«Observatoire Mourvèdre»: statistical modelling of quality for Cv. Mourvèdre

Abstract

Vine cultivar Mourvèdre is present all around the Mediterranean area and is interesting for its tannins and the specificity of its aromas. It is though difficult to manage. A wide project started in 1999 in order to determine what conditions are mostly important on the quality of the grapes and wines of Mourvèdre. During 5 years and on 32 different plots from Roussillon region up north towards Ardèche and east towards Var vineyards, a large amount of climatic, phenological, water stress, plant and grape data has been collected. Data mining PLS Spline method was used to model different variables of quality like sugar content in musts. The model obtained, that is able to predict the potential of a parcel, pointed out the major importance of the climate, as long as the yield and the leaf canopy management. It has then been validated on 4 different zones for the year 2005.

Oxidability of wines made from Spanish minority grape varieties

The phenolic profile of a wine plays an essential role in its oxidative capacity and in both white and red wines it defines its shelf life[1]. The study of minority varieties to produce wines with peculiar characteristics necessarily includes the phenolic and oxidative characterization of the wines produced. This paper presents the study of wines made from 24 minority and majority white and red grape varieties, focusing on phenolic characteristics (total phenols, slightly polymerized phenols, highly polymerized phenols, anthocyanins…), color, as well as parameters related to the oxidability of the wines and their capacity to consume oxygen [2].

Understanding the impact of rising temperatures due to climate change on aromatic compositions in Malbec wines from Mendoza, Argentina

Mendoza is one of Argentina’s most important and outstanding wine regions producing the renowned Malbec wines due to its optimal soil and weather conditions. However, the effects of 21st-century climate change would negatively impact Malbec wines quality. This study investigated the effect of temperature increase and the impact of plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) used to mitigate the negative effect of temperature increase on Malbec wines aromatic composition through GC-MS. Four treatments were applied on vines at field condition: Control, Control + 3 ºC, ABA and ABA + 3 ºC.
