Principle Wine Regions of the World Lesson 4 Principle Wine Regions of the World A unique gift from nature and the earth’s geology Lesson 4: Principle Wine Regions of the World Lesson Overview 4.0 Introduction. 4.15 Israel 4.1 Argentina 4.16 Italy 4.2 Australia 4.17 Japan 4.3 Austria 4.18 Macedonia 4.4 Bulgaria 4.19 New Zealand 4.5 Canada 4.20 Portugal 4.6 Chile 4.21 Romania 4.7 China 4.22 South Africa 4.8 Czech Republic 4.23 Spain 4.9 England and Wales 4.24 Switzerland 4.10 France 4.25 United States of America 4.11 Germany 4.12 Greece Conclusions 4.13 Hungary 4.14 India References Lesson 4: Principle Wine Regions of the World Aims and Learning Outcomes of the Lesson On completion of this lesson the learner will be expected to be able to; Describe the major wine growing countries and regions, their individual classifications and their related wine laws Outline the grape characteristics, geographical and geological factors, plus the viticultural and vinification techniques used to produce wines around the world. Lesson 4: Principle Wine Regions of the World 4.0 Introduction the world of wine is constantly changing and evolving through investment, innovation, the application of new scientific techniques higher quality wines are being produced. wine is a gift of nature and the earth’s geology but is mother nature who is the ultimate boss in the end, the countries explored in this lesson require so many factors to fall into place to produce good wines consistently. Lesson 4: Principle Wine Regions of the World 4.1 Argentina Seventy percent of Argentina’s vineyards are located in the state of Mendoza, which lies under the Andes Mountains and is geographically located on the same latitude as Morocco. A unique intricate system of irrigation, which is supplied from the melted snows of the Andes Mountains by a network of canals begun by the native Indians a thousand years ago (which included a legal framework for equitably dividing water rights, that subsequent generations have luckily inherited) coupled with balanced temperatures and little or no disease ensures that crops are huge. The average crop produces an amazing 70 hectolitres. the most widely planted grape variety is the Malbec once dominant in Bordeaux and flourishing as Auxerrois in Cahors, in Argentina it produces top rich red wine the best vineyards are located near the Andes due to the unique canal system and high altitudes between 600 to 950 metres phylloxera is controlled in Argentina by flooding the vineyards with water from big dams located in the Andes Mountains Torrontes: Argentina’s indigenous white variety, popular and very easy to drink, both for old-style brownish wines and fruiter modern ones. Vineyards and grape varieties Vineyards: The vineyards of Argentina lie above 500 metres above sea level with the exception of Salta (in the sub tropical north), which is close to the town of Cafayate those vineyards reach a height to 2,000 metres. The majority of the vineyards are planted in the parral, or pergola system because of the heat, this helps keep the grapes away from the scorching ground heat. Grape varieties and regions grown: Malbec (Mendoza, Rio Negro) produces full-bodied, bramley red wines with the dark purple colour, rich tannins, peppery and spicy flavours. Torrontes (Cafayate) produces full-bodied, dry white wines with Muscat-like aromas. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot (Cafayate, Mendoza) planted widely for red wines. Chardonnay and Viognier (Mendoza) for white wines. Criolla and Cereza used for basic, local market table wine or in some cases grape concentrates. Major regions and wines of Argentina: Argentina was the first South American country to introduce a DOC system in 1992. Mendoza: only region with a hierarchy of appellations, divided into five regions and a larger number of departments and then subdivisions. San Juan: warmer climates produces light wines, lots of vermouths and grape concentrate. Famatina: far north, very hot contains co-operative cellars, the La Rioja province wines although popular are labelled Famatina Valley because of Spain. Cafayate: the Torrontes (white) grape reins here in this Salta province. High growing altitudes help develop aromas and flavours. Cabernet Sauvignon also grows well here. Rio Negro: located in the far south, this cool region produces a lot of Malbec Lesson 4: Principle Wine Regions of the World 4.2 Australia [ Wine map of Australia ] Lesson 4: Principle Wine Regions of the World 4.2 Australia (continued) The best vineyards are to the south and close to the sea. Australia’s red and white wines display a delicate fruity softness, which is ideal for immediate consumption. Climate and weather: Mediterranean, the cooler areas at found at altitude or close to the coast. Drought can be the biggest problem. Weather can also cause vintage variation. Soils: Very mixed for separate regions, some special soils include the Terra Rossa of Connawarra. Grape Varieties: Although there are about 90 different grape varieties planted commercially in Australia the main grape varieties grown are White: Semillion, Riesling, Chardonnay, Muscat Gordo Blanco, Sauvignon Blanc, Colombard, Verdelho. Black: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Ruby Cabernet, Grenache, Mataro (Mourvedre), Cabernet Franc. Geographical Indications (GI): created in 1993 ‘to determine geographical indications for wine in relation to regions and localities in Australia’. The GI is part of Label Integrity Program to ensure the validity of the information on the bottle label. Local labelling and legal requirements: If regions, varieties or vintages are stated, then 85 per cent of the wine in the bottle must come from those regions, varieties or vintages. Major Australian Regions New South Wales (Hunter Valley, Central Ranges Zone, Big Rivers Zone) Victoria (Western Victoria Zone, North-West Victoria Zone, North-East Victoria, Port Phillip Zone) South Australia (Limestone Coast Zone, Mount Lofty Ranges Zone, Lower Murray Zone, Barossa Zone, Eden Valley region, Fleurieu Peninsular Zone, Western Australia (Greater Perth Zone, South-West Australia Zone), Tasmania. Major Wines Hunter Valley Semillon, Barossa Shiraz, Connawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, Clare and Eden Valley Rieslings, Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, Yarra Valley Pinot Noir, Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon, Margaret River Chardonnay, Rutherglen Liqueur Muscat. Lesson 4: Principle Wine Regions of the World 4.3 Austria Much of the Austrian wine is consumed locally while Germany is it’s biggest export market. Nno country in Europe has changed its attitudes and upgraded its standards so much in the past decade as Austria. Austrian Wine Laws Completely revamped and introduced in 1993, the classification system for the Austrian wine is similar to that of Germany, for example chaptalisation is forbidden for quality wines and the wine label information is also similar for both countries. Classification system for Austrian quality wines. Trockenbeernaulese (top level) Eiswein Ausbruch Beerauslese Auslese Strohwein or Shilfwein. Austrian Vineyards and Grape Varieties The vineyards are mainly concentrated to the east of Austria, 85% of the wines are white and dry made from the indigenous ‘Gruner Veltliner’ (broad variety of flavours) and other varieties, including the noble Riesling (grown for the quality wines giving dry full bodied wines with ripe peachy fruits), Welschriesling (susceptible to noble rot, produces excellent sweet wines in southern Austria), Major Austrian Regions and Wines Austria is split into four regions, these regions are the most important for the international markets (listed below), which are called Weinbauregion, which in turn are split into Weinbaugebiete and districts Grosslage. Niederosterreich Lower Austria: Key wines: Wachau, Kamptal, Kremstal using Gruner Veltliner or Riesling and Weinvieretel DAC using Gruner Vertliner. Burgenland: Key wines: BA, TBA, Eisewein using various GV and Burgenland reds using Blaufrankisch, cuvees. Burgenland lies to the east of Austria on the Hungarian border and produces outstanding sweet wines. Lesson 4: Principle Wine Regions of the World 4.4 Bulgaria Bulgaria Large amount of money invested in recent years Bulgaria’s winemakers are now producing quality wines. Wine Act of 1978 classified its wines as follows; Standard wines: bottom level, light wines drank locally, Special wines: covers sparkling, liqueur and fruit wines. High quality wines geographical origin: wines from unspecified region sold under a brand name, the lowest export standard. High quality wines with declared geographical origin (DGO): states the grape variety and region for example ‘Russe Welschriesling’ Russe being the producing region. Two varieties are blended to make an original taste. Controliran: similar to AC in France, limited mainly to single varieties, the word Controliran will appear on the label, label will state the specified region and specified grape variety, this wine will be tasted by a professional panel. Reserve: this word which only appears on the label on a DGO or Controliran wine and indicates that these wines have been aged in oak for 3-4 years. Special Reserve: limited lots, these wines are the countries best. Bulgarian major wines / grape varieties and wine regions For administrative reasons the country is split into five regions; Black Sea Region, Danube Plain Region, Thracian Valley Region (East and West) and the Struma Valley Region. Of the international red varieties Cabernet Sauvignon wines from Bulgaria was always the major export favourite Merlot and local varieties Mavrud, Melnik, Pamid and Gamza. The whites include Chardonnay, Aligote, Dimiat, Rkatsiteli and Muscat Ottonel. Cabernet Sauvignon (Danube Plain, West and East Thracian Valley), Merlot (East Thracian Valley), Melnik (Struma Valley Region), Chardonnay (Black Sea Region). Lesson 4: Principle Wine Regions of the World 4.5 Canada Canada: 7,821km from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, numerous microclimates produced by mountain ranges and bodies of water. Wine Regions: Southern Ontario around the Great Lakes, most notably Niagara Peninsula and the Okanagen Valley of British Columbia.

  • Discrimination of Brazilian Red Varietal Wines According to Their Sensory
    1172 DISCRIMINATION OFMIELE, BRAZILIAN A. & RIZZON, REDL. A. VARIETAL WINES ACCORDING TO THEIR SENSORY DESCRIPTORS Discriminação de vinhos tintos Brasileiros varietais de acordo com suas características sensoriais Alberto Miele1, Luiz Antenor Rizzon2 ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper was to establish the sensory characteristics of wines made from old and newly introduced red grape varieties. To attain this objective, 16 Brazilian red varietal wines were evaluated by a sensory panel of enologists who assessed wines according to their aroma and flavor descriptors. A 90 mm unstructured scale was used to quantify the intensity of 26 descriptors, which were analyzed by means of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The PCA showed that three important components represented 74.11% of the total variation. PC 1 discriminated Tempranillo, Marselan and Ruby Cabernet wines, with Tempranillo being characterized by its equilibrium, quality, harmony, persistence and body, as well as by, fruity, spicy and oaky characters. The other two varietals were defined by vegetal, oaky and salty characteristics; PC 2 discriminated Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Arinarnoa, where Pinot Noir was characterized by its floral flavor; PC 3 discriminated only Malbec, which had weak, floral and fruity characteristics. The other varietal wines did not show important discriminating effects. Index terms: Sensory analysis, enology, Vitis vinifera. RESUMO Conduziu-se este trabalho, com o objetivo de determinar as características sensoriais de vinhos tintos brasileiros elaborados com cultivares de uva introduzidos no país há algum tempo e outros, mais recentemente. Para tanto, as características de 16 vinhos tintos varietais brasileiros foram determinadas por um painel formado por enólogos que avaliaram os vinhos de acordo com suas características de aroma e sabor.

  • Effect of Pruning Severity on Vegetative, Physiological, Yield and Quality Attributes in Grape (Vitis Vinifera L.): a Review
    Current Agriculture Research Journal Vol. 3(1), 42-54 (2015) Effect of Pruning Severity on Vegetative, Physiological, Yield and Quality Attributes in Grape (Vitis vinifera L.): A Review S. SENTHILKUMAR1*, R.M. VIJayaKUMAR2, K. SOORIANATHASUNDARAM2 and D. DURGA DEVI2 1RVS Padmavathy College of Horticulture, Sempatti (Dindigul Dist.), Tamil Nadu - 624 707, India. 2Department of Fruit Crops, TNAU, Coimbatore, India. http://dx.doi.org/10.12944/CARJ.3.1.06 (Received: March 11, 2015; Accepted: May 2, 2015) ABSTRACT Grape is one among the most delicious, refreshing and nourishing fruits of the world. It is one of the earliest fruits grown by man. The berries are a good source of sugars and minerals like Ca, Mg, Fe, and vitamins like B1, B2, and C. Grape has so many uses and is so unique that no fruit can challenge their superiority. Crop load is the most important factor affecting yield and cluster quality as well as vine vigor of both seeded and seedless varieties. Hence, an optimum canopy size and bunch number per vine are to be maintained for achieving better fruit Quality which warrants proper balancing between vigour and capacity. The pruning requirement of different varieties differs as per their growth behaviour. Therefore, variety-specific standardization of pruning is essential for any grape cultivars for harnessing potential yield and quality. In this view, it is essential to get scientific information on the pruning requirement of grapes. Pruning all the matured canes to fruit bud level, as adopted by local grape growers results in more exploitation of reserved food material leading to loss of vigour, quality and early setting of senility in vines.

  • Bulgaria Country Profile
    Bulgaria Country Profile August 2019 A publication BACKGROUND The Bulgars, a Central Asian Turkic tribe, merged with the local Slavic inhabitants in the late 7th century to form the first Bulgarian state. In succeeding centuries, Bulgaria struggled with the Byzantine Empire to assert its place in the Balkans, but by the end of the 14th century the country was overrun by the Ottoman Turks. Northern Bulgaria attained autonomy in 1878 and all of Bulgaria became independent from the Ottoman Empire in 1908. Having fought on the losing side in both World Wars, Bulgaria fell within the Soviet sphere of influence and became a People’s Republic in 1946. Communist domination ended in 1990, when Bulgaria held its first multiparty election since World War II and began the contentious process of moving toward political democracy and a market economy while combating inflation, unemployment, corruption, and crime. The country joined NATO in 2004 and the EU in 2007. Geography: Southeastern Europe, bordering the Black Sea, between Romania and Turkey. Total area 110,879 sq km. People: Total population is 7,101,510 and median age is 42.7 years. Agriculture: Vegetables, fruits, tobacco, wine, wheat, barley, sunflowers, sugar beets; livestock. Industries: Electricity, gas, water; food, beverages, tobacco; machinery and equipment, automotive parts, base metals, chemical products, coke, refined petroleum, nuclear fuel; outsourcing centers. Environment: Air pollution from industrial emissions; rivers polluted from raw sewage, heavy metals, detergents; deforestation; forest damage from air pollution and resulting acid rain; soil contamination from heavy metals from metallurgical plants and industrial wastes. Economy and Infrastructure: Bulgaria, a former communist country that entered the EU in 2007, has an open economy that historically has demonstrated strong growth, but its per-capita income remains the lowest among EU members and its reliance on energy imports and foreign demand for its exports makes its growth sensitive to external market conditions.

  • 45. REASONS for WINE TOURISM in BULGARIA M. Pereviazko, K.O
    45. REASONS FOR WINE TOURISM IN BULGARIA M. Pereviazko, K.O. Veres National University of Food Technologies Wine tourism industry in Western Europe, especially in France and Italy are much more developed than in Bulgaria. But this is not due to the quality of drinks. Geographically, Bulgaria is located in the same climate zone as Spain, France and Italy - the major wine regions of the world. Just like these countries, It is considered one of the centers of cultivation of grapes. Scientists believe that the Thracians in the territory of modern Bulgaria made first wine in Europe. Eater the Greeks to find out from the Thracians secret receipt of grapes divine drink and arrogated to themselves the right of the pioneers of winemaking. Why do people prefer wine tourism not just drink wine at home what bought in the store? First of all, people should be remembered that wine, as opposed to people do not like to travel. As experts consider, in a way it can "get sick." So before the 93 entertain friends by wine from faraway countries, give him a chance to "rest" at least a week. The beauty of wine tourism is not sightseeing. Meeting people who produce this drink it is remains in the memory. Real manufacturer is in love with his work, and talk with them is very interesting. Some aesthetes prefer to stay in the castles of winemakers, to communicate with these eminent people. Observation of the production of wine can cause at least surprising in an untrained person. Guests can still see how the grapes are crushed underfoot in small wineries in Bulgaria.

  • Bulgaria's Evolving Wine Market Presents New Opportunities Bulgaria
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 1/19/2018 GAIN Report Number: BU1810 Bulgaria Post: Sofia Bulgaria’s Evolving Wine Market Presents New Opportunities Report Categories: Wine Approved By: Jonn Slette Prepared By: Mila Boshnakova Report Highlights: Post forecasts Bulgaria’s 2017 grape crop at 250,000 metric tons (MT), most of which will be used to produce about 140 million liters of commercial wine. The Bulgarian wine sector continues to evolve, driven by investments in the sector, increasing disposable incomes, tourism, and thriving retail and hotel, restaurant, and catering (HORECA) sectors. Wine consumption increased in 2016 and consumer trends point to a growing preference for higher- quality wines. January-October 2017 data indicate a 24-percent increase in wine imports by volume and 21 percent by value. Poland, Sweden, China, and Russia were the top export markets for Bulgarian wine (value terms) in 2016 and in 2017. General Information: PRODUCTION FAS Sofia estimates that Bulgaria’s 2017 grape harvest will reach 250,000 MT, of which about 210,000 MT will be processed into 140 million liters of commercial wine. Other estimates predict that grape production will reach 350,000 MT and 150 million liters of commercial wine. At the end of November 2017 (source: Ministry of Agriculture (MinAg) Weekly Bulletin #49), harvest reports estimated 47,800 hectares (HA) yielded 238,000 MT of grapes, with an average yield of about 5.0 MT/HA. Weather during the year was mixed.
