LalVigne Academy 2018 : a success
After the success of the 2017 edition, a new edition of the LalVigne Academy took place in Madrid from March 5th to March 7th, gathering more than 80 technicians of different nationalities (Germany, Croatia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Russia, USA, Japan, India, Austria, France, South Africa, Portugal and Spain).
March 6th
The March 6th program included world-renowned speakers such as M. Vivier – Stellenbosch University, I. Filippetti – Universitá di Bologna and V. Sotés –UPM among others who shared the latest scientific results of the research conducted worldwide with LalVigne MATURE and LalVigne AROMA, as well as other information of interest regarding the process of ripening and composition of the grapes.
Attendees were able to note the positive effect of these applications on the composition of the grape, based on the plant response with key enzymes involved in the secondary metabolism, resulting in an increase of the skin thickness and accumulation of positive compounds.
March 7th
On March 7th we visited Finca Constancia.
During the visit to the vineyard led by José Ramón Lissarrague (UPM), attendees expanded their knowledge of Spanish viticulture and field results with LalVigne applications.
Subsequently, through a sensory workshop led by Norrel Robertson MW, we tasted international wines in which we could see the positive impact of LalVigne MATURE and LalVigne AROMA on the balance and quality of the wines, proving their usefulness for winemakers and winemakers facing the challenge of climate change.
