Climatic influences on Mencía grapevine phenology and grape composition for Amandi (Ribeira Sacra, Spain)

Abstract

During the year 2009 we have studied the phenology and grape composition of Mencía cultivar in seven different situations (orientation and altitude) for Amandi subzone (D.O. Ribeira Sacra, Spain). The results showed the influence of terroir on the Mencía growth stages (budburst, floraison, veraison, and harvest). All phenological data indicate that there is a delay in budburst for V-2 of 15 days respect to V-5 and V-6. A delay for floraison also was found for V-2 and V-3 (8 days respect to the others vineyards). In the veraison the delay was for V-1 and V-2 (3 days) respect to other vineyards studied. Significant differences were found in grape composition: total acidity, pH, malic acid, color intensity and anthocyanins. The volatiles also were influenced by the terroir, showed higher concentration of free compounds for V-2 (416 and SW) than the others vineyards and the total bound composition shower the highest values for V-4.

Cumulative effects of repeated drought stress on berry composition, and phenolic profile: Field experiment insights

Drought stress has a profound impact on grapevine productivity and significantly alters key quality-related traits of berries. Although research has been conducted on the effects of individual drought events, there is still a knowledge gap regarding the cumulative consequences of repeated exposure to water scarcity and the influence of the timing of stress imposition. To address this gap, a field experiment was conducted to investigate the impacts of repeated drought stress on yield, berry composition, and the phenolic profile of grape berries. The results indicate that yield is primarily influenced by pre-veraison water deficit. Although the number of clusters was only slightly reduced, a substantial decrease in berry size was observed, resulting in a notable reduction in overall yield.

Innovative red winemaking strategy: biosurfactant-assisted extraction and stabilization of phenolic compounds

The color is the first attribute perceived by consumers and a major factor determining the quality of red wines. This depends mainly on the content of grape anthocyanins and their extraction into the juice/wine during winemaking. Furthermore, these compounds can undergo reactions that influence the chemical and sensory characteristics of the wine. Monomeric forms are prone to oxidation and adsorption on solid parts.
