Molecular characterization of a variegated grapevine mutant cv Bruce’s Sport

The winegrowers of the intercommunal cooperative cellar of Saint Hilaire d’Ozilhan have been practicing terroir selection for ten years. Five years ago, after having equipped themselves with an efficient commercial structure, and anxious to improve knowledge of their terroirs and to better control quantitatively and qualitatively the range of typicality that they can develop, they asked the Syndicate Général des Vignerons Réunis des Côtes du Rhône and the Institut Coopératif du Vin to help them set up an approach to better judge the behavior of the Grenache and Syrah grape varieties in the different terroirs, then to enhance this work through the improving product quality.

Los estudios regionales presentaron en Geografía, como en otras ciencias, en este siglo, varios enfoques. Cualquiera que sea la mirada sobre el espacio, en la base de la temática regional está la concepción

As knowledge about the oenological potential of disease-tolerant grape varieties (PIWI) continues to grow and consumer demand for product safety and sustainable production increases, more governments worldwide are permitting the cultivation of these varieties [1].

Malolactic fermentation (MLF) the microbial bioconversion of L-malic acid into L-lactic acid, is a pivotal metabolic process that holds fundamental significance for the quality and organoleptic characteristics of some wines. Oenococcus oeni is considered to be the main player in this conversion, and it is globally used as a starter culture for mlf thanks to his capacity to tolerate the harsh wine environment.

Struck flint/struck match/gun smoke/mineral aroma is considered desirable in some styles of wines, with this character sometimes evident in wines such as Burgundian Chablis and cooler climate barrel-fermented Australian Chardonnay.
