Veraison as determinant for wine quality and its potential for climate adapted breeding

Abstract

The evaluation of new grapevine genotypes regarding their potential to produce high quality wines is the time limiting factor in the process of grapevine breeding. Hence, the development of quality-related markers useable in marker-assisted selection (MAS) as well as in prediction models for this bottleneck trait will tremendously enhance breeding efficiency. In extensive studies a training set of a segregating white wine F1 population (150 F1 genotypes = POP150; `Calardis Musqué´ x `Villard Blanc´) was deeply phenotyped and genotyped for model development and QTL analysis.

The high variance in ripening time within this population was identified as major factor influencing the quality potential of the individual genotypes. This is mainly induced by the early veraison locus Ver1 on chromosome 16 genetically inherited by ‘Calardis Musqué’. Ver1 could be traced back to the early ripening ‘Pinot Noir’ (PN) clone ‘Pinot Precoce Noir’ (PPN). Many important quality attributes of the population were directly affected, especially sugars, organic acids, pH value and key aroma compounds. For some of these constituents the Ver1 locus shows the highest genetic impact in QTL analysis. Understanding the genetic base of ripening and the subsequently resulting effects on quality offers breeders knowledge and helpful tools for the early and efficient selection of genotypes carrying hidden (at least until the first full yield) potential for quality oriented climate-adaption. Furthermore, it enables the implementation of additional selection criteria in marker-assisted selection (MAS), when stacking of resistance loci is no longer the limiting factor in seedling production.

Natural variability and vine-growers behaviour

Le vigneron est confronté à une variabilité naturelle omniprésente, liée au millésime et aux facteurs pédoclimatiques. Depuis 10 ans, en Champagne, la relation qu’entretient le vigneron avec l’espace a évolué. Les exemples d’entreprises collectives à vocation territoriale se sont multipliés : gestion de l’hydraulique viticole, maillages de groupements de conseil viticole (Magister), sites en confusion sexuelle, réseau maturation, analyses de sols par secteur, …

Aroma characterisation of mold resistant sparkling wines produced in a warm-temperate area

In recent years, resistant varieties have returned to the attention of the wine sector as a response to climate change and the reduction of pesticides in grapevine management, which is the main culprit of pesticide use in European agriculture. In this context, the production of sparkling wines could be strongly influenced due to its requirements for a particular balance between sugars and acidity, and the necessity of sound grapes to ensure wine quality. However, these parameters are not the only ones that define the suitability of a grape variety to produce sparkling wine.

Effect of climate and soil on phenology and ripening of Vitis vinifera cv Touriga acional in the Dão region

“Terroir” has been acknowledged as an important factor in wine quality
and style. It can be defined as an interaction between climate, soil, vine (cultivar, rootstock) and human
factors such as viticultural and enological techniques. Soil and climate are the two components of the “Terroir” with an important role on the vine development and berries ripening. The present study is focused on the effects of the weather conditions and the soil characteristics on the phenological and berries ripening dynamics of the “Touriga Nacional” in Dão region.
