Remote sensing and ground techniques, applied to the characterization of a new viticultural region at Pinto Bandeira, Brazil
The region of viticultural production near Pinto Bandeira, Brazil, is being studied to define typical characteristics of wines locally produced.
Viticultural agroclimatic cartography and zoning at mesoscale level using terrain information, remotely sensed data and weather station measurements. Case study of Bordeaux winegrowing area
Climate is a key variable for grapevine development and berry ripening processes. At mesoscale level, climate spatial variations are often determined empirically, as weather station networks are generally not dense enough to account for local climate variations.
Characterisation of viticultural and oenological practices in two French AOC in the middle Loire Valley: comparison of different methods to extract information from a survey among winegrowers
The type of wine is determined by environmental, plant materials and human factors. These factors are numerous and interact together, which makes it difficult to determine the hierarchy of their effects
Considerations about the concept of “terroir”: definition and research direction
On exposera la distinction et la relation entre: “Etude des milieux”, “Zonage Petit ou Zonage Technique ou Sub Zonage”, “Grand Zonage”, “Délimitation des zones productives” ex.
AOC Saint-Romain, Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune, Burgundy: analysis of a “terroir”
The abbreviation AOC designates, since 1905 in France, wines which characteristics and reputation are due to a proper “terroir”. The delimitation of such “terroirs” consists in a technical and statutory procedure which has developed by steps.
Geopedological and climatic zoning of northern Malaga vineyards region: Fuente de Piedra, Humilladero and Mollina (southern Spain)
The vineyards placed in the municipal areas of Fuente de Piedra, Humilladero and Mollina constitute a wine-growing important area of the “Zona Norte” of the province of Málaga.
The role of the environmental factor as a component of the terroir in Spain (A.O. Cigales, NW Spain)
The components and the methodology for characterization of the terroir in Spain have been described by Gómez-Miguel et al.
Implications of grapevine row orientation in South Africa
Row orientation is a critical long-term viticulture practice, which may have a determining effect on grape and wine quality as well as cost efficiency on a specific terroir selected for cultivation.
Influence of canopy management on yield, grape and wine quality. Relationship between the potassium content and pH in must and wine of the cultivar “Tempranillo”
In recent years red wines are being produced in Andalusia from indigenous and foreign grape varieties, one of which is the Spanish variety Tempranillo.
Influence of organic plant treatment on the terroir of microorganisms
Several factors like vineyard site, climate, grape variety, ripeness, physical health of the grapes and pest management influence the populations of indigenous yeasts on grapes and later on in spontaneous fermentations.
Impact of water stress on the phenolic composition of cv. Merlot grapes, in a typical terroir of the La Mancha region (Spain)
The study was carried out in 2006 with Merlot grapes from vines grown using the trellis system, where four treatments were compared with different levels of water stress.
Narrow terraces and alternative training systems for steep sloop viticulture – Douro region
In Douro Region, vineyards are usually planted on hillsides with steep sloops. The models currently used for planting those vineyards are, depending on the initial slope of the hillside, vertical planting or terraces.
«Observatoire Mourvèdre»: (2) climatic mapping for successful plantation of Cv. Mourvèdre
A statistical model of sugar potential for Mourvèdre grapevine cultivar has been obtained using a group of 32 plots all around de south-east french mediterranean area.
Prospects for enlarging of microzone Manavi in the East Georgia
The experimental studies conducted in the eastern Georgia in Sagarejo administrative district on the foothills of the southern slope of Tsiv-Gombori range reveal the possibility of enlarging Manavi traditional specific zone to the north-west (from Giorgitsminda to Khashmi), at 500-750 m above sea level.
Ripening potential of Touriga Nacional variety with different canopy management techniques and in different regions (Dão, Bairrada and Vinhos Verdes)
Foreseeing climatic changes, the abnormally hot and dry year of 2005 can be revealer of some varieties behavior in different climatic conditions.
Enological potential of red grapes: cultivars and geographic origin of vineyards
The study of technologic and phenolic maturation is very efficient to determinate quality potential of red grapes cultivars and clones under different maturity levels or geographic origins
Environment friendly nutrition supplying and soil cultivation methods applicable in the upper zone of hillside vineyards
Somló is Hungary’s smallest wine district, however one of the best producing white wines. The majority of vineyard areas are located on the slopes of Somló-hill, situated at the point where the Kisalföld meets Bakonyalja
Using ΔC13 to assess viticultural and oenological suitability for Sangiovese of different pedoclimatic conditions in Chianti
A two years trial was carried out in Chianti (Central Italy) to assess at the detailed scale the viticultural and oenological suitability for Sangiovese of different pedoclimatic conditions, by means of the ΔC13 measured in the must sugars
Grapevine vigour is correlated with N-mineralization potential of soil from selected cool climate vineyards in Victoria, Australia
Excess vigour has been a problem on fertile soils under high rainfall in many cool climate regions of Australia. High and low vigour blocks were selected in vineyards of the cool climate regions of King Valley, Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula, Victoria.
