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).

Portable NIR spectroscopy for nutrient profiling in rootstock and scion material: enhancing decision-making in the grafting industry

The success of grafting in viticulture is deeply influenced by the nutrient composition of both rootstock and scion
materials. Key components such as nitrogen and carbohydrates play a crucial role in graft compatibility, establishment,
and overall plant vigor [1].

Effect of Botrytis cinerea and esca on phenolic composition of berries and wines

This study showed that Botrytis cinerea could degrade the phenolic compounds by its enzymatic activity. It led to a diminution of skin’s anthocyanins from 20 % to 50 % and an increase level up to 40 % of individual proanthocyanins, 30 % of the %G and 25% of the %P.

Evolution of oak barrels C-glucosidic ellagitannins in model wine solution

Oak wood has a significant impact on the chemical composition of wine, leading to transformations that influence its organoleptic properties, such as its aroma, structure, astringency, bitterness and color. Among the main extractible non-volatile polyphenol compounds released from oak wood, the ellagitannins are found [1].
