Volatile fraction of young Cabernet Sauvignon from Santa Catarina State, a new terroir in Brazil
A total of 52 volatile compounds were measured in varietal Cabernet Sauvignon wines from four sites in Santa Catarina State (Brazil), over two consecutive vintages (2004 and 2005).
Contribution of viticultural and oenological factors to the aromatic potential of white Colombard wines from the south west of France Gascony vineyard
The aim of this work is to determine the influence of viticultural and oenological factors to the aromatic potential of white wines from Colombard variety in the south west of France Gascony vineyard.
Evaluation of grape and wine quality according to harvest date, in a tropical region in Northeast Brazil
The Northeast region of Brazil is characterized by a semi-arid climate, has produced tropical wines since twenty years ago. The region is located at 09º 09’ South, 40º 22’ West, 365.5 m
Contribution to the sensory and volatile characterization of four traditional Galician red varieties
Galicia, a region sited in the northwest of Spain, is one of the most important wine production area, with five Appellations of Origin Controlled (AOC).
Contribution of Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) measurements for characterizing hydrological behaviour of an experimental plot in relation to pedo-geological factors (AOC Gaillac, SW France)
Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) measurements have been performed by the Wenner method on an experimental plot situated in Gaillac region.
Is it relevant to consider remote sensing information for targeted plant monitoring?
An experiment was carried out to test the relevance of using satellite images (NDVI) to define locations of plant monitoring systems.
On the stability of spectral features of four vine varieties in Brazil, Chile and France
Satellite images of vineyards in France, Chile, and Brazil are used to study spectral differences between the vine varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, to verify if features of a given variety are conserved at vineyards in completely different terroirs.
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.
