.0 m). The growth of shoots is higherover 95%. The flowers are morphologically and physiologically hermaphrodite. The yield is very high (15-20 t of grapes /ha). The size of the cluster is medium with a length of 15 cm and a width of 14 cm, the shape is conical, loose density. The length of the peduncle of the grape is 3,5 cm and the length of the peduncle of the berry is 0.5 cm. The average weight of the grape is 180 gr. The size of the berry is small, oval in shape, , the length of 1,5mm and width 1,4mm with an average weight of 2,2g and a blue-black color. The numbers of seed are 3-4 per berry. The skin is  thick with highresistance. The flesh is hard and the juice has a particular flavor of the variety, green paper. The content of sugars is higher than 230 g / l. It has high resistance to drought and fungal diseases compared to most Vitis vinifera grapes wine varieties. The “Promitheus” variety, due to its morphological and physiological characteristics, is classified in the group of convarietas pontica Negr. And is intended for the production of dry red wines, but also for sparkling wines, aromatic juices and tsipouro or raki.

Energy partitioning and functionality of photosystem II in water-stressed grapevines during heatwaves revealed by continuous measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence

The increased intensity and frequency of heatwaves, coupled with prolonged periods of drought, are a significant threat to viticulture worldwide. During these conditions the more exposed leaves can show visible symptoms of heat damage. We monitored the functionality of photosystem II (PSII) in the field to better understand the impact of heatwaves on canopy performance. A factorial experiment was established in summer 2023 using Shiraz grapevines in the Barossa valley of South Australia, involving water-stressed and well-watered vines.

Development of analytical sampling technique to study the aroma profile of Pinot Noir wine

A novel and efficient Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction (DLLME) method coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was developed to determine 33 key aroma compounds (esters, alcohols, aldehydes, terpenes, norisoprenoids, fatty acids and phenols) present in Pinot noir (PN) wine. Four critical parameters including extraction solvent type, disperse solvent type, extraction solvent volume and disperse solvent volume were optimised with the aid of D-optimal design.

Timing of leaf removal effects on vitis vinifera L. Cv. Grenache differed on two contrasting seasons

Warming trends over the winegrowing regions lead to an advance of grapevine phenology, diminution of yield and increased sugar content and must pH with a lower polyphenol content, especially anthocyanins. Canopy management practices are applied to control the source sink balance and improve the cluster microclimate to enhance berry composition. We hyphothesized that an early leaf removal might promote a delayed ripening through severe defoliation after fruitset; whereas, a late leaf removal at mid-ripening would reduce sugar accumulation.
