    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

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.

VINEA works with Oregon’s LIVE (Low-Input Viticulture and Enology) to provide internationally accredited third-party certification to winegrowers in the Pacific Northwest, one of the highest certifications in the world for sustainable viticulture. Sustainability is particularly relevant in the field of viticulture where the vineyard is seen as a large integrated farm, where plant, animal and microbial life, aided by soil and water quality, contribute to the overall health of the environment and therefore the development and quality of the crop.

  • Vérapson to HARVEST
    VERAISOŃ TO HARVEST Statewide Vineyard Crop Development Update #5 October 6, 2017 Edited by Tim Martinson and Chris Gerling Around New York... Statewide (Tim Martinson) Harvest is in high gear throughout New York, with 27 of our original sample blocks now harvested (Fruit composition table pp. 6-10). This includes many traditional natives and hybrids (Baco noir, Seyval blanc, Vignoles, and Niagara), almost all of the Cold-hardy Minnesota hybrids (Marquette, Frontenac, and La Crescent), and early vinifera (Pinot noir and Chardonnay). Overall, the pace of ripening (by the numbers) slowed down from last week. Across all varieties, soluble solids gained an average 1 °Brix, and TAs dropped by 1.2 g/l. (Last week +1.3 °Brix; -1.65 g/l TA). Biggest gainers in our Burdett, NY. Young Riesling vines with first partial crop at Paul Hobbs samples included Concord, Catawba, and La Crescent vineyards, on the southeast end of Seneca Lake, near Burdett. (>2 °Brix), with mid/late season varieties gaining about Photo by Tim Martinson +0.5°Brix. Most TAs changed by <-1 g/l, but acids dropped dramatically in Catawba and Vidal blanc (both>-3g/l). Compared to last year, most varieties are still 1 to 3 °Brix The number of calls concerning the ability of vines to ripen lower than 2016, and TAs range from 1-5 g/l above last a crop are increasing. As is the case in most years, the later year. we go into harvest, the worse the canopy looks due to pow- dery mildew infections, potassium deficiency and just old Technical difficulties have prevented reporting of YAN age.
