Landscape qualities and keys for action

Abstract

Parallèlement à la connaissance des aptitudes viticoles, le terroir témoigne d’une identité locale, d’une spécificité des conditions de productions et d’une originalité des lieux. Le paysage, support sensible des choix d’aménagements locaux, constitue une entrée pertinente pour une réflexion durable, car il permet d’identifier et de conforter les supports identitaires, de redonner une vision spatiale à un projet technique viticole et de l’intégrer dans les échelles multiples d’un territoire. Une démarche de paysage s’appuie sur un besoin local, exprimé par une collectivité ou des viticulteurs. Elle se décompose en une première étape de lecture et de diagnostic de paysage permettant de se questionner sur la place, le rôle et l’image du viticulteur dans le territoire. Cette première étape révèle la qualité des projets viticoles et recherche la cohérence entre les différents gestionnaires du territoire. Mais les observations et interrogations formulées ne restent qu’une entrée, à compléter par l’expertise de personnes ressources locales ou par des enquêtes auprès des différents acteurs territoriaux. Ensuite intervient l’élaboration du projet, associé à un plan de gestion, qui répond à un dysfonctionnement ou besoin viticole local, tels les aménagements des abords de cave, des sentiers pédagogiques et la réimplantation de haies. Les viticulteurs, principaux gestionnaires d’un terroir viticole, doivent être au cœur des discussions et force de proposition quant à l’avenir de leur territoire et aux priorités du projet. La pré-existance d’un mouvement collectif et d’une conscience environnementale au sein des viticulteurs et des acteurs locaux est un atout non négligeable pour favoriser les dialogues et les dynamiques d’un projet. Par ces démarches, le paysage devient l’expression d’un projet viticole, concerté, voulu, approprié et non subi ; c’est-à-dire une clé d’action pour la viticulture durable.

Study of the aromatic oxidation markers of Tempranillo long aged wines

The aromatic quality of wines after a long aging period in bottle is one of key points for oenologists. The objective of this work is to determine the main representative aromatic compounds found in long aged wines from D.O.Ca. Rioja. This study was made by 32 wines from 1971 to 2010 vintages. Sotolon, acetaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde, 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaptalene (TDN), β-damascenone, Y-decalactone and Y-dodecalactone were determined as the most important oxidation markers by GC-MS analysis. Moreover, sensory analysis using triangular tests were performed from wines with and without the addition of the mentioned compounds. Four different concentrations of each odorant were added, as individual compounds and as mixtures. The additions were ranged from values close to the reference odour thresholds up to high level concentrations. The most identified aroma was sotolon, which is commonly associated to curry and coffee liqueur aromatic notes. Other oxidative compounds were easily detected by panellists, such as Y-decalactone (peach compote), Y-dodecalactone (ripe fruit). The mixtures of the odorants were most easily detected than the individual compounds. It should be noted that acetaldehyde and phenylacetaldehyde were rarely perceived and distinguished.

Late leaf removal does not consistently delay ripeningin semillon in Australia

Context and purpose of the study ‐ An advancement of grapevine phenological development has been observed worldwide in the last two decades. In South Australia this phenomenon is even more accentuated since grapevine is often grown in a hot climate. The main consequences are earlier harvests at higher sugar levels which also result in more alcoholic wines. These are deemed undesirable for the Australian wine industry with consumer preferences shifting towards lower alcohol wines. Vineyard practices can be implemented to control and delay ripening. Amongst them, apical late leaf removal has been successfully applied in Europe to delay ripening by up to two weeks in Sangiovese, Aglianico and Riesling. In those studies, no negative effects were observed on grape colour, phenolics and on the carbohydrate storage capacity of the vines. To date, this technique has not been studied in Australia. In this study late leaf removal, apical to the bunch zone was applied to the variety Semillon for four seasons and compared to an untreated control.

Long-term flooding effects on the physiological and productive performance of Montepulciano and Sangiovese cultivars

Extreme climatic events, such as prolonged drought followed by intense flooding, increasingly impact viticulture, affecting vine physiology, productivity, and grape composition.

MONOSACCHARIDE COMPOSITION AND POLYSACCHARIDE FAMILIES OF LYOPHILISED EXTRACTS OBTAINED FROM POMACES OF DIFFERENT WHITE GRAPE VARIETIES

The recovery of bioactive compounds from grape and wine by-products is currently an important and necessary objective for sustainability. Grape pomace is one of the main by-products and is a rich source of some bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, polysaccharides, fatty acids, minerals and seed oil. Polysaccharides contained in the grape cell wall can be rhamnogalacturonans type II (RG-II), polysaccharides rich in arabinose and galactose (PRAG), mannoproteins (MP), homogalacturonans (HG) and non pectic polysaccharides (NPP).

Whole bunch fermentation: adding complexity, or just making ‘green’ wine?

Certain grape varieties contain negligible levels of isobutyl methoxypyrazine (IBMP) in grapes. However, it has long been known that grape stems
