| Abstract It is known that rootstock can induce changes on grapevine yield components and on the physicochemical composition of musts and wines. However, its effect on the sensory characteristics of wines has been scarcely studied. For this reason, an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of 15 rootstocks on the sensory characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon wine, whose grapevines were grafted on Rupestris du Lot, 101-14 Mgt, 3309 C, 420A Mgt, 5BB K, 161-49 C, SO4, Solferino, 1103 P, 99 R, 110 R, Gravesac, Fercal, Dogridge and Isabel, which feature some genetic diversity altogether. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with 15 treatments, three replicates, 10 vines per plot. Mature grapes were harvested, and wines were made in 20-L... |
