‘Tressage’: an alternative to hedging vines, that claims to have some benefits
In viticulture, a widely practiced form of leaf removal is hedging of the canopies, taking off the developing shoots at the top, as well as any extra growth sticking out into the row. The goal here is twofold: to tidy up the vineyard by removing unwanted growth, and also to slow down the vegetative phase of growth and get the vine to focus on fruit ripening.

Brettanomyces spp. control: a research-winery crosstalk.
The Brettanomyces spp. contamination during winemaking and its persistence in the cellar have a detrimental effect on the high-quality wines and produce economic losses worldwide. The Brettanomyces spp. wine spoilage is largely due to the volatile phenols (VPs) production with a depreciation of the wine bottles.

Nitrogen in viticulture and winemaking: an exploration from vine to bottle 28 April 2020 17:12 |

Nitrogen in viticulture and winemaking: an exploration from vine to bottle
Besides that which is essential for photosynthesis, namely carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight, grapevines also require a range of nutrients in order to grow, survive and prosper. These nutrients are split into two groups depending on scale of requirement, macro and micronutrient, the former being those required in larger amounts. Nitrogen is the most abundant soil‐derived macronutrient in the grapevine. It plays a major role in all processes and a significant amount of nitrogen is essential for normal vine growth. In viticulture a nitrogen deficiency may affect key metabolic functions and retard shoot development and bunch formation. In winemaking a shortage of yeast assimilable nitrogen can result in problematic fermentations. In this article I will explore nitrogen in viticulture from soil to bottle.

This is the latest step towards recognition of the visionary work by late French researcher Alain Bouquet on grape varieties resistant to fungal diseases (downy and powdery mildew). After the academic tribute from the National Institute for Agronomic Research (INRA), the Official Catalogue of Species and Varieties of Plants Grown in France can register two of his new varieties following publication of the March 13 decree - Rebelia (red) and Recybel (white). Approved by the Technical Standing Committee for Vine Breeding (CTPS), the registrations mark the successful completion of the Fijus project, whose aim is to obtain varieties specific to grape juice production.

Juice stabulation, an interesting winemaking technique 30 June 2020 16:55 |
Beheerder Registratiedatum: 9 jaren geleden Berichten: 8.971 |
Juice stabulation, an interesting winemaking technique
Juice stabulation is a newly famous winemaking technique. It was first used by winemakers in Gascony a couple of decades ago, but it is its recent adoption by rosé winemakers in Provence that has given this way of making wine more attention. Their rosé wines have got progressively paler over the years, and this has presented winemakers with a bit of a challenge. Many of the flavour compounds in red wine come from the skins, and for rosé this is also true, albeit to a lesser extent because of the short time it is left in contact with the skins – just long enough to get the desired colour. So if the wines are getting paler, the length of time in contact with the skins is getting shorter, and the extraction of flavour compounds is getting lower. This results in wines with less flavour, so Provençal winemakers have come up with a technique to offset this, called juice stabulation.

Fighting Vineyard Fungal Disease, With and Without Copper 06 July 2020 17:36 |

Fighting Vineyard Fungal Disease, With and Without Copper
For organic vintners, copper-based sprays have proven to be the most effective tool for combatting downy mildew. Prevalent in regions with warm, humid springs and summers, the fungal disease can wipe out entire vintages. Left untreated, it can even kill grapevines. For organic producers in large parts of northern Europe and the eastern U.S., copper is therefore not just a tool, but a necessity.

Using indigenous yeast from a winemaker’s perspective
No matter what your winemaking style, the wine region you are from, the grape variety you are working with, how many trophies you have won or what football team you barrack for – one thing stays reliably constant in winemaking: the sugars (carbohydrates) in grapes are turned into alcohol and carbon dioxide by tiny legends called yeast. This is the glory of fermentation.

Dimethyl dicarbonate (DMDC) is a chemical antimicrobial additive that can be used in addition to sulfur
dioxide when there is increased risk of microbiological growth in wine. Its main use has been as an
insurance policy when bottling wines with residual sugar or as a control against Brettanomyces or other
viable microorganisms when adequate levels of sulfur dioxide or filtration are not achievable. In this
