Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about a new type of Malbec grape called \"Catena Malbec Clone 16\". This grape variety has been selected and reproduced from a mother plant that was different from other Malbec varieties. It has small and compact clusters with a high level of polyphenols and tannins. It also has a high aromatic intensity and flavor depth."

Problems solved by technology

A less than rigorous attention to grape variety selection meant that Malbec vineyards in Mendoza consisted of populations of a highly heterogeneous, haphazard mix of grape varieties throughout the vineyard.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]The Malbec grape variety ‘Catena Malbec Clone 16’ of the present invention resulted from a very demanding selection process carried out in Mendoza, Argentina. The ‘Catena Malbec Clone 16’ grape variety was originating from asexually reproduced self rooted cuttings from a mother grape plant that was selected in 1992 from a diverse Malbec grapevine population. That mother grape plant within the diverse Malbec grapevine population was showing the desirable characteristics as detailed below and resulted from an unknown naturally occurring mutation.

[0012]The process of identifying the Malbec grape variety ‘Catena Malbec Clone 16’ possessing an unknown naturally occurring mutation began with a selection of the ‘Calena Malbec Clone 16’ mother plant from a genetically diverse group of parent plants of a Malbec grapevine plant population, which included the mother plant of the ‘Catena Malbec Clone 16’ grape variety. The selections including the mother grape plant of the ‘Catena Malbec ...

Description

[0001]Botanical / commercial classification: Vitis vinifera L. Variety Denomination: ‘Catena Malbec Clone 16’.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Once known as a variety of Bordeaux, the Malbec grape is now being cultivated in South America, including Argentina. Malbec grapes produce outstanding red wines with characteristics that generally fall somewhere between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.[0003]Historically, Argentine vintners did not engage in selecting grape varieties. A less than rigorous attention to grape variety selection meant that Malbec vineyards in Mendoza consisted of populations of a highly heterogeneous, haphazard mix of grape varieties throughout the vineyard. There is a need for distinct Malbec grape varieties with improved quality based characteristics such as low yield, plant balance, and fruit concentration.[0004]In the following description, the color-coding is in accordance with The Horticultural Colour Chart of the Royal Horticultural Society, London, England (R....
