The three new grapes-'Noiret'™, 'Corot noir'™ and 'Valvin Muscat'™-were developed and tested by Bruce Reisch, grape breeder and professor of horticultural sciences at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, N.Y., in cooperation with Thomas Henick-Kling, professor of enology at the Experiment Station and leader of Cornell's enology program. "All three grapes are broadly adapted to the wine growing regions in the East, and produce high quality varietal wines that are superior to those currently available to Eastern growers today," said Reisch. 'Corot noir'™, a mid- to late-season red wine 'Noiret'™ (pronounced "nwahr-ay"), a mid-season red wine grape, is a complex grape, is a complex interspecific hybrid resulting interspecific hybrid resulting from a cross made in 1973 between NY65.0467.08 and from a cross made in 1970 between Seyve Villard 'Steuben'. 18-307 and 'Steuben'. "'Noiret'™ represents a distinct improvement in the red wine varietal options available Credit: Bruce Reisch - NYSAES, Cornell University to cold-climate grape growers," said Reisch. -
Matching Grape Varieties to Sites Are Hybrid Varieties Right for Oklahoma?
Matching Grape Varieties to Sites Are hybrid varieties right for Oklahoma? Bruce Bordelon Purdue University Wine Grape Team 2014 Oklahoma Grape Growers Workshop 2006 survey of grape varieties in Oklahoma: Vinifera 80%. Hybrids 15% American 7% Muscadines 1% Profiles and Challenges…continued… • V. vinifera cultivars are the most widely grown in Oklahoma…; however, observation and research has shown most European cultivars to be highly susceptible to cold damage. • More research needs to be conducted to elicit where European cultivars will do best in Oklahoma. • French-American hybrids are good alternatives due to their better cold tolerance, but have not been embraced by Oklahoma grape growers... 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 -

Guide H-309: Grape Varieties for North-Central New Mexico
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL, CONSUMER AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Grape Varieties for North-central New Mexico Revised by William “Gill” Giese and Kevin Lombard1 aces.nmsu.edu/pubs • Cooperative Extension Service • Guide H-309 The College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences is an engine for economic and community development in New © Alika1712 | Dreamstime.com INTRODUCTION Mexico, improving Grapes (Vitis spp.) are the most widely grown perennial fruit crop in the world. They are grown in home gardens for fruit and landscape the lives of New purposes or commercially for wine, raisins, or fresh consumption as “table” grapes. A cultivated variety, or “cultivar,” is a formal term for Mexicans through variety. Variety is the more common term, and will be used in this publication. Selecting grape varieties that are adapted to prevailing academic, research, climatic and soil conditions is an important step before planting. Very few locations above 6,000 feet in elevation are successful grape pro- and Extension duction sites. Suitable growing conditions at lower elevations are still very site-specific due to the major threat to grape culture: winter or programs. frost injury. Winter injury occurs at subfreezing temperatures during vine dormancy when no green tissue is present. Frost injury occurs at subfreezing temperatures when green tissue is present. A variety’s win- ter hardiness, or ability to withstand cold temperatures, depends on its genetic makeup or “type.” In addition to winter hardiness, other considerations when selecting a variety are its fruit characteristics, number of frost-free days required for ripening, disease susceptibility, yield potential, growth habit, and other cultural requirements. -
Chemical Characteristics of Wine Made by Disease Tolerant Varieties
UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI UDINE in agreement with FONDAZIONE EDMUND MACH PhD School in Agricultural Science and Biotechnology Cycle XXX Doctoral Thesis Chemical characteristics of wine made by disease tolerant varieties PhD Candidate Supervisor Silvia Ruocco Dr. Urska Vrhovsek Co-Supervisor Prof. Doris Rauhut DEFENCE YEAR 2018 To the best gift that life gave us: to you Nonna Rosa CONTENTS Abstract 1 Aim of the PhD project 2 Chapter 1 Introduction 3 Preface to Chapter 2 17 Chapter 2 The metabolomic profile of red non-V. vinifera genotypes 19 Preface to Chapter 3 and 4 50 Chapter 3 Study of the composition of grape from disease tolerant varieties 56 Chapter 4 Investigation of volatile and non-volatile compounds of wine 79 produced by disease tolerant varieties Concluding remarks 140 Summary of PhD experiences 141 Acknowledgements 142 Abstract Vitis vinifera L. is the most widely cultivated Vitis species around the world which includes a great number of cultivars. 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. -

Professor, Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK R. K. Striegler, Director- ICCVE, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO Introduction The emerging Oklahoma grape industry needs grape cultivar performance data localized as much as possible to facilitate decision making by present and prospective grape growers. Likewise, as grape acreage increases, information on rootstock performance will be needed to allow growers to make informed decisions relative to best management cultural practices. The purpose of this study was to compare winter hardiness, yield, and quality of various grape cultivars (Vinifera, American, and Hybrids) either grafted or own rooted, under various vineyard conditions in Oklahoma. Materials and Methods The trial was established with grower cooperators at Woodland Park Vineyard near Stillwater in Payne County, Prairie Wind Vineyard near Burns Flat in Washita County and at Rohrer Farm near Buffalo in Harper County, Oklahoma. Red and white Vinifera, American, and Hybrid varieties listed below were selected to allow comparison of hardy with less hardy varieties in varying Oklahoma climates. Cultivar Color Type 1.

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. Sloping sites facilitate air drainage since cold air is heavier potentially risky venture of growing grapes for wine than warm air and flows downhill (air drainage). production, garner as much information as you can.
