The influence of climate on the grapevine phenology and content of sugar and total acids in the must

Abstract

For the period of 10 years in the condition of Skopje vineyard area, at two regional (Vranec and Smederevka) and two international (Cabernet sauvignon and Chardonnay) grapevine cultivars, the researches are done.
The influences of temperatures sum on the duration of following phenological stages (number of days) are analyzed: from budburst to full maturity; from budburst to flowering and from veraison to full maturity. The temperature sum has a high impact on the duration of each phenological stage, especially from budburst to full maturity and from budburst to flowering. The climate has the influence on the content of sugar and total acids in the must. These parameters show grater variation at the cultivars Cabernet sauvignon and Chardonnay than cvs. Smedervka and Vranec.

MOVING FROM SULFITES TO BIOPROTECTION: WHICH IMPACT ON CHARDONNAY WINE?

Over the last few years, several tools have been developed to reduce the quantity of sulfites used during winemaking, including bioprotection. Although its effectiveness in preventing the development of spoilage microorganisms has been proven, few data are available on the impact of sulfite substitution by bioprotection on the final product. The objective of this study was therefore to characterize Chardonnay wines with the addition of sulfite or bioprotection in the pre-fermentation stage. The effects of both treatments on resulting matrices was evaluated at several scales: analysis of classical oenological parameters, antioxidant capacity, phenolic compounds, non-volatile metabolome and sensory profile.
