Recommended grapevine varieties for the vineyards zone Vrsac and trend meteorological elements

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to analyze trends of the meteorological elements and determine suitability of growing grapevine cultivar in viticulture region. Trend analyses were done, based on the data for South-Banat sub-region, an important resource for the production of grapes and wines in Pannonia plain (Vršac:H = 83 m, φ=45 09 N, λ=21 19 E). Trend of significance for the 95% level of confidence, for mean air temperature and sunshine duration, was obtained for the May-June period. For those elements, trend was increasing us well us for the precipitation in September.
Vineyard personnel are beginning to change list of some cultivars and develop new techniques for producing better fruit. These technologies such as tailoring vine care on a row-by-row and even plant–by-plant basis may prove of value in adapting vineyard to climate change. Based on trend analysis and obtained results, correction of the list of the recommended wine and table grapevine cultivars for this vinegrowing region was done. We are recommending the following mid-early season grapevine cultivars: Pinot Nero R-4, Gammy 222, Pinot gris R-6 and VCR-5, Pinot Blanco VCR 1, Chardonnay VCR 4, Riesling Renaro R2, Riesling 21, Riesling 198, Riesling Italico SK 61, SK 54 and SK 13, Sauvignon Blanc R1, Traminer Gewurz R-1, VCR-6. From the list of the table cultivars we are recommending Muscat of Banat, Muscat of Hamburg clone 192, 197, 198 and Becman.
From the new grapevine cultivars, created at the Faculty Agriculture in Zemun, Department for Viticulture, we are recommending cv. Godominka (selfpolination of Dymiat) Negotinka (Pinot Noir x Zacinak). By choosing grapevine rootstocks, priority has the fooling rootstocks Teleki 5C G-52, SO4 G-47 and Kober 5BB G-114.

METAPIWI: unveiling the role of microbial communities in PIWI grapes for sustainable winemaking

The METAPIWI project advances viticulture research by examining microbial communities in PIWI (fungus-resistant) grapevines compared to traditional Vitis vinifera. It investigates how these microbes influence spontaneous fermentation and the production of distinct metabolites and aromas.

Vineyard microclimate alterations induced by black mulch through transcriptome reshaped the flavoromics of Cabernet Sauvignon

To alter the vineyard microclimate and produce quality wine under a semi-arid climate, black geotextile inter-row mulch (M) was applied for two vintages (2016-2017). The grapes were sampled at three growing stages to conduct the untargeted metabolome and transcriptome analysis. The upregulated genes related to photosynthesis and heat shock proteins confirmed that M weakened the total light exposure and grapes suffered severe heat stress, resulting in lower sugar and higher acids at harvest. The integration of metabolome and transcriptome analysis identified the key genes responsible for the enhancements in phenylalanine, glutamine, ornithine, arginine, and C6 alcohol concentrations, and the downward trend in ε-viniferin, anthocyanins, flavonols, terpenes and norisoprenoids concentrations in M grapes.

European consumer preference for wines made from fungus resistant grape varieties

Fungus resistant grape varieties (FRGV or PIWI) offer many benefits such as less pesticide use or premium prices for enhanced sustainability. Still, winemakers are concerned about inferior wine quality. This study evaluates how European wine consumers assess wines made from new FRGVs in comparison to traditional V. vinifera varieties. Most of them were grown in the same vineyard. Four white (Calardis Blanc, Muscaris, Sauvignac, Cabernet Blanc) und three red (Satin Noir, Cabernet Cortis, Laurot) FRGV were compared to Riesling, Sauvignon blanc, Muskateller, Cab. Sauvignon and Merlot. For each FRGV, different styles were vinified using standardized protocols.
