Characterization of different clone candidates of xinomavro according to their phenolic composition

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study ‐ The aim of this study is the examination of wines of 9 different clones of a Greek grape variety Xinomavro, (ΧE1, X19, X22, X28, ΧE2 X30, X31, X35, X36, X37), with regards to their phenolic and anthocyanin content and chemical composition.

Material and methods ‐ Grapes were collected in vintage 2016, from an established Xinomavro vineyard, planted with the nine clones each one represented by fifty plants. The vineyard was established in 2011, with planted material selected according to the corresponding E.U. legislation for vine clone selection. Grapes were collected at harvest; general chemical analyses of each clone were recorded and the grapes were vinified under the same winemaking protocol and conditions. Monomeric anthocyanins, tannin mean degree of polymerization (mDP), galloylation percentage (%G), percentage of prodelphinidins (% P) and total tannin content, were determined in the produced wines by High Performance Liquid Chromatographer (HPLC) and spectrophotometer.

Results ‐ In most analyses performed an influence of clone selection was observed. Clones XE1, X19, X37, X35 and X31 differentiate from the clones evaluated in parameters crucial for wine quality such as maturity, acidity, anthocyanin, phenolic content and composition. It is therefore a step towards identifying clone characteristics dependent to the viticulture and winemaking needs.

High throughput winter pruning weight estimation based on wood volume evaluation 

There is currently a real need to improve and speed-up phenotyping in experimental set-ups to increase the number of modalities studied. Accurate information acquisition on plant status with high-throughput capacity is the main appeal of on-board systems.
A proximal sensing camera for a proxy of winter pruning weight was tested. We estimated the shoot volume of the vine by image analysis using algorithms that integrate the local shoot section area estimate along the shoot skeleton obtained by a morphological distance transform.
The study was carried out on the GreffAdapt experimental vineyard in Guyot simple training and a canopy management using vertical trellising. The planting density is 6250 vines/ha with a row spacing of 1.6×1m. Five scions grafted onto 55 rootstocks are present and the combination rootstock×scion is different every five plants.

Which potential for Near Infrared Spectroscopy to characterize rootstock effects on grapevines?

Developing rootstocks adapted to environmental constraints constitutes a key lever for grapevine adaptation to climate change. In this context, Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) could be used as a high-throughput phenotyping technique to simplify the study of rootstocks in grafted situations. This study is an exploratory analysis to evaluate the potential of NIRS acquired on grafted tissues to reveal rootstock effects as well as the plasticity of combinations of scion/rootstock to better characterize these interactions.
Through the study of 25 combinations (5 scions times 5 rootstocks) in a dedicated experimental vineyard, we showed that NIRS obtained from grafted tissues capture rootstock and scion/rootstock interaction signals, up to 20% of the total variance at specific wavelengths.

Influence of dipping pretreatments in drying of ‘Pedro Ximenez’ grapes in chamber at controlled temperature

The influence of dipping pretreatments on drying of ‘Pedro Ximenez’ grapes, destined to the elaboration of sweet wines, in chamber at controlled temperature, has been studied. Changes in color and phenolic composition of raisins produced were observed during the process of raisining.

The revision of the delimitation of the AOC “Champagne”

The Champagne vine-growing region has played a pioneering role in the delimitation of appellations of origin (AOC). The implementation of the Act of July, 22nd 1927 has led to drawing up lists of vine plots based on the criterion of vine cultivation antecedence.
