Complementarity of measurements of electric resistivity of soils and ΔC13 of must in studies and valorization of wine terroirs

Abstract

The correlations between vine water deficit cumulated over the ripening period of grapes, assessed by ΔC13 in must sugar, and the main analytic variables of grapes are significant. As a result ΔC13 is a useful tool in zoning homogeneous areas according to their technological qualities when harvesting. There is no significant correlation between ΔC13 in must sugar and soil electric resistivity in the same zone. Thus it is impossible to combine a few measurements of ΔC13 and a zoning of electric resistivity to distinguish areas of which the aptitudes are different. In the event of little water deficit (ΔC13<-25,5‰), a pedological study based on zoning by means of electric resistivity is a complementary tool of zoning according to water uptake conditions, since harvest quality varies a lot with the texture of the sub-soil and its geophysic behaviour.

Evaluation of Furmint clones in the Tokaj Wine Region

The ’Furmint’ is the most important grape variety in the Tokaj Wine Region, constituting around 65% of its vineyard area. Before the phylloxera disease many types were grown, but as selection started in the 20th century, its diversity dramatically narrowed. As a result, the cultivation of Furmint was based mainly on two heavy-cropping clones, T.85 and T.92 at the end of the ’80s. Aims of present clone research take into account that after solely quantity as target, quality emerged in the 1990’s and most recently, typicity appeared as more private estates began their own selection program.

Revisión de estudios sobre suelos vitícolas de las tierras del Jerez

Dada la importancia de los suelos y de los substratos geológicos en la zonificación vitivinícola, los autores realizan una revisión de estudios sobre las formaciones más importantes en la D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry y Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

A comprehensive and accurate annotation for the grapevine T2T genome 

Addressing the opportunities and challenges of genomics methods in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) requires the development of a comprehensive and accurate reference genome and annotation. We aimed to create a new gene annotation for the PN40024 grapevine reference genome by integrating the highly accurate and complete T2T assembly and the manually curated PN40024.v4 annotation. Here, we present a novel workflow to enhance the annotation of the T2T genome by incorporating past community input found in PN40024.v4. The pipeline’s containerization will improve the workflow’s reproducibility and flexibility, facilitating its inclusion as a shared workflow on the Grapedia portal, the grapevine genomics encyclopedia.

Photodegradation of retsina wine: does pine resin protect against light-induced changes?

Retsina is a wine deeply rooted in Greek tradition but often misunderstood, largely due to the poor quality associated with past production. Historically, pine resin was used to seal wine transport containers, and over time, its distinctive aroma led to its intentional incorporation into winemaking.

Advanced phenology due to climate change is projected to shift precipitation patterns for key cultivar-region combinations in New Zealand

Context of the study. Shifts in grapevine phenology driven by temperature increase due to climate change may result in different rainfall profiles between phenological stages.
