«Nektar» -the new red variety wine grape aromatic high quality

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – The multi-annual study of the International Genetic Bank of the Grape Vine has shown that red varieties are enough, but the red varieties that produce high-quality red wine are minimal. This paper presents is the create, the study and amplographic description the new red variety “Nektar”. The new red variety “Nektar” was created at the Athens Vineyard Institute in 2012.  

Material and methods – The variety created by crossing by the method of hybridization of the newly Greek variety “Makedonas” (“Ksinomauro” x “Cabernet Sauvignon”) with the newly Greek variety “Tihi” (“Augoulato” with the pollen mix of varieties Cabernet-Sauvignon and Grenache noir).

Results – The “Nektar” is is a new red grape variety wine-making quality aromatic. The duration of the variety from budburst to maturity is 136-145 days. The variety is very strong with large shoots growth (2.1 – 3.0 m). The growth of shoots is higherover 95 %. The average mass of cluster is 360 g and the yield are high, 15-20 t / ha. The “Nektar” grape variety is medium, spheric,middle density, the diameter 15 mm, with anaverage weight of 1,9 g and a blue-black color.The flower is hermaphrodite. The pollen is fertile.The quantity of seeds in berry is3-4. The skin is thick with high strength. The flesh isnone or very weak, with a special flavor of the variety, green paper. The content of sugar in must is greater than 24 %. The “Nektar” variety, based on its ampelographic and natural characteristics, is classified in the group of varieties convarietasponticaNeqr. It is distinguishedfrom by its high resistance to drought and fungal diseases compared to other varieties of Vitis vinifera L. The variety is intended for the production of high-quality red wines, and very aromatic juices. Can be used in the genetic improvement of vitis vinifera varieties as a qualitydonor

Digitalization and valorization of the genotypic and phenotypic information retained within the FEM grapevine germplasm

The maintenance and valorization of genetic diversity is an undoubtable resource for the viticulture of the future, since the climate crisis is forcing us to think of new, more resilient varieties. For this reason, the grapevine germplasm of the Fondazione Edmund Mach has been continuously expanded in the last decade to a total of 3,120 accessions, whose trueness-to-type has been verified by means of the universal set of nine microsatellites. About two thirds are V. vinifera subsp. vinifera accessions, while the rest consists of naturalized and selected hybrids, V. vinifera subsp. sylvestris, and pure species. The genetic material has also been characterized over three consecutive years for ampelographic, vine development, and biotic stress response traits to be exploited for experimental purposes.

Aptitude du cépage Chenin à l’élaboration de vins liquoreux en relation avec certaines unités terroirs de base de A.O.C. Coteaux du Layon

Massif and the first sedimentary formations of the western aureole of the Paris Basin. If it is found all over the world (California, Israel, South Africa), it is in this region that it best asserts its identity. It is one of the most interesting grape varieties due to the variety and complexity of the wines it can produce. It can give very dry or very sweet, still or sparkling wines, fresh when young and sublime when ageing, expressing the characteristics of each vintage as much as those of the terroir. The Chenin is a faithful witness of its geographical, geological, pedological and climatic environment; he is the foil of the land. It has strong aptitudes for the production of sweet wines conditioned by overripe grapes often botrytised in the AOC Coteaux du Layon.Massif and the first sedimentary formations of the western aureole of the Paris Basin.
