The landscape mingles with the vines and cereal crops – an ever-changing canvas of colour: intensely green towards the end of winter, the colour of straw at the end of spring, and deep ochre during the final months of summer. 1 All over the Alentejo there are archaeological markers suggesting that wine has Historybeen an important part of life up to the present day. Whilst it is not known exactly when wine and viticulture was introduced to the Alentejo, there is plenty of evidence that they were already part of the day-to-day life in the Alentejo by the time the Romans arrived in the south of Portugal. It is thought that the Tartessians, an ancient civilisation based in the south of the Iberian Peninsula and heirs of the Andalusian Megalithic culture, were the first to domesticate vineyards and introduce winemaking principles in the Alentejo.

  • Varietiesportuguese GRAPE VARIETIES
    VarietiesPORTUGUESE GRAPE VARIETIES For the most part Portuguese grape growers have wisely resisted the impulse to plant “foreign” grape varieties and instead have gone forward with making wines that are uniquely regional. So at a time when critics complain that wines from throughout the world are beginning to taste similar, Portugal’s commitment to native varieties means that it continues to make indigenous styles of wine. This means that although winemakers may be fermenting and aging wines in the same manner that their colleagues elsewhere have been doing for some time. Unique conditions and historic grape varieties insure that Portuguese wines will remain distinctively different. The future is very bright, but even today, after only a brief time of orientation to the world market, Portugal is producing some of the world’s most exciting wines, especially when the concept of “value” factors into the equation, as it always must do in assessing any commercial product. Throughout the country better varietals are being planted in more suitable soils and growing conditions. There is a new generation of winemaker eager to discover the quality potential of their properties. The awareness has dawned that the best wine originates in the vineyard. Along with this spirit, a trend has developed to produce varietal wines from native grapes that constitutes one of the most interesting aspects of the current Portuguese wine scene. Quantities are miniscule but the wines have developed a devoted following on the domestic market. Unfortunately few are yet available for export. whiteWHITE VARIETALS ALVARINHO: An aromatic varietal (acacia flowers, apple, honey) this grape produces outstanding white wines in a small sub-region of the Vinho Verde DO around Melgaço and Monção.

  • 1 GRAPE DISEASE CONTROL, 2015 After a 1-Year Hiatus, It's Time Once
    GRAPE DISEASE CONTROL, 2015 Wayne F. Wilcox, Department of Plant Pathology, Cornell University, NY State Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva NY 14456 ([email protected]) After a 1-year hiatus, it’s time once again for the (almost) annual update and review on controlling the fungal diseases that grape growers must regularly contend with in our eastern climate. As always, I’d like to acknowledge the outstanding team of grape pathologists here in Geneva, which includes bacteriologists (Tom Burr’s program) and virologists (Marc Fuchs’s program) in addition to those of us who work on fungal diseases: faculty colleagues and cooperators (David Gadoury, Bob Seem, Lance-Cadle-Davidson); research technicians (including the phoenix-like Duane Riegel, Dave Combs, and Judy Burr); and graduate students and post-docs too numerous to mention here. It truly is the combined research efforts of all of these people that serve as the basis for most of the following. THE WINTER FROM HELL We won’t dwell upon it, but there are going to be some consequences this coming season as a result of our recently-concluded (or so it’s starting to appear) WFH. It’s beyond the scope of this screed to discuss and sometimes lament many of the more obvious issues, but there are a couple of disease-related points that are worth covering briefly: • Phomopsis infection of new suckers. This issue falls into the “observation/speculation” category rather than one that contains relatively well-established facts. That being said, the last time (2004) that upstate NY had winter temperatures that killed top wood in a significant number of locations, I (and others) noticed that sucker growth destined to become new trunks developed an awful lot of Phomopsis infection during the early growing season.

  • Wine Grape Variety Trial for Maritime Western Washington 2000-2008
    Summary of Results: Wine Grape Variety Trial for Maritime Western Washington 2000-2008 Wine Grape Cultivar Trials 2000-2008 in the Cool Maritime Climate of Western WA Gary Moulton, Carol Miles, Jacqueline King, and Charla Echlin WSU Mount Vernon NWREC 16650 State Route 536, Mount Vernon, WA 98273 Tel. 360-848-6150 Email [email protected] http://extension.wsu.edu/maritimefruit/Pages/default.aspx Wines produced from grapes grown in cool climate regions have generally low alcohol content, low viscosity, and high fruit aromas and flavor (Casteel, 1992; Jackson and Schuster, 1977; Zoecklein, 1998). Certain varietals from Germany, Austria Russia, Hungary, and Armenia, as well as some common French varieties such as Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris can produce excellent fruity wines in western Washington. Selection of the right clone is important and knowing the heat units of your site will greatly aid in the selection of which varieties to grow. The cool maritime region of western Washington is on the very low end of the spectrum with respect to the number of growing degree days (GDD) needed for ripening the more common wine grape cultivars. Although the Puget Sound region has a long growing season in terms of frost free days, mesoclimates within the area range from below 1200 GDD to 2200 GDD. The Washington State University Mount Vernon Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center (WSU Mount Vernon NWREC) research site is located at 12 feet above sea level in the Skagit Valley floodplain, 3 miles from the Puget Sound. Since 2002, annual GDD averaged 1693; in 2003 there was a spike in GDD of 1965.

  • Château De Beaucastel Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Rouge 2018
    Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2018 THE VINTAGE The 2018 vintage is characterized by exceptional weather conditions. Flowering took place in the best possible conditions, with a historically abundant grape output. A few rainy episodes at the end of the spring complicated things a little with an attack of mildew, but the good weather then settled down until harvest, which took place under idyllic conditions. The wines are beautiful. DESCRIPTION Château de Beaucastel has long been regarded as one of the greatest wines in France. It is notorious for its elegance, balance, and aging potential. Beaucastel has an exceptional terroir at the northern limit of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, exposed to the Mistral wind. All 13 varieties of the appellation have been organically grown since the 1960s. SITUATION Châteauneuf-du-Pape, between Orange and Avignon, Château de Beaucastel red is a 70-hectare (173-acre) vineyard. TERROIR Château de Beaucastel is 110 hectares (272 acres), with one single plot at the north of the appellation. The terroir is archetypal of the best terroirs in Châteauneuf: rolled pebbles on the surface, sand, clay, and limestone deeper down. The vines are old and have been organically grown for 50 years, which has allowed the roots to grow exceptionally deep. Beaucastel grows all 13 grape varieties authorized by the appellation. PROCESS Each variety is harvested separately and manually. Vinification takes place in oak fermenters for the reductive varieties (Mourvèdre, Syrah) and in traditional enameled concrete tanks for the oxidative grapes (all the others). Once the malolactic fermentation is finished, Famille Perrin blends the different varieties.
