Solaris – the New Grape Variety for Sylt Solaris – The New Grape Variety for Sylt An ideal grape variety for Sylt – according to Professor Dr. Löhnertz of the oenological research institute in Geisenheim/Rheingau – would ripen early to mid-early; have flowering firmness; and have loosely- packed clusters. These are, among others, the traits of the white grape variety Solaris, which was bred by Norbert Becker in 1975 at the State Viticultural Institute in Freiburg/Baden. It is a crossing of Merzling x GM 6493. The latter (Gm = Geisenheim) was originally part of a seedling population that Professor V. Kraus crossed in 1964, from the varietals Zarya Severa and Muskat-Ottonel in (then) Czechoslovakia. Solaris has large, three-lobed, dark green leaves. Its grapes are medium large. Budburst, blossoming and véraison (onset of ripening) all take place about a week earlier compared with traditional grape varieties. Solaris is also frost-resistant. It is not particularly demanding in terms of site since grape musts usually reach 100 degrees Oechsle by the beginning of September. Furthermore, Solaris is not very vulnerable to fungal disease and it brings forth a good-sized crop. The grape received varietal protection in 2001 and was added to the official grape registry in 2004. As of late April 2009, there were 59 ha (146 acres) of Solaris planted in Germany. Its name derives from sol , Latin for sun, and literally means “of the sun.” Up until now, Solaris has been cultivated primarily in the German wine-growing region Baden (Markgräflerland) and in the Swiss canton Zürich (Winterthur). There are also a few plantings in Denmark. Based on experience thus far, the appeal of the future wine lies in its spicy and fruity aroma.

The regulations are particularly severe for wine and include various aspects of the viticulture practices and winemaking techniques. Nevertheless, the use of phenolic profiles for quality control is still fragmented and incomplete, even if they are a promising tool for quality evaluation. Only a few methods have been already validated and widely applied, and an integrated approach is in fact still missing because of the complex dependence of the chemical profile of wine on many viticultural and enological factors, which have not been clarified yet. For example, there is a lack of studies about the phenolic composition in relation to the wine authenticity of white and especially rosé wines. This review is a bibliographic account on the approaches based on phenolic species that have been developed for the evaluation of wine quality and frauds, from the grape varieties (of V.

Owing to the superior quality of their grapes, these cultivars were long considered the only suitable for the production of high quality wines. However, the lack of resistance genes to fungal diseases like powdery and downy mildew (Uncinula necator and Plasmopara viticola) makes it necessary the application of huge amounts of chemical products in vineyard. Thus, the search for alternative and more sustainable methods to control the major grapevine pathogens have increased the interest in new disease tolerant varieties. Chemical characterisation of these varieties is an important prerequisite to evaluate and promote their use on the global wine market. The aim of this project was to produce a comprehensive study of some promising new disease tolerant varieties recently introduced to the cultivation by identifying the peculiar aspects of their composition and measuring their positive and negative quality traits.

However, Swedish wines remain largely unknown internationally. In this study, the typicality and sensory space of a set of twelve wines, including five Swedish Solaris wines, was evaluated blind by Swedish wine experts. The aim of the work was to evaluate whether the Swedish wine experts have a common concept of what a typical Solaris wines should smell and taste like or not and, also, to bring out more information about the sensory space and chemical composition of Solaris wines. The results showed a lack of agreement among the wine experts regarding the typicality of Solaris wines. This, together with the results from the sensory evaluation, could suggest the possibility of different wine styles for Solaris wines.

Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Faculty of Science and Technology, P.zza Universitá 5, 39100 Bolzano-Bozen, Italy Abstract The effects induced by climatic changes have become more and more evident in wine regions located in mountain areas during the last years. The trend toward an increasing warming of the temperature is determining new ripening dynamics of grape berries that often lead to excessive sugar accumulation in fruits and alcohol development in wines. This fact somehow conflicts with the actual trend of wine markets that is increasingly asking for fresh, easy-to-drink, low alcohol wines. Moreover, other important quality traits of grapes and wines such as color, aroma, acidity and pH are detrimentally affected by ripening processes that occur largely during the hottest period of the season. Against this background, we aimed with this work to investigate the potentiality of different canopy management techniques to control and postpone the ripening process of Sauvignon blanc grapes.

  • Wine Production in Denmark Do the Characteristics of the Vineyards Affect the Chances for Awards?
    WORKING PAPER 09-21 Jan Bentzen and Valdemar Smith Wine production in Denmark Do the characteristics of the vineyards affect the chances for awards? Department of Economics ISBN 9788778824196 (print) ISBN 9788778824202 (online) September 2009 Wine production in Denmark Do the characteristics of the vineyards affect the chances for awards? Jan Bentzen & Valdemar Smith Department of Economics Aarhus School of Business Aarhus University Abstract: By the end of the former century there were less than 10 commercial vintners producing wine in Denmark. There was widespread acceptance of the view that commercial production of wine in the most northern parts of Europe was impossible. However, the number of commercial wine growers in Denmark grew to more tha 60 at the end of 2009 and the Association of Danish Winegrowers now counts more than 1400 members. Denmark can no longer be seen as a non-wine producing country! Formally, the transformation of Denmark to a wine producing country took place in year 2000 when Denmark was accepted as a commercial wine producing nation within the European Union. Based on a remarkably detailed micro data set this paper first gives a description of wine production in Denmark and thereafter we address the question whether vineyard characteristics are important for the quality of the wine and/or whether individual characteristics of the wine grower are important. Using a hedonic model the focus is especially on the importance of general factors like the type of soil, slope, geography, grape variety etc. in relation to the awards obtained by the respective vineyards. --------- We thank Jean Becker, The Association of Danish Winegrowers for data access and participants at the annual VDQS meeting held in Namur, May 2009 and participants at the annual AAWE meeting held in Reims, June 2009 for constructive and helpful comments.

  • Genetics-Assisted Breeding for Downy/Powdery Mildew and Phylloxera Resistance at Fem
    BIO Web of Conferences 12, 01020 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/bioconf/20191201020 41st World Congress of Vine and Wine Genetics-assisted breeding for downy/powdery mildew and phylloxera resistance at fem S. Vezzulli, L. Zulini, and M. Stefaninia Research and Innovation Centre, Fondazione Edmund Mach, via E. Mach 1, 38010 San Michele all’Adige, Italy Abstract. The genetics-assisted program for resistance to biotic stresses began at the Edmund Mach Foundation in 2007 and has developed on two lines. The first line was based on obtaining resistant materials with parents the historical varieties of Trentino. During the three-year period 2015–2017, 3 Teroldego X Merzling genotypes, 3 Marzemino X Merzling genotypes, 1 Nosiola X Bianca genotype and 1 Nosiola X Kulneany genotype were collected the data related to resistance to various fungal diseases both on the leaf and on the bunch. At harvest the plant production data and the must characteristics were recorded; the grapes were vinified and for each year the wines were subjected to sensorial analysis. 5 resistant selections were considered interesting for all the characteristics found and therefore the data for the registration to the National Register of Grapevine Varieties will be collected. The second line of research was based on the retrieval and both genotypic and phenotypic characterization of potentially parental lines acquired from foreign breeding programs and of wild materials. Once the crossings have been planned and obtained, the evaluation of the progeny takes place following a process of Marker-Assisted Selection optimized in order to maintain a compromise between efficiency and cost containment.
