The Ministry of Agriculture and Water, through the Instituto Murciano Agricultural Development and Food (IMID), and the University of Murcia have been released at the XXI Conference on Transfer of Research Results in Viticulture and Enology, held recently in Jumilla the results of R & D developed in the last year in this area.
IMIDA researchers and professors at the University of Murcia addressed through various conference technical improvements that are used in wine cellars, the breeding of new varieties of grapes for wine, as well as draft zoning Jumilla, in order to delineate areas with similar climate and soil conditions to obtain the best grapes and wines.
It also disclosed the action to obtain an increase in grape quality without increasing production and achieving maximum efficiency in water use.
We also analyzed the projects quickly and objectively determine the quality of the grape and the new parameters that may affect the entry price at the winery.
The conference, chaired by the Director General of Operations and Training Modernization of Agricultural, Ángel García Lidón and IMIDA director, Adrian Martinez, brought together experts and technical personnel wine cellars, interested in the results of research work done in this area.
Quality of the six varieties of grapes
The Director General of Operations and Training Modernization of Land also presented during the celebration of this day the publication 'characterization of the wines of the varieties tested in the experimental plot BSI', published by the Ministry of Agriculture and Water, which collects the work are being developed with different varieties such as Tempranillo, Garnacha, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Monastrell in the experimental demonstration and technology transfer of Jumilla.
This publication assesses the quality of the six varieties of grapes reviewed by tracking the weight of the berries, evolution of the degree, acidity, phenolic potential, grape production and wine tasting, and notes the high quality of the wines obtained with Merlot and Syrah and greater ability to age the wines of limited production.
Jumilla The experimental plot was established in 2002 through the Partnership Program 'wine-grape varieties,' and she carried out trials of new farming techniques, irrigation rates, and biological pest control, among other actions aimed at obtaining a final product of varietal wines made with the best winemaking techniques.
