Study of the viticultural ecosystem of Listán Prieto (cv. País) variety in the coastal range of Chile
Empedrado is located in the coastal range of the Maule Valley and represents a distinctive viticultural ecosystem for the País variety.
Preliminary results of the water use and performance of grapevine cultivars in response to crop load and water replenishment from the subsoil under a warm temperate climate
Climate change is making rainfall less predictable, sparking uncertainty for producers regarding the availability of water for irrigated and dryland (rainfed) vineyards in the future.
Understanding the environmental drivers of white winegrape quality parameters – A survey of Chardonnay ripening in Northern California
Climate change is shifting the timing and conditions of winegrape berry ripening, impacting development and composition (van Leeuwen & Darriet, 2016).
Implications of organic mulch composition derived from agriculture and livestock production on grapevine behaviour and microbial communities
Climate change substantially challenges winegrowing regions, threatening terroir stability through heatwaves, altered precipitation patterns, and increased drought frequency.
Climate change and the redefinition of tropical terroir: eco-physiological and phenolic responses of grapevines under double-pruning management in subtropical vineyards
Climate change has intensified the need to understand how grapevines respond to increasingly warmer and more variable environments, especially in emerging viticultural regions where tropical and subtropical climates are becoming relevant for high-quality wine production.
Alternate and complete inter-row spontaneous vegetation covers versus tillage in a Graciano vineyard in Rioja Alavesa
More than 40% of the Rioja Alavesa vineyards have an average slope higher than 10%, making them susceptible to erosion.
Comparative evaluation of viticultural systems: impacts on yield, plant protection, and resource efficiency
The focus on sustainability and climate change emphasises the need to compare cultivation systems based on their economic, ecological and productive characteristics.
Silica nanoparticles enhance resistance of Vitis vinifera to downy mildew
Downy mildew, caused by the obligate biotrophic oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is one of the most destructive grapevine diseases worldwide, constituting a major challenge to viticulture.
Upper opening of canopy on vertical trellis: soil moisture and stem water potential in cv. Tempranillo in the D.O. Ribera del Duero
Water relations in vineyards are affected by microclimatic conditions, which impact the plant water status and the vine physiological response.
Territorial diagnosis and delimitation of wine PDOs in France
Since 1935, grapes used to produce French AOC wines must come from a precisely defined area at the plot level.
Investigation of the biostimulant activity of flavonoids on anthocyanins biosynthesis: from an explanatory approach on Gamay callus towards a future vineyard application to adapt to climate change
Anthocyanins are key phenolic compounds in red wine, playing a major role in colour intensity and sensory quality.
Ecosystemic services enhanced through regenerative practices in viticulture
Soil health is essential for many ecosystem services in agroecosystems like crop production, climate regulation, and biodiversity conservation.
Portuguese grapevine varieties as a solution to tackle climate change challenges on wines
Portugal has about 250 grapevine varieties, but they could only be useful if tested in vineyards and on winemaking trials.
Long-term dynamics of grape acidity under climate variability: evidence from Chardonnay in Bourgogne vineyard
Recent climate warming has profoundly affected grape composition, with a general decrease in acidity and an increase in must pH widely reported across winegrowing regions.
Application of ethephon induces an increase in berry flavonols leading to an increase in wine blueish hue through copigmentation
Exogenous applications of plant growth regulators are valuable tools to modulate berry ripening and to explore the roles of phytohormones in controlling plant developmental processes.
Why aren’t farmers using precision viticulture frequently? A case study
In the last years, viticulture precision tools have been made available for farmers for different crops.
Physicochemical characterization of Cabernet-Sauvignon red wines from two Brazilian winegrowing regions
This research presented the characterization of physicochemical composition of Cabernet Sauvignon red wines from 2021vintage, produced in two of the largest wine regions in Brazil, namely Vale do São Francisco (Tropical region) and Serra Gaúcha (Temperate region).
Vineyard Carbon Footprint in warm-temperate humid terroirs: the case of Uruguay
Climate change is one of the main challenges for global viticulture, and mitigation strategies involve assessing and reducing the environmental footprint.
Foliar kaolin residues in grapes and its influence on the alcoholic fermentation process
Kaolin is increasingly used in Mediterranean viticulture as a foliar particle film to mitigate heat and water stress and to control grape leafhoppers.
Microterroir modulation by shading nets alters the canopy energy balance influencing vine physiological status and berry physicochemical parameters
Currently, the use of shading nets is an increasingly adopted strategy to reduce excessive solar radiation and canopy thermal stress within the Chilean wine industry.
