Abstract
Description
In the years 2008–2011, 18 wine cultivars described
as traditional and used for production of wine of recognized quality
were assessed in the collection of grapevine in Skierniewice
(Central Poland, latitude 51o57’ N, longitude 20o08’ E). This
group included 16 cultivars which have been cultivated in Europe
for centuries: Auxerrois, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay,
Chasselas Blanc (Chrupka Złota), Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot
Meunier, Pinot Noir, Pinot Noir Precoce, Portugieser, Riesling
(Weisser Riesling), Saint Laurent, Sauvignon Blanc, Silvaner,
Tauberschwarz, Traminer Rot and two cultivars dating back to
the 19th century: Goldriesling and Mueller-Thurgau. Bushes of
enumerated cultivars, grafted on V. berlandieri x V. riparia SO 4
rootstocks, were planted in 2007 and annually covered for winter.
Taking into account fertility, quality of fruit, susceptibility to frost
and fungal diseases, the following cultivars proved most suitable
for cultivation in the conditions of Central Poland: Auxerrois,
Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chasselas Blanc, which is
classified as both wine and table cultivar. The assessment of frost
resistance, based on observation of those parts of bushes which
were not covered, showed that least susceptible to frost damage
were plants of the cultivar Riesling, and most susceptible were
plants of Mueller-Thurgau, Portugieser, Sauvignon Blanc and Silvaner.
To the group of cultivars most susceptible to infections
caused by pathogens of fungal origin belonged: Cabernet Sauvignon,
Chardonnay, Mueller-Thurgau, Portugieser, Sauvignon
Blanc, Silvaner and Tauberschwarz.
