SAVING POTENTIAL - New grape varieties
Using fungus-resistant new varieties to make vineyard work more efficient and sustainable, and increase profitability
Text: Prof. Dr. Marc Dreßler (Wine Campus / Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences) and Christine Freund (DLR Rheinpfalz).

Conclusion: New grape varieties offer potential solutions to current challenges in viticulture: lack of profitability, adaptation to climate change and customer demands for increased sustainability. They offer potential for reducing operating expenses, for countering the increasing stress in the production process by easing labor peaks, for differentiation and serve as concrete proof of sustainability.

The Julius Kühn Institute and the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom studied the root system of young potted grapevines of 'Calardis Musqué', 'Villard Blanc', and V3125 ('Schiava Grossa' x 'Riesling'). Non-invasive X-ray micro-computed tomography (X-ray µCT) methods were used to study phenotypic variation in the complex three-dimensional (3D) architecture of grapevine roots as a function of genotype and soil. Woody cuttings were cultured in polypropylene columns filled with two different soil types, clayey loam and sandy loam, for 6 weeks.
It was shown that the individual root parameters, such as root length and number of lateral roots, were clearly cultivar-specific, ie genetically determined, and less dependent on soil type.

A recipe recommendation for Easter
|
PIWI wine El Masut from Terre di Ger and
a new recipe from Ivana Frank - BORA
Steak and sweet potato fries with healthy barbecue sauce
|
El Masut the resistant red wine, sweet and refined from Merlot Khorus and Khantus and a special recipe developed to highlight its flavors. A "Well Done!" to Chef Ivana Frank and her innovative and fresh combinations of flavors.
El Masut means "little farmhouse" in the local dialect. This structured wine evokes both the passion and tradition that have always been a source of inspiration to shape the future.
Here is a special recipe to recreate.
