Ripening of Mencía grape cultivar in different edaphoclimatic situations (D.O. Ribeira Sacra, Spain)

Abstract

Ribeira Sacra is a Spanish Denominación de Origen (D.O.) for wines, located in Galicia, NW Spain. The vineyards are planted on the valleys of the rivers Miño and Sil. The area is divided into five sub-zones with different edaphoclimatic characteristics: Chantada, Amandi Ribeiras do Miño, Ribeiras do Sil-Ourense and Quiroga-Bibei.
The wines from D.O. Ribeira Sacra are typically young red wines produced with Mencía grape variety. During eight years (2002-2009) we have analyzed the chemical parameters that determine the quality of the grape during the ripening process of Mencía grape in the different subzones. The results showed the influence of terroir on the Mencía grapes composition.

How to improve the success of dead vine replacement: insights into the impacts of young plant‘s environment 

Grapevine faces multiple biotic and/or abiotic stresses, which are interrelated. Depending on their incidence, they can have a negative impact on the development and production of the plant, but also on its longevity, leading to vine dieback. One of the consequences of vine dieback on production is the increased replacement rate of dead or missing vines within a parcel.

How climate change can modify the flavor of red Merlot and Cabernet-Sauvignon

he main goal of this research was to identify key aroma compounds linked with the maturity of grapes (ripe and overripe) and involved in grapes and wines with an intense dried fruits aroma. Odoriferous zones reminiscent of these aromas were detected by gas chromatography coupled with olfactometry (GC-O).
