Resumen

The phenolic content of berries is a very important parameter to define grape and wine quality. The aim of this work was to study the spatial variability of grape phenols in a vineyard using a new proximal fluorescence sensor. A regular sampling grid of 67 blocks was built in a 2.2 ha Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) vineyard. The phenolic content of grapes was assessed using the portable Multiplex™ fluorescence sensor in three clusters of three vines per block at two different stages (veraison and harvest). Omni-directional semi-variograms were built for Multiplex™ parameters which are related to anthocyanin and flavonol content in grapes. Kriged maps were obtained for each parameter at veraison and harvest. All parameters showed a stronger spatial dependence at veraison and a larger range at harvest. These results suggest that a portable proximal sensor can be used to assess the spatial variability of grape phenols in a vineyard and for mapping winegrape composition attributes.
