The study of accessions from Argentina may provide a valuable testimony on the origins of the different genetic resources and varieties which were sought and used to develop the vineyard of this country. 54 accessions introduced in the Vassal collection were analyzed using 20 microsatellite markers and ampelographic descriptors. Among them, 43 distinct varieties have been identified: 22 correspond to old traditional wine or table grape varieties from Europe and Middle East, 12 are probably varieties selected in Argentina or South America and are mostly descendants of Muscat of Alexandria and Mission, 4 are seedlings obtained in Italy, USA and Bulgaria, 2 are specific mutants and 3 are still currently original and of undetermined origin. These results highlight the links and help to trace the flows that have existed between the ancient world and Argentina. They are a particularly good example of the interest of the 2 traditional ways of multiplication which may exist for the vine, cuttings and seedlings. Some of these resources are now also highly original and rare and must be preserved. 1.

To achieve this goal, many trials, testing comparisons following the code of description proposed by and introductions of material had to be done. Thereby, OIV [4]. different varieties according to the countries have been introduced and have allowed the development of the viticulture, sometimes by luck, but also by the work and the insight of some growers, researchers, enthusiasts or 3.

  • FABRE MONTMAYOU MENDOZA , a RGENTINA Hervé Joyaux Fabre, Owner and Director of Fabre Montmayou, Was Born in Bordeaux, France, to a Family of Wine Negociants
    FABRE MONTMAYOU MENDOZA , A RGENTINA Hervé Joyaux Fabre, owner and director of Fabre Montmayou, was born in Bordeaux, France, to a family of wine negociants. When he arrived in Argentina in the early 90’s looking for opportunities to invest in vineyards and start a winery, he was impressed by the potential for Malbec in Mendoza. As a true visionary, he bought very old Malbec vineyards, planted in 1908, and built the Fabre Montmayou winery in the purest Château style from Bordeaux. The winery was built in Vistalba – Lujan de Cuyo, 18 Km North of Mendoza city at 3800 feet elevation (1,150 meters of altitude), and is surrounded by the first 37 acres of Malbec vineyards that the company bought. For the Fabre Montmayou line of wines, the owners decided to buy exclusively old-vine vineyards in the best wine growing areas of Mendoza. With constant care and personal style – essential elements for great quality – Fabre Montmayou combines modern winemaking, Mendoza’s terroir and the Bordeaux “savoir faire” to produce wines of unique personality. MENDOZA, ARGENTINA Mendoza Province is one of Argentina's most important wine regions, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the country's entire wine production. Located in the eastern foothills of the Andes, in the shadow of Mount Aconcagua, vineyards are planted at some of the highest altitudes in the world, with the average site located 600–1,100 metres (2,000–3,600 ft) above sea level. The principal wine producing areas fall into two main departments Maipúand Luján, which includes Argentina's first delineated appellation established in 1993 in Luján de Cuyo.

  • A Molecular Marker Set Combining a Retrotransposon Insertion and SSR Polymorphisms Is Useful for Assessing Diversity in Vitis
    Received: 17 August 2020 y Accepted: 11 May 2021 y Published: 25 June 2021 DOI:10.20870/oeno-one.2021.55.2.4473 A molecular marker set combining a retrotransposon insertion and SSR polymorphisms is useful for assessing diversity in Vitis Frédérique Pelsy, Lucie Bevilacqua, Sophie Blanc and Didier Merdinoglu Université de Strasbourg, INRAE, SVQV UMR-A 1131, F-68000 Colmar, France *corresponding author: [email protected] Associate editor: Laurent Jean-Marie Torregrosa ABSTRACT Molecular markers, based on DNA polymorphisms, are useful tools for identifying individuals, establishing phylogenetic relationships, managing collections of genetic material or assisting breeding. In the present study, we developed a marker set to differentiate Vitis species, grapevine varieties or clones belonging to the same variety. This novel marker set combines, in four PCR amplifications, the presence/absence of a remarkable retrotransposon, Tvv1-Δ3460, inserted at its single locus and the SSR polymorphism present within its two LTRs. By studying a collection of Vitaceae accessions, we showed the prevalence of two allelic forms of Tvv1-Δ3460 - one of which was partially truncated - in Vitis species. Out of the twenty-five studiedVitis species, the insertion of a Tvv1-Δ3460 element was detected in twenty, including Vitis vinifera. The homozygous vs heterozygous state of the element insertion was determined by amplifying the empty site. Additionally, each Tvv1-Δ3460 LTRs included a microsatellite sequence useful for designing markers based on LTR length. The LTR-SSR markers distinguished most of the fifty-two cultivars and revealed polymorphism within five of the seven varieties studied.

  • Modeling Grape Price Dynamics in Mendoza: Lessons for Policymakers
    Journal of Wine Economics, Volume 14, Number 4, 2019, Pages 343–355 doi:10.1017/jwe.2019.29 Modeling Grape Price Dynamics in Mendoza: Lessons for Policymakers German Puga a, James Fogarty b, Atakelty Hailu c and Alejandro Gennari d Abstract Mendoza is the main wine-producing province of Argentina, and the government is currently implementing a range of policies that seek to improve grape grower profitability, including a vineyard replanting program. This study uses a dataset of all grape sales recorded in Mendoza from 2007 to 2018, totaling 90,910 observations, to investigate the determinants of grape prices. Key findings include: smaller volume transactions receive lower-average prices per kilo- gram sold; the discount for cash payments is higher in less-profitable regions; and the effect of wine stock levels on prices is substantial for all varieties. Long-run predicted prices are also estimated for each variety, and region; and these results suggest that policymakers should review some of the varieties currently used in the vineyard replanting program. (JEL Classifications: Q12, Q13, Q18) Keywords: autoregressive distributed lag, grape price, hedonic price, Mendoza. I. Introduction Accounting for 71% of total Argentinean grape production, Mendoza is the main wine province of Argentina. Argentina is the fifth-largest wine producer in the world (Anderson, Nelgen, and Pinilla, 2017;OIV,2018).

  • Argentina's Booming Vineyards
    May 16, 2009 THE NEW CONQUISTADORS: ARGENTINA'S BOOMING VINEYARDS For most, the dream remains just that, but for some, it is becoming an increasingly affordable reality, not in Europe, where land in the prestigious wine-producing regions remains expensive, but 7,000 miles away in Argentina. Foreign investors are queueing up for a share of Argentina's booming vineyards. By Gideon Long How many people, at some point, have idly dreamt of owning a vineyard and producing their own wine? Somewhere in Tuscany or La Rioja perhaps, somewhere sun-kissed and picturesque.
