Abstract

The introduction of cold climate interspecific hybrid grape (CCIHG) cultivars has stimulated a new wine industry in northern climates; however, high fruit acidity at harvest and limited information on fruit composition of these new cultivars make producing quality wines difficult. Organic acid and sugar profiles were determined during two growing seasons for Brianna, Frontenac, La Crescent, and Marquette under control and fruit zone exposure (“exposed”) treatments consisting of removing two to three leaves/shoot that were shading clusters and lateral shoots from the first three node positions, two weeks after fruit set. From veraison to harvest, glucose to fructose ratios ranged from 0.88 to 1.13, and tartaric to malic acid ratios ranged from 0.23 to 0.88 between years and cultivars. La Crescent and Frontenac had higher levels of acidity from veraison to harvest, mainly due to high levels of malic acid. The exposed treatment increased irradiance in the cluster zone, as well as berry temperature. Treatment effect on fruit glucose and fructose concentrations varied among cultivars and growing seasons. The exposed treatment reduced total titratable acidity, particularly malic acid concentrations in almost all evaluated cultivars. Leaf and lateral shoot removal just prior to veraison could be an effective tool to reduce acidity in CCIHG grown in cold climate regions with short growing seasons. In addition, this work highlights the need to develop independent fruit maturity standards for CCIHG, as opposed to relying on those established for Vitis vinifera cultivars.
