Question 1

Which training system would you choose if you are in an arid region without the possibility of irrigation? Why?

Answer 1

Gobelet (Head training) with three main reasons:

1. Without any wires and trellis systems, growers are able to cross cultivate the rows of their vineyards, allowing for additional benefits to soil health and moisture.
2. Head training limits the growth of the vine. By keeping the vine smaller, it uses less water, naturally creates a more balanced vine, and is more amenable to dry farming. However, the smaller vine does restrict the vine to a smaller crop load, which must be taken into account.
3. Setting up a head trained vineyard is less expensive then setting up a wire-trellised vineyard, as there is lesser infrastructure.

Question 2

What does “kvevri” mean?

Answer 2

Kvevri (translation: that which is buried) are large earthenware vessels used for the fermentation, storage and ageing of traditional Georgian wine.

Question 3

You have two semi dry wines with the identical values of alcohol, residual sugar, acidity and SO2. Wine number one has been produced by stopped fermentation, wine number two has been produced by added must concentrate. Which wine gives a sweeter impression and why?

Answer 3

The wine with added must concentrate would give a sweeter impression as must concentrate is quite viscous and therefore will make the wine appear sweeter than the wine made by stopped fermentation.

Question 4

What types of soil make the terroir in the vineyards of Luxemburg?

Answer 4

Shell limestone (Canton Grevenmacher) and keuper with marl clay (Canton Remich)

Question 5

For Madeira, what is the difference between a Colheita and a Frasqueira?

Answer 5

Colheita: Colheita Madeira is produced from a single vintage (85% minimum required) and is aged for a minimum 5 years prior to bottling. It may be a blend or a single varietal wine. Colheita offers the consumer ‘vintage’ Madeira without the extended cask aging, complexity, or cost of a true Vintage Madeira, or Frasqueira.

Frasqueira or Garrafeira: Vintage Madeira aged for a minimum 20 years in cask. Frasqueira, like Colheita, may be produced from a single varietal or a blend. Since only a minimum 85% of the vintage is required, these wines are topped up with younger wines throughout the aging process. Vintage wines are produced by the Canteiro method and may be aged for additional time—sometimes decades—in glass demijohns after the period of cask aging. Frasqueira is the epitome of Madeira, and one of the world’s legendary and long-lived wines.

What is Peronospora otherwise known as?

Answer 364

Downy Mildew (Peronospora): Another fungal disease that immigrated to Europe on North American vine cuttings, downy mildew spread rampantly through France and the rest of Europe in the early 1880s. Plasmopara viticola, the agent of downy mildew, attacks the green portions of the vine, causing leaves to drop off the vine and limiting the vine’s ability to photosynthesise. The infection is first visible as an oil spot on vine leaves. As spores germinate a white, cottony growth develops on the underside of the leaves. The fungus survives the winter on fallen leaves in the soil, and its spores reach the vine again with the help of rain splatter in the spring. Arid regions prohibit its growth. The blue-staining Bordeaux mixture, a spray of copper sulphide, water and lime, was developed by 1885 to prevent outbreaks of downy mildew.
