Record 1 2017-12-08

English

Subject field(s)

Record 2 2015-01-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Winemaking
CONT

Grapes for late-harvest wine are left on the vine for several weeks or in some cases months after the usual harvest. With more time, the berries become riper and thus sweeter. They may also begin to lose water through evaporation, further concentrating the natural fruit sugars. All that sweetness turns out to be literally too much for the yeast in the fermenting vat, which tires out and dies before it can convert all the sugar into alcohol to create a dry wine.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industrie vinicole
CONT

Lors de la fabrication des vins de vendanges tardives, les vendanges sont retardées volontairement de façon à concentrer les sucres et le parfum des raisins. Les raisins sont naturellement asséchés, on dit alors qu’ils sont passerillés. Les vins élaborés à partir de ces raisins ont donc un taux de sucre et d’alcool plus élevé ainsi qu’un bouquet plus complexe.

Record 3 2004-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Vegetable Crop Production
CONT

Peas are of four types; shelling, sugar, snap or soup peas, determined by when they are at their best and how they are used. Shelling peas are picked when the pods are full and swollen. Sugar peas are best when the pods are young and tender and the peas are just beginning to develop. Snap Peas offer the best of both, having still crisp tender pods when the peas are full and round. Soup peas should be left on the vine to mature and dry before harvest.

Opération de récolte destinée à la fabrication du vin.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Industria vinícola
  • Viticultura
DEF

Conjunto de operaciones que se realizan con el fin de recolectar las uvas que han crecido y madurado durante el año vegetativo.

CONT

El estado sanitario de la uva también interviene en la determinación de la fecha de la vendimia y con la misma importancia que su grado de maduración.

CONT

También es difícil resistirse en una zona vitícola a la "tentación" de vendimiar, cuando otros viticultores ya lo están haciendo y existe una especie de precipitación o psicosis colectiva en la recogida de la uva.

CONT

Riegos de preparación: Uno o dos riegos de diciembre a enero, con objeto de poner la tierra en condiciones de dar las labores e incorporar los abonos. En algunos suelos muy compactos, y cuando la recolección de la uva se ha adelantado, se da un riego en noviembre, preparatorio de la labor de alzar.
