Main viticultural soils in Castilla – La Mancha (Spain)

Accurate grape yield estimation is essential for effective vineyard management, crop planning, and resource allocation. Traditional methods often involve time-consuming and labour-intensive processes, which may introduce errors due to the large size and inherent spatial variability of the vineyard blocks.

The important grape variety Welschriesling for Austrian and Southeast European viticulture has been selectively bred over the years for improving some quantitative traits. Collected genotypes as well as the local clones were examined from agricultural, analytical, sensory, and genetic perspectives.

The integration of sensor systems in viticulture is significantly improving vineyard management by enabling faster, comprehensive crop data collection across the entire vineyard, supporting more informed viticultural decision-making, and as a result promoting sustainability.

The “Geoviticulture Multicriteria Climatic Classification (MCC) System” was developed to characterize the climate of the wine producing regions of the world.

Phenolic compounds have been the focus of a lot of research in recent years for their important contribution to sensory characteristics of wine, their beneficial health effects, as well as the possibility they offer of characterising wines. In this contribution, a method is developed that allows the direct injection of wine samples followed by liquid
