Cheers. ​​​​​Week 1: Getting to Know Indiana Wines By Natalie van Hoose Indiana's grapes have to be tough enough to withstand Midwestern winters, which is why many of them are hybrids rather than pure Vitis vinifera, the species traditionally grown in the mild climates of Europe. This week, state winemakers and Purdue viticulture specialist Bruce Bordelon describe four varieties—two whites and two reds—that are putting Indiana's vineyards on the map. https://ag.purdue.edu/agricultures/Pages/ThroughTheGrapevine/01-IndianaVarieties.aspx#.XYz-hXt7nAI[9/26/19, 2:08:19 PM] Week 1: Getting to Know Indiana Wines Traminette Indiana's signature grape, Traminette, flourishes in all parts of the state. Cold-hardy and disease-resistant, it produces a floral, aromatic white wine with a hint of spice, comparable to its parent grape Gewürztraminer. Among winemakers, Traminette is Purdue viticulture specialist Bruce Bordelon discusses known for its versatility; depending Traminette, Indiana's signature wine grape. Traminette yields a floral, aromatic white wine with a on how the wine is finished, it can hint of spice. be dry, semi-dry, sweet or even sparkling, and it can possess a variety of floral notes, such as lilac or rose petal. Winemaker's notes: Traminette is what a bartender might call a "friendly" wine. Its floral qualities and lack of bitterness make it enjoyable, even for folks who are new to drinking wine. "It's a good wine for beginners," says Jeff Martin, winemaker at Easley Winery and a Purdue alumnus in horticulture. "It's usually semi-sweet to semi-dry, and it goes very well with Indiana pork dishes." Easley Winery's Traminette took home a trophy for White Wine of the Year at the 2013 Indy International Wine Competition. Food pairings: Martin recommends pairing Traminette with pork tenderloin or a bleu cheese and bacon hamburger. Also consider trying Traminette with spicy dishes, such as curries. https://ag.purdue.edu/agricultures/Pages/ThroughTheGrapevine/01-IndianaVarieties.aspx#.XYz-hXt7nAI[9/26/19, 2:08:19 PM] Week 1: Getting to Know Indiana Wines Vignoles Developed in response to the phylloxera pest that wiped out many of Europe's vineyards, Vignoles (pronounced vin-YOHL’) is an old French hybrid that is well adapted to growing in the Midwest. While Vignoles could be considered Purdue viticulture specialist Bruce Bordelon talks a semi-dry white wine because of its about Vignoles, an old French hybrid grape that low level of residual sugar, its produces a semi-dry white wine with unique tropical qualities. Vignoles wines won Wine of the Year at the tropical fruit qualities give it a Indy International Wine Competition in 2012 and 2013. pleasant sweetness. It is characterized by flavors of pineapple, honey or melon. Winemaker's notes: Despite its rich history, Vignoles has only recently begun enjoying a moment of fame. Vignoles wines won Wine of the Year at the Indy International Wine Competition in 2012 and 2013. This year's award went to Huber Winery, where Dana Huber says Vignoles has long been a favorite. "It's always very well-received in our tasting room," Huber says. "People are bashful about trying a semi-dry wine but pleased once they do. The tropical fruit on the palate makes it approachable. There's nothing else quite like it. It really holds its own." Food pairings: Huber suggests serving Vignoles with creamy cheeses such as havarti and sweet Swiss and salads or bitter greens like arugula. Chambourcin Regarded as Indiana's best red https://ag.purdue.edu/agricultures/Pages/ThroughTheGrapevine/01-IndianaVarieties.aspx#.XYz-hXt7nAI[9/26/19, 2:08:19 PM] Week 1: Getting to Know Indiana Wines variety, Chambourcin (pronounced SHAM’-ber-sin) is another old French hybrid bred to withstand the phylloxera pest. It's a late-ripening grape that fares best in the southern part of the state. Chambourcin has moderate tannins Purdue viticulture specialist Bruce Bordelon and can be made into a semi-dry showcases Chambourcin grapes, Indiana's most widely grown red variety. Chambourcin produces a table wine or a blush. When rich, semi-dry table wine with notes of cherry and finished on the light side, it has blackberry. strawberry and raspberry flavors; on the drier side, it exudes darker berries such as blackberry and cherry. Winemaker's notes: Until two years ago, Wildcat Creek Winery's Rick Black would never have considered making Chambourcin. "It was my least favorite variety," he says. But needing a semi-dry red wine, he decided to swallow his skepticism and give Chambourcin a shot. "As a juice, it tasted great. It had a nice, fruity flavor, and it smelled tremendous," he says. "But I thought at some point it was going to trick me. I was holding my breath through the whole fermentation process, waiting for it to turn funny." Then the moment arrived when Black poured himself a glass of the sweet reserve, the point at which the wine was essentially done but could be adjusted for balance. Nervous, he tasted the wine. "I said, 'Oh, my God. This is really good.' We didn't have to make any changes. It was perfect the way it was." He wasn't alone in his admiration. Wildcat Creek Winery's Chambourcin cleaned up at the 2012 Indy International Wine Competition, winning a double gold medal, Best of Class and Indiana Wine of the Year. Food pairings: Chambourcin's richness makes it an ideal partner to beef, pork and pasta dishes. Black also recommends trying it with a decadent chocolate dessert. Noiret A newcomer to Indiana's wine https://ag.purdue.edu/agricultures/Pages/ThroughTheGrapevine/01-IndianaVarieties.aspx#.XYz-hXt7nAI[9/26/19, 2:08:19 PM] Week 1: Getting to Know Indiana Wines scene, Noiret (pronounced nwar- AY’) may be the best alternative red variety to Chambourcin. While it has low sugar and acid levels, Noiret is often prized as a blending grape because of its pepper and mint flavors, rich Purdue viticulture specialist Bruce Bordelon talks coloring and bold tannins. about Noiret, a newcomer to the Indiana wine scene. Most often used in red wine blends, Noiret is known for its deep color, moderate tannins, and peppery Winemaker's notes: quality. According to winemaker Larry Satek of Satek Winery, the peppery nature of Noiret can be overwhelming in a stand-alone varietal, which is why it's more often used in a blend. "Noiret has very intense black pepper characteristics—more black pepper than one would want," he says. "But in a blend, its black pepper and tannins make a much broader tasting wine," he says. He uses Noiret in Larry's Luscious Dry Red, a blend that won Indiana- Grown French-American Wine of the Year at the 2013 Indy International Wine Competition. "Wine writers have said it's like a Bordeaux blend," he says. "They're amazed that it comes from local grapes." In years when the grapes taste less peppery, Satek makes a varietal Noiret. "That's when it has nice fruit flavors, a bit of oak, and those tannins will soften up over time and become quite drinkable," he says. "Noiret's a new grape. We're still learning." Food pairings: Satek recommends serving Noiret with hearty red meats such as steak and lamb. Credits: Photos by Tom Campbell. Videos by Kelsey Getzin. Web version by Andrew Banta.

    GRAPE DISEASE CONTROL, 2018 Bryan Hed, Department of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology, Penn State University, Lake Erie Regional Grape Research and Extension Center, North East PA 16428 ([email protected]) As many of you know Wayne Wilcox, who has annually provided us with an incredibly thorough grape disease management update each spring, has retired. Filling Wayne's shoes is going to be a tall task to say the least, and the search for his replacement goes on. For now, I will attempt to provide a brief summary of some of the pertinent changes in grape disease control that I hope will be useful for grape growers in the 2018 season. For consistency, I'll roughly be using Wayne's format from his previous newsletter from June of 2017. FUNGICIDE CHANGES, NEWS, & REVIEWS Here is some new, and sort of new information regarding grape fungicides in 2018. First, Aprovia/Aprovia Top. The active ingredient in Aprovia is solatenol (benzovindiflupyr), and while it does not represent a new chemical class for us grape growers (succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor or SDHI) it is one of those 'new generation' SDHIs that Wayne spoke of last year. The SDHI fungicides belong to FRAC Group 7, which also includes chemistries in products like Endura and Pristine (boscalid) and Luna Experience (fluopyram). Aprovia was available for use in most states last year, but has now been labeled for use in New York as well. As a solo product, Aprovia is very effective for the control of powdery mildew as trials in NY over several years have shown.

Generally speaking, an object will float in a fluid if its density is less than that of the fluid (densltyemass/volume). If the object is more dense than the fluid, then the object will sink. For example, an empty bottle will float in a bathtub that is filled with water if the bottle is less dense than the water.

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. Profiles and Challenges…continued… • The unpredictable continental climate of Oklahoma is one of the foremost obstacles for potential grape growers. • It is essential that appropriate site selection be done prior to planting. • Many locations in Oklahoma are unsuitable for most grapes, including hybrids and American grapes. • Growing grapes in Oklahoma is a risky endeavor and minimization of potential loss by consideration of cultivar and environmental interactions is paramount to ensure long-term success. • There are areas where some European cultivars may succeed. • Many hybrid and American grapes are better suited for most areas of Oklahoma than

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.
