“…some of the finest red wines from Spain and Portugal, and today has spread to other regions such as Argentina, Australia, California and other viticultural regions around the world where the terroir is suitable. Spain is the world's largest Tempranillo producer (Anderson, 2013) with the Ribera del Duero DO as one of the main contributors to the countries production. The proportion of Tempranillo grapes in the red wines of the DO is regulated to exceed more than 85% (www.riberadelduero.es, Regulation of DO), however many of the wines are produced with 100% Tempranillo.…”

“…Regarding the size of the country, Portugal has already a relatively large coverage of planted vineyards, even when compared to other food crops (Anderson and Aryal, 2013). Nonetheless, given the increasing demand for DDR wines, including the world-famous Port wine, it is expected that the vineyard area continues growing.…”

SUMMARYThe Douro Demarcated Region (DDR) is one of the most important winemaking regions in Portugal. Viticulture is historically and culturally tied to the DDR, having a strong impact on the local economy. This mountainous region, characterized by the steep slopes of the Douro Valley, provides a wide range of environmental characteristics for grapevine growth. Different climatic conditions, soil profiles, topography, grapevine varieties and management practices comprise the DDR terroir, resulting in the distinctiveness of the wines produced. In the present study, an assessment of the homogeneous zones of interest for viticultural activities is proposed for the DDR, by integrating different terroir elements (thermal, hydric, soils, topography and vegetation), using state-of-the-art high resolution datasets (1 km) and a large number of variables/indices. A multivariate zoning was carried out using a principal component analysis and a subsequent clustering methodology. A geospatial assessment of the terroir elements was also performed separately for each type of vegetation covering the DDR. The inter-connections of the different terroir elements that exist at a given location, were also innovatively assessed. The zoning may promote a more appropriate selection of vineyard sites, the selection of more locally-adapted varieties and rootstocks and the adoption of appropriate viticultural practices and management planning. After assessing the terroir conditions that exist at the current vineyard locations, possible expansion zones within the DDR were also evaluated. The present study may also be used as an archetypal methodology that can be applied to other winemaking regions worldwide. RESUMOA Região Demarcada do Douro (RDD) é uma das regiões vitivinícolas mais importantes de Portugal. A viticultura está historicamente e culturalmente ligada à RDD, tendo uma importância vital para a economia local. Esta região montanhosa, caracterizada pelas encostas íngremes do vale do Douro, proporciona uma ampla gama de características edafoclimáticas para o crescimento da vinha. Diferentes condições climáticas, perfis de solo, topografia, castas e práticas culturais fazem parte do terroir da RDD, resultando no carácter distintivo dos vinhos aí produzidos. No presente estudo, propõe-se uma avaliação de zonas homogéneas com interesse para as atividades vitivinícolas na RDD, integrando diferentes elementos do terroir (térmico, hídrico, solos, topografia e vegetação), utilizando-se conjuntos de dados de alta resolução (1 km) e um elevado número de variáveis/índices. Foi realizada uma zonagem multivariada com recurso à análise em componentes principais e a uma metodologia de clustering. A avaliação geoespacial dos elementos do terroir foi também realizada separadamente para cada tipo de vegetação existente na RDD. As interconexões entre os diferentes elementos do terroir de um determinado local também foram avaliadas de forma inovadora. Esta zonagem poderá potenciar uma seleção mais adequada de áreas vitícolas, a seleção de castas e p...

“…1). Parmi les lauréats, la France est la plus largement représentée (952 médailles), probablement en raison de plus nombreuses candidatures de vins français du fait de la localisation du concours et de la superficie dominante de vignoble de Chardonnay en France en comparaison aux autres pays [1]. Viennent ensuite la Suisse (113 médailles), l'Afrique du Sud (107), le Canada (92) et l'Australie (82).…”

“…Cette variété de Vitis vinifiera a connu une forte expansion au cours des 50 dernières années, de manière concomitanteà un mouvement de standardisation mondiale de l'encépagement, où l'on estime que seuls 16 cépages couvrent 50 % des superficies viticoles aujourd'hui [1]. La superficie mondiale cultivée en Chardonnay est passée de 7300 haà 190126 ha en 2010, ce qui en fait le cépage ayant la 5`e me plus large couverture spatiale au monde [1]. th World Congress of Vine and Wine La vigneétant une plante vivace, la variabilité climatique locale et globale,à court ouà long terme, impose les conditions d'adaptation de la culture de chaque cépage et gouverne la qualité des millésimes.…”

Abstract.Chardonnay is the fifth most planted cultivar on Earth. This large spatial coverage suggests a strong flexibility of this wine grape variety to its environment, particularly when it comes to climate. To investigate the plasticity of Chardonnay for producing wine, we have built a geodatabase localizing the production areas (wine region, vineyard or plot, when possible) of 2029 wines awarded with either gold or bronze medals at the international wine competition "Chardonnay du Monde", from 2000 to 2015. Wines were produced by 982 different wineries, covering 230 world wine regions within 41 countries. The climate of each production region was depicted with the WorldClim database.
