Effect of vine nitrogen status on grape berry aromatic potential and on wine aroma
Excerpt
The 20th GiESCO International Meeting is held in Mendoza (Argentina), November 5-10, 2017.
We wanted to quantify the importance of post-harvest carbohydrate assimilation to replenish vine reserves, additional to maintaining optimal growth, productivity and fruit quality of high yielding vigorous Sauvignon blanc grapevines.
En Vitis sp., la resistencia al frío (RF) adquirida durante la estación de dormición (ED) es crucial para la supervivencia y el rendimiento. La mayoría de la información sobre RF es obtenida en áreas cercanas a 40°N, donde las temperaturas causan daños recurrentes en viñedos.
Grapevine is a species that get along with water deficit. Yet, it cannot always stand thirst when accompanied by high temperatures, reducing noticeably its gas-exchange rates. Elucidating the origins of this reduction is a challenge, regarded the complex hydraulic, biochemical and energy processes lying behind gas-exchanges.
It has been known for a long time that altering microclimate affects fruit composition and wine quality. The research project Heat Berry focuses on future scenarios of the climate change regarding higher temperatures and the risk of increasing sun radiation to the fruit. Field experiments were conducted in 2015 and 2016 at an experimental site at Geisenheim (Germany) using Riesling (clone 198-25 grafted to rootstock SO4).
Ethephon is known to be a growth regulator that, when applied to the plant, is metabolized into ethylene. In this study, it has been evaluated the foliar application at the beginning of veraison of a commercial product (Fruitel 180, 18% w/v ethephon) in a Vitis vinifera L. cv. red Tempranillo vineyardin La Rioja (north of Spain).
Different irrigation treatments were applied in vines (Vitis vinifera L.) with cv. Tempranillo blanco during 2016 in an experimental field located in Rincón de Soto (La Rioja, Spain), 42°12'37"N; 1°52'36"W.
The few studies that relates the chemical composition and the organoleptic characteristics of Argentine wines with the origin show that climate is a very important factor.
Global warming, and the ongoing expansion of viticulture to marginal areas is increasing the surface area of vineyards experiencing high solar irradiance and daily temperatures, leading to the loss of quality-related compounds.
Drought and high temperature are important threats to plant growth and sustainable agriculture worldwide.
