Grape variety: Difference between revisions

Grape varieties differ widely in their suitability for various climates, soil types, and viticultural practices. Important traits include ripening time, yield potential, disease resistance, and flavour profile<ref>Jackson, ''Wine Science: Principles and Applications'', 5th ed., Academic Press, 2020, ISBN 978-0128161184.</ref>. For example, early-ripening varieties are often favoured in cooler climates, while those with thicker skins may be more resistant to fungal diseases in humid regions.

Certain varieties, known as ~~“noble grapes”~~, have achieved global recognition due to their ability to express terroir and produce high-quality wines across diverse regions<ref>Robinson (ed.), ''The Oxford Companion to Wine'', Oxford University Press, 2015, ISBN 978-0198705383.</ref>. Others remain restricted to traditional zones, contributing to the distinctiveness of regional wine styles.

Others remain restricted to traditional zones, contributing to the distinctiveness of regional wine styles.

The proliferation of international varieties has prompted concern over genetic erosion and the loss of local diversity. Efforts are ongoing in many countries to preserve and revitalise indigenous grapes<ref>OIV, “List of vine varieties and synonyms”, www.oiv.int.</ref>.
