Ripening of Vitis vinifera grapes varieties in São Joaquim, a new wine growing region, Southern Brazil

Abstract

This report has investigated the ripening characteristics of Vitis vinifera grapes Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah in two consecutive vintages (2006 and 2007), in order to evaluate the adaptation from these recently varieties planted in São Joaquim town, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. The berries had been collected at 10-day intervals from véraison to harvest and in have been analyzed at levels of pH, total acidity (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), maturation index (TSS/TA), total monomeric anthocyanins (TMA) (malvidin-3-glucoside, mg/100g skin), total polyphenols index (TPI), and Color Intensity (CI). At maturity, values of pH, TA and TSS ranged from 3.3 to 3.5; from 0.60 to 0.80 (mg of tartaric acid/100 mL) and from 19 to 23.5 ºBrix, respectively. Maturation index ranged from 29 to 40, and significant differences (p< 0.05) have been observed among different grapes varieties, but not between vintages. The values of TMA, TPI and CI ranged from 864.6 to 352.1; from 126.1 to 45.5 and from 20.66, respectively, and significant differences have been verified among varieties and also vintages (p< 0.05).

Plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis and preliminary trials for the application of the DNA-free genome editing in grapevine cv. Corvina veronese

Grapevine (Vitis spp.) is a globally significant fruit crop, and enhancing its agronomic and oenological traits is crucial to meet changing agricultural conditions and consumer demands. Conventional breeding has played a key role in domesticating grapevine varieties, but it is a time-consuming process to develop new cultivars with desirable traits for cultivation.
New plant breeding techniques (NpBTs) offer a potential revolution in grapevine cultivation, and genome editing has shown promise for targeted mutagenesis. The success of these biotechnological approaches relies on efficient in vitro regeneration protocols, particularly through somatic embryogenesis (SE).

Estimating grapevine water status: a combined analysis of hyperspectral image and 3d point clouds

Mild to moderate and timely water deficit is desirable in grape production to optimize fruit quality for winemaking. It is crucial to develop robust and rapid approaches to assess grapevine water stress for scheduling deficit irrigation. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has the potential to detect changes in leaf water status, but the robustness and accuracy are restricted in field applications.

Aromatic maturity is a cornerstone of terroir expression in red wine

In this video recording of the IVES science meeting 2023, Stéphanie Marchand (University of Bordeaux, ISVV, INRAE, UMR 1366 OENOLOGIE, Villenave d’Ornon, France) speaks about the aromatic maturity as a cornerstone of terroir expression in red wine. This presentation is based on an original article accessible for free on OENO One.

Unraveling the role of grape cell wall in shaping the fermentation rate, the polyphenolic profile and quality of red wines from disease-resistant and drought-tolerant grapes in Occitanie varietal selection

Climate change and an evolving environmental and societal context call for the exploration of disease-resistant and/or drought-adapted grape varieties that meet the demands of consumers and society.

Tracing glycosidically-bound smoke taint markers from grape to wine

The increasing frequency of wildfires on the West Coast of the USA is seen as a significant risk for the grape and wine industry. Research has shown that perceived smoke impact in wines correlates with increases in volatile phenols (VPs) in grapes exposed to fresh smoke.
