    Forbidden Fruits: The fabulous destiny of Noah, Othello, Isabelle, Jacquez, Clinton and Herbemont ARCHE NOAH, Brussels and Vienna, April 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Noah, Othello, Isabelle, Jacquez, Clinton and Herbemont are six of the wine grape varieties whose turbulent history in Europe begins with the invasion of the vermin Phylloxera (Viteus vitifoliae) in the 19th century. Because of their natural resistance to Phylloxera, these varieties from North American breeders or from spontaneous crosses, were imported, amongst others, and used to counter the plague. Common strategies were to use breeds based on North American species as rootstocks to which European Vitis vinifera varieties were grafted, as well as to use them in longer term resistance breeding programs, primarily to infuse their resistance into Vitis vinifera. These varieties were, however, also directly planted in winegrowers’ fields. This particular practice gave them the name “direct producers” or “direct producer wines”. The term came to cover native American species as such (Vitis aestivalis, V. labrusca, V. riparia, V. rupestris), but also the first generation hybrids obtained from interspecific crossings, either with each other, or with the European common species Vitis vinifera, all the while maintaining their resistance to Phylloxera. Today, direct producer varieties are grown in several European countries, and wine is still produced from their harvest. Strangely though, the planting of some of them for the purpose of wine production is forbidden. Indeed, in the course of the direct producer’s 150-year history in Europe, first national, and then European laws have adopted a dramatically restrictive and unfairly discriminatory approach to certain direct producers and to hybrids, beginning mostly from the 1930s.

  • Uhudler") Und Des Traubensafts Von Reb-Interspezieshybriden Des Südburgenlandes
    MITTEILUNGEN KLOSTERNEUBURG 69 (2019): 40-58 TSCHEIK et al. CHARAKTERISIERUNG DES WEINS ("UHUDLER") UND DES TRAUBENSAFTS VON REB-INTERSPEZIESHYBRIDEN DES SÜDBURGENLANDES Gabriele Tscheik , Helmut Gangl, Maria Batusic und Wolfgang Tiefenbrunner Bundesamt für Weinbau A-7000 Eisenstadt, Gölbeszeile 1 E-Mail: [email protected] Als "Uhudler" wird der aus den Trauben von Rebhybriden verschiedener Vitis-Arten mit Standort Südburgenland (Bezirke Güssing und Jennersdorf) gekelterte Wein bezeichnet. Wein und Reben sind bislang wenig untersucht. Im Rahmen der hier vorliegenden Studie wurden die Traubensäfte verschiedener Rebhybriden chemisch analysiert, so- wie Uhudler und Edelrebweine verglichen. Aus analytischer Sicht unterscheiden sich die Traubensäfte von Uhud- ler- und Edelreben durch den bei an sich vergleichbarer Reife höheren Gehalt einiger Säuren. Dies ist allerdings bei der Sorte 'Concord' nicht der Fall. Generell reift der Traubensaft von Weißwein- rascher als der von Rotweinsorten, unabhängig davon, ob es sich um Vitis vinifera- oder Interspezies-Hybridsorten handelt. Bezüglich grundlegender Parameter wie Gehalt an Zuckern, Säuren und Alkohol sind die Uhudler im Vergleich zu anderen Weinen unauffällig, die Ethanolkonzentration ist aber mit 10 % bis 12 % eher niedrig. Der Methanolgehalt entspricht annähernd dem von rotem Edelsortenwein. Auch die Konzentration anderer Gärnebenprodukte liegt im allgemein üblichen Bereich für Weine. Die Konzentration von n-Propanol war geringer als in den zum Vergleich herangezogenen Edelsortenweinen. Das Aroma ist verglichen mit Edelsortenweißweinen sehr vielschichtig und zeichnet sich durch vergleichsweise hohe Konzentrationen von Methylanthranilat aus. Nussige, grasig-grüne Geruchskomponenten sowie Citrus-, Rum- und Honigaromen sind im Uhudler besonders ausgeprägt. Schlagwörter: Uhudler, Reb-Interspezieshybrid, Vitis vinifera, Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis aestivalis Characterization of wine ('Uhudler') and grape juice of interspecies vine hybrids from Southern Burgenland.

  • Forbidden Fruits: the Fabulous Destiny of Noah, Othello, Isabelle, Jacquez, Clinton and Herbemont ARCHE NOAH, Brussels and Vienna, 2017
    Forbidden Fruits: The fabulous destiny of Noah, Othello, Isabelle, Jacquez, Clinton and Herbemont ARCHE NOAH, Brussels and Vienna, 2017 Noah, Othello, Isabelle, Jacquez, Clinton and Herbemont are six of the wine grape varieties whose turbulent history in Europe begins with the invasion of the vermin Phylloxera (Viteus vitifoliae) – commonly known as “wine blight” – in the 19th century. Given their natural resistance to Phylloxera, these varieties (among others) were imported from North America during the crises to help counter the plague. They were both used as rootstocks onto which European Vitis vinifera varieties were grafted and in resistance breeding programs to infuse their Phylloxera resistance into Vitis vinifera varieties. The varieties were also directly planted in winegrowers’ fields – this particular practice gave them the name “direct producers” or “direct producer wines”. This term came to cover native American species such as Vitis aestivalis, V. labrusca, V. riparia, V. rupestris, but also the first generation hybrids obtained from crossings (either between each other or with the common European species Vitis vinifera) all the while maintaining the resistance to Phylloxera. THE CURRENT PROHIBITON OF DIRECT PRODUCER VARIETIES Today direct producer varieties are grown in several European countries and wine is still produced from their harvest. Strangely though, the planting of some of these varieties for the purpose of wine production is forbidden. Over the course of the direct producers’ 150-year history in Europe, first national and then European laws have adopted a dramatically restrictive and unfairly discriminatory approach to certain direct producers and hybrids, starting mostly in the 1930s. The main barrier to the development of these wines in current European law relates to the so-called classification system for producing “quality wine for marketing purposes”.

  • ARCHE NOAH Study
    ARCHE NOAH’s motivations to conduct this research Even if ARCHE NOAH has been an advocate for agricultural biodiversity from its inception, the association was not specifically founded to protect the variety called “Noah”. ARCHE NOAH has been striving to preserve and develop the diversity of all cultivated plants for 25 years. We are committed to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity for present and future generations, in order to ensure more efficient adaptation to local and changing environmental conditions, while preserving traditional knowledge attached to genetic resources, more specifically those linked to agricultural practices. To that end, we believe it is not enough to keep genetic resources in gene banks or scientific institutions, freezing them off for future research. ARCHE NOAH strongly advocates that these resources be cultivated, and made available to and by farmers to safeguard not only the basis of agriculture, but also the richness of flavours that enhance our quality of life. Wine grape biodiversity is thus only a portion of our actions for crop diversity, but it rightly exemplifies unjust and unsound laws adopted against socially rooted and environmentally sound practices. In the case of Austria for instance, a due legalisation of so called “direct producer varieties” would ensure the continued existence of Uhudler . It would recognise and support its economic and cultural contribution to the Burgenland region, while releasing wine growers from uncertainty and illegality. Furthermore, having had direct experience in the consumption of Uhudler for obvious research purposes, we can vouch that neither anger excesses, hysteria, tendencies to hallucinations, nor mental and physical degeneration were observed at the time of writing.

  • Uhudler-Reben") Im Weinbaugebiet Südburgenland
    MITTEILUNGEN KLOSTERNEUBURG 67 (2017): 1-19 GANGL et al. DIE PHYTOPATHOLOGISCHEN GEGEBENHEITEN VON INTERSPEZIFISCHEN REBSORTEN ("UHUDLER-REBEN") IM WEINBAUGEBIET SÜDBURGENLAND Helmut Gangl, Gerhard Leitner, Claudia Hack, Andreas Probst und Wolfgang Tiefenbrunner Bundesamt für Weinbau A-7000 Eisenstadt, Gölbeszeile 1 E-Mail: [email protected] Als "Uhudler" wird der aus den Trauben von Rebhybriden verschiedener Vitis-Arten mit Standort Südburgenland (Bezirke Güssing und Jennersdorf) gekelterte Wein bezeichnet. Wein und Reben sind bislang in phytopathologischer Hinsicht wenig untersucht. Im Rahmen dieser Studie wurde die Verbreitung von virösen und bakteriellen Pathogenen und deren Ausbreitungspotenzial in Uhudler-Rebanlagen erhoben und mit dem von Edelreben gleichen Standorts verglichen. Die Analyse erfolgte auf 15 verschiedene Viren und drei Bakterien. In 5 % der Reben war Agrobacterium vitis nachweisbar, aufgrund der geringen Anzahl war es nicht möglich, quantitative Unterschiede zwischen Edel- und Uhudler-Reben zu untersuchen. Flavescence dorée phytoplasma ließ sich nicht und Candidatus Phytoplasma solani nur an zehn Reben nachweisen, acht davon waren Uhudler-Reben. Verschiedene Vektoren konnten gefunden wer- den. Für Flavescence dorée phytoplasma sind das die Zikaden Scaphoideus titanus und Orientus ishidae, für Candida- tus Phytoplasma solani Hyalesthes obsoletus und Reptalus quinquecostatus. S. titanus war an den meisten Standorten häufig, wobei die Nymphen in der Laubwand der Uhudler-Reben abundanter waren als in jener der Edelreben. Bei den Imagines war die Abundanz bei der Sorte 'Concord' im Vergleich zu 'Welschriesling' signifikant höher. Hyalesthes obsoletus fand sich nur in der Laubwand von Edelreben. Sechs Viren konnten festgestellt werden, das häufigste davon GLRaV I, das in Edelreben wesentlich abundanter ist als in Uhudler-Reben. Für die anderen Viren konnte kein signi- fikanter Häufigkeitsunterschied aufgezeigt werden, auch nicht für GFkV, das ebenfalls in einer großen Anzahl Reben vorhanden war.
