Agronomic and qualitative behaviour of cv. Tempranillo according to three vine spacing on two different hydric-edaphic situations in the Duero river valley

Abstract

The knowledge of the influence of soil conditions on the effects that different plant densities provoke in the agronomic grapevine behaviour becomes very interesting since it allows to focus the vineyard management on the optimization of the natural, hydric and human resources.
This work is focused on the study of the vegetative, productive and qualitative behaviour of Tempranillo variety distributed with three different distances between vines (1.2, 1.5 and 1.8 m) and a common distance between rows (3.0 m) along the period 2005-2007, in two different growing conditions, moderated deficit irrigation and non irrigation. The final objective is to know the more adequate plant density under each particular growing conditions. The experimental trials have been located in the A.O. Rueda, along the Duero river valley, in the province of Valladolid (Spain).
The different vine spacing treatments have shown some differences in pruning weight, vigour of shoot, yield per hectare and cluster weight in both hydric-edaphic situations, being these differences more remarkable in the non irrigation conditions. The differences between treatments in fertility and berry weight have been fewer. The grape quality has hardly shown any difference between treatments in both growing situations.
These results suggest the convenience of different vineyard management depending on the particular growing conditions, being of doubtful effectiveness the increase of the number of plants if there is no any limiting factor that substantially alters these growing conditions.

Aptitude du cépage Chenin à l’élaboration de vins liquoreux en relation avec certaines unités terroirs de base de A.O.C. Coteaux du Layon

Massif and the first sedimentary formations of the western aureole of the Paris Basin. If it is found all over the world (California, Israel, South Africa), it is in this region that it best asserts its identity. It is one of the most interesting grape varieties due to the variety and complexity of the wines it can produce. It can give very dry or very sweet, still or sparkling wines, fresh when young and sublime when ageing, expressing the characteristics of each vintage as much as those of the terroir. The Chenin is a faithful witness of its geographical, geological, pedological and climatic environment; he is the foil of the land. It has strong aptitudes for the production of sweet wines conditioned by overripe grapes often botrytised in the AOC Coteaux du Layon.Massif and the first sedimentary formations of the western aureole of the Paris Basin.

Polysaccharides and glycerol production by non-Saccharomyces wine yeasts in mixed fermentation

A great variability in the amount of polysaccharides recovered at the end of fermentations carried out by pure cultures of 89 non-Saccharomyces yeasts was observed. The utilization of the best polysaccharides producers in mixed cultures with S. cerevisiae resulted in considerable increases in the final concentration of polysaccharides and showed a strain dependent effect on glycerol production as compared to pure culture of S. cerevisiae.
