Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The change in global climate in the current century is unquestionable. In most wine-growing regions, a critical rise in temperature and an increasing frequency of droughts have been observed, which may bring significant changes to the functional biodiversity of vineyard ecosystems and to grapevine behaviour and related yield and berry quality. Consequently, the predicted alterations in climate may have dramatic socioeconomic consequences in all wine-grape sectors, since wine quality is profoundly linked to the ‘terroir’ concept, which includes climate as one if its major determinants. Although grapevines show notable climate resilience, all wine-grape sectors must develop necessary adjustments, preferably focused on suitable and eco-friendly viticultural and oenological practices, to ensure well-balanced grape ripening and high-quality wine production. The main objective of this Special Issue is the publication of original research and review papers addressing the impact of these new challenges and threats on the ecological, morphological, physiological, biochemical, and molecular behaviour of vineyards and grapevines. In addition, studies discussing suitable and environmentally friendly adaptation measures, such as a judicious choice of species, cultivars, and rootstocks in combination with good planting and training practices, that improve vineyard resilience, viticulture sustainability, and wine quality and safety, are very welcome.

In the context of climate change, water management is crucial for controlling the reproductive growth and quality of grapes. In this study, we aim to determine the effects of different water regimes on the yield components and chemical composition of grape Vitis vinifera Albariño grown in Galicia. Four treatments were tested in the trial: rainfed (T0), irrigated at 30% of ETo from veraison to harvest (T1), from pea-size to harvest (T2), and throughout the whole vegetative cycle (T6). To analyse the effects of irrigation, measures of stem water potential (Ψstem) were obtained fortnightly, from flowering to harvest. During the harvest, the average weight per bunch and the number of bunch and yield per vine were determined. In addition, the Ravaz index was also calculated. The grapes from each experimental treatment were subjected to chemical (OIV methods) and volatile composition (GC-MS) analyses. The results indicated a greater yield in the T0 group. The lowest yield was observed for T2 over the three years of the study. The results also showed a stronger influence of year than treatment on Albariño must include chemical composition parameters. Treatment affected malic acid, total acidity, free amino acids (FAN), and assimilable yeast nitrogen (YAN); meanwhile, of the volatile chemical groups analysed, esters, acetates, and volatile acids were affected by the treatment, while the season affected all chemical families of volatile compounds, with the exception of C6 compounds. The interaction effect of Tr × Y was observed on esters, acetates, and total volatile concentration. In the contrast analysis (p < 0.05), we observed increases in alcohols and terpenes in T6 vs. T2; however, esters and acetates were increased under rainfed treatment (T0) vs. T6. Full article

Under a climate change scenario, vineyards will experience serious challenges in the future. In an attempt to overcome such difficulties, this experiment offers a study on the effect of regulated deficit irrigation as a method for short-term adaptation to climate change in cv. Touriga Francesa, grafted into the rootstock 110R in the Douro region during a three-year period. Water stress on the plant and its effects on canopy, production, and quality of musts were analyzed. Rainfed vines (R0) were compared to three deficit irrigation regimes as a function of estimated crop evapotranspiration (ETc): R25 (25% ETc), R50 (50% ETc), and R75 (75% ETc). Water was applied on a weekly basis whenever predawn water potential showed moderate water stress until 15 days prior to harvest. The results suggest that rainfed plants under these circumstances suffered, in general, a negative impact on vine performance, while moderate water stress had more favorable effects on fruit composition, as well as in yield. Nonetheless, further studies should be conducted as irrigation did not show consistent effects on yield or berry composition. Full article
