Main viticultural soils in Castilla – La Mancha (Spain)

Abstract

Castilla-La Mancha is the biggest vineyard in the world. Once similar soils have been identified in Castilla-La Mancha (soils chosen are very representative of vineyards areas in the region), the results obtained will be very useful in helping us to choose the right varieties, rootstock, cultivation techniques, canopy management, irrigation system, etc… In further studies this typology will help us in works of viticulture zonification in areas where this technique is improving now.

Soil clay mineralogy and potassium buffer capacity as potential wine quality determining factors in Western Cape vineyards

The potassium (K) supply characteristics and clay mineralogies of a population of Western Cape soils were investigated to determine their potential effects on vine K uptake and wine quality. The total K contents of granite-, shale- and sandstone-derived soils varied, averaging 33.7, 26.1 and 4.5 cmol(+)/kg, respectively. Corresponding M NH4Cl exchangeable soil K levels were: 0.172, 0.042 and 0.035 cmol/kg.

Effect of power ultrasound treatment on free and glycosidically-bound volatile compounds and the sensorial profile of red wines

AIM Aiming to explore the possibility of shortening red winemaking maceration times (1,2), this study presents the effect of the application of high-power ultrasounds to crushed grapes, at winery-scale, on the content of varietal volatile compounds (free and glycosidically-bound) in musts and on the overall aroma of wines.
