1 Status Report of Vitis Germplasm in GEORGIA David Maghradze Status Report of Vitis germplasm in GEORGIA David Maghradze Institute of Horticulture, Viticulture and Oenology Georgian Agricultural University, 13 km. David Aghmashenebeli Alley. 0131. Tbilisi. Georgia 1. Importance of the Viticulture in the country According to the last national Agro Census (2004) there were 37419 ha of vineyards in Georgia in 2004. The total production of grapes in Georgia is given below: Grape production (Mt) in Georgia during last 20 years 1992 328000 1993 352334 1994 284500 1995 422400 1996 311300 1997 309100 1998 234496 1999 220000 2000 210000 2001 150000 2002 90000 2003 200000 2004 180000 2005 250294 2006 162500 2007 227300 2008 175800 2009 150100 2010 120700 2011 159600 Sources: http://www.fao.org/corp/statistics/en/ http://geostat.ge/index 1 Fig 1. Grape production in Georgia in the last 20 years Fig. 2. Grape production in Georgia during the 21st century Most of the grapes are used for wine making purposes. Few are table grapes (about 1%).

Sanitary status still stays the main problem for several our collections due to leakiness of guaranteed funding for their management. 3. Status of characterization of the collections For most of collections the FAO-Bioversity Multicrop Passport Descriptors are completed. For ‘Shumi’, ‘Jighaura’ and ‘Kindzmarauli’ collections their preparation is in progress. In the ‘Skra 1’ collection all Georgian native varieties and 19 local breeding new varieties and forms have been characterised by OIV descriptors (48 descriptors suggested in COST project) in previous and recent year. Phenological observation is also organised in this year for most varieties in the collection. The photos of grape organs have been takes. 310 varieties from ‘Kindzmarauli’, ‘Jighaura’, ‘Telavi 1’ and ‘Shumi’ collection have been characterised by IPGRI (1997) descriptors in 2010. 150 Georgian varieties from Gorizia collection (Italy) were characterised by 59 ampelographic and 84 ampelometric descriptors; Phenological records for 5 years were collected; Antocianin profiles for 84 coloured varieties were evaluated. 4.

Table grapes In spite of consumption some amount of table grape in Georgia commercial plantation of table grapes is imitated in the country. The most plantations are available in backyards and grapes are used mostly for domestic consumption. Recently some companies like “Khareba” winery or “AGRO” Centre made plantation of Table grape. Table 3.

Selection or breeding programmes in course The recently funded programme not available. Our department is keeping in collections several breeding forms from previous programs, worked in Georgia in XX century. Twelve table grape forms among those can be recognised as candidates for registration of new varieties. 8. Clonal selection status Recently no one clonal selection program works in the country in spite of tradition of XX century. 9. Catalogue or reliable publication with a list of the confirmed synonymies The list of Georgian cultivars and rootstocks, recommended for cultivation, has been prepared in the framework of GrapeGen06 project, was published in the journal “Vitis” (Lacomber et al. 2011) and at the European Vitis Database. An official catalogue or reliable publication for all grape genetic resources of Georgia not available in the country. This information, but fragmentised, is available in scientific literature published in various period. 4 10. Number of endangered cultivars Exact number and precise list not known for this moment, while preparation of the list of new ‘Jighaura’, ‘Kindzmarauli’ and ‘Shumi’ collections is under progress. We just can do approximately calculation based on previous (year 2004) inventory of collections made in the framework of Bioversity International project: i) number of unique names of autochthonous varieties, protected in our collections (‘Dighomi’, ‘Vashlijvari’, ‘Mukhrani’, ‘Telavi 1’, ‘Skra 1’) was 300. ii) According to Ketskhoveli et al. (1960) total number of Georgian autochthonous varieties is 525. iii) So maximum 225 varieties can be recognised as endangered varieties. In reality this number is less for today due to large number of varieties protected in three new collections mentioned above. 11. Main international varieties cultivated Table 4.

Use of microsatellites in characterization Microsatelites are used for characterisation of Georgian grape germplasm since 2006 (Maghradze et al. 2009) with collaboration University of Milan and INRA-Montpellier. At the beginning 147 accessions was characterized by 6 basic SSR markers. After of this 135 accessions - including 22 wild grapes from Georgia - were characterised by 20 SSR markers (Imazio et al. 2010). In this year 11 SSR markers were used for characterisation of 46 Georgian native varieties (Maghradze et. al. 2012) in the framework of COST project. 5 14. Sanitary status of the propagated material There is not any law or centralised regulation requesting obligatory checking for sanitary status of planting materials. But nurseries tried to keep materials free of virus as they can do by their self. For example like “ARGO” established virus testing laboratory; another nurseries have planted virus free mother materials for propagation. 15.

  • Best Wine Bar List – Dear Sainte Éloise
    “Dear Sainte Éloise, if you exist, please send me some money. I don’t ask for much — just enough to buy some bread and a bottle of wine” – George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London, 1933 We love this story. A young and desperate protagonist, destitute on the streets of Paris, praying to a photograph of a saint who is later revealed to be nothing more than a famous prostitute. It’s a funny scene with a great punchline and best of all: his wish comes true. He gets his wine and his bread, and he is restored. We too understand the happiness that simple pleasures can provide, when a solitary glass of wine can change your entire day. That’s why we built Dear Sainte Éloise – a place of simple pleasures and replenishment, and happiness, too. We like to think of this bar as a place where journeys are made and connections are forged. The pages of this wine list are filled with wines that have the ability to transport the drinker away from the everyday to fantastic faraway lands – from the beloved wine regions of Australia, to the incomparable sites of Europe, and beyond. This is a list that celebrates the great winemakers, who have defined what wine can and should be. But it’s a list that also gives a voice to the young, entrepreneurial and experimental winemakers of the present – those who will help define wine’s future. We believe that wine is an interconnected community full of sharing and learning, creating and drinking.

  • Biological and Technological Characteristics of Georgian Wine and Table Grapes
    BIO Web of Conferences 5, 01012 (2015) DOI: 10.1051/bioconf/20150501012 © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2015 Biological and technological characteristics of Georgian wine and table grapes Levan Ujmajuridze and Londa Mamasakhlisashvili LEPL Scientific-Research Center of Agriculture, 6 Marshal Gelovani Ave., 0159 Tbilisi, and Georgia Abstract. Georgian grapevine germplasm, which has formed for thousands of years, includes white, black, red, pink and grey 525 Vitis vinifera cultivars. In 2009–2014 up to 440 local grapevine varieties Vitis vinifera sativa has been restored. These varieties are cultivated in the LEPL Agriculture Scientific-Research Center grapevine collection GEO 038, Mtskheta Munisipal, village Jighaura, at an altitude 550 m. There are retrieved and recorded in the collection up to 60 forms of Vitis vinifera silvestris. In order to study biological and technological characteristics of Georgian grapevine, in 2012–2014 were investigated 50 Georgian widely cultivated white and colored wine and table grapes varieties, in the seven viticulture regions of Georgia. Description of grapevine varieties implemented through the descriptors for grapevine (IPGRI OIV). Botanical, biological- technological, qualitative and quantitative marks are characterized and evaluated. Investigation conducted during the biologic development phases were studied for chemical and eno-carpological characteristics. History of grapevine culture is strongly connected with Phonological development of phases studied and their the history of Georgian nation. Creation and formation technological properties were studied based on grapes juice of local rich assortment was due to the longest cultivation chemical indicators and eno-carpological characteristics. period that made Georgia one of the leading country.

  • In Association With
    In association with... Welcome to the 2019 Real Wine Fair! The Real Wine Fair is an independent festival of natural growers and winemakers, comprising those who work organically and/or biodynamically and with few or zero interventions in the winery. That said, real wine is relative rather than an absolute or precise term and embodies a certain spirit of endeavour in the vineyard and the winery. We understand that each grower has a highly specific approach; we should celebrate those differences. Real wines tend to be made in small quantities by artisan or independent producers who work without chemicals (which means no artificial fertilisers, pesticides or herbicides) in low yielding vineyards and then vinify without artificial yeasts or enzymes, or recourse to acidification or other adjustments. Many are made with only tiny amounts of added sulphur and some with none at all. ‘Nowt taken out and nowt put in’, as the saying goes. The motivation is to rediscover the true flavour of wine by capturing the sense of place (terroir) and the very nature of the vintage. These wines are individual, hand-crafted, thrilling and unpredictable. They remind us that wine can be a living thing rather than a denatured product and that less intervention means more real flavour. This booklet contains details of hundreds of wines from many countries around the world presented by growers and winemakers who have stories to tell. We hope you enjoy these wines as much as we do. And if you want to buy a bottle or several, or order something you have tasted at the fair there is a pop-up shop by the entrance of the main hall! And wine is only part of the Fair.
