Charakterisierung Der Neuen Rebsorte 'Donauveltliner' ('Klbg. 1979') MITT EILUNGEN KLOSTERNEUBURG 70 (2020): 44-61 REGNER et al. CHARA KTERISIERUNG DER NEUEN REBSORTE 'DONAUVELTLINER' ('KLBG. 1979') Ferdinand Regner, Natascha Trimmel, Cornelia Eisenheld, Robert Hack, Andreas Rockenbauer, Christian Philipp, Stefan Nauer, Erich Ferschl und Christian Eitler HBLA und BA für Wein- und Obstbau Klosterneuburg A-3400 Klosterneuburg, Wiener Straße 74 E-Mail: [email protected] Die Rebsorte 'Donauveltliner' (DV) ist eine für den heimischen Weinbau zuletzt freigegebene Weißweinrebsorte mit erhöhter Pilzwiderstandsfähigkeit (Piwi). Die Sorte stellt eine genetische Kombination von 'Grüner Veltliner' (GV) und der mehltaufesten Sorte 'Seyval blanc' (SB) dar. Die Selektion des Genotyps aus der gewonnenen Popu- lation wurde unter Zuhilfenahme der Beobachtungen in der weinbaulichen Prüfung, der weinsensorischen Qualitä- ten sowie des genetischen Potentiales durchgeführt. Die weinbauliche Prüfung basiert auf jahrelanger Beobachtung zuletzt auch in den verschiedenen Weinbaugebieten. Besonders wurde auf das Ausmaß der Pilzwiderstandsfähigkeit geachtet. Das weinsensorische Potential der Sorte basiert auf der günstigen Zucker/Säure-Relation, den ausbalan- cierten Geschmacksstoff en und den wahrnehmbaren Aromakomponenten. Diese wurden für den 'Donauveltliner' auch im Vergleich zur Elternsorte 'Grüner Veltliner' ermitt elt. Chromosomale Selektion ermöglichte dann, jenen Genotyp auszuwählen, der die meisten Traminer-abstämmigen Allele vererbt bekommen hatt e. Die Rebe wurde bereits registriert und in einigen Bundesländern klassifi ziert. Seit 2018 kann aus der Rebe Rebsortenwein nach dem Weingesetz hergestellt werden. Die weitere Entwicklung der Rebsorte liegt nun vor allem bei den Winzern und deren Verbänden, aber letztendlich hängt der Erfolg von der Akzeptanz durch die Konsumenten ab. Schlagwörter: Neuzüchtung, Piwi, chromosomale Selektion, Aromatik Characterisation of the new grape variety 'Donauveltliner (Klbg.1979)'. Th e grape variety 'Donauveltliner' (DV) is a recently approved white wine grape variety with increased fungus resistance (piwi). Th e variety represents a genetic combination of 'Grüner Veltliner' (GV) with the mildew-resistant variety 'Seyval blanc' (SB). Th e selection of the genotype from the obtained population was carried out with the help of observations in the viticultural exami- nation, the wine sensory qualities and the genetic potential. Th e viticultural examination is based on many years of observation, including the various wine regions. Particular att ention was paid to the extent of fungus resistance. Th e wine sensory potential of the variety is based on the favorable sugar-acid ratio, the balanced fl avors and the notice- able aroma components. Th ese were determined for the 'Donauveltliner' in comparison to the parent variety 'Grü- ner Veltliner'. Chromosomal selection then allowed to select the genotype that had inherited most Traminer-born alleles. Th e vine has already been registered and classifi ed insome federal countries. Since 2018 varietal wine can be produced from the variety according to the Wine Law. Th e further development of the grape variety is now mainly with the winemakers and their associations, but ultimately success depends on customers' acceptance.

Reasons for this bias likely include hybrid cultivars being perceived as lower quality than European cultivars, lack of knowledge of available hybrid cultivars, personal preference, and misinformation.

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.

Read, Extension Horticulturist and Professor of Horticulture Stephen J. Gamet, Research Technologist In recent years, interest in grape production and win- ery development has increased tremendously in Nebraska and the Midwest. This increased interest has led to a need for detailed information on vineyard establishment and commercial grape production. A successful winery must have a ready source of consistently high- quality fruit that is available every year. Fortunately for Nebraska growers, many locations through- out the state provide the essential resources of quality soil, water, and abundant sunshine. The experience of growers and University of Nebraska– Lincoln research have demon- strated that many sites are suitable for growing grapes of excellent quality that can be finished into wines of excep- tional quality. Do your homework: Before embarking upon the Figure 1.
