    Abstract Vineyards were mainly established in the south-western coastal zone around the Cape and in adjacent inland synclinal river valleys were irrigation water was available. These areas, characterized by a Mediterranean climate, are still the main wine producing regions today. Demarcation of existing vineyards was, and still is, done by technical experts, using four categories, viz. (1) Regions, based on broad geographical features and administrative boundaries; (2) Districts, based on geographical and macro climatic features; (3) Wards, essentially based on uniform soil, climatic and ecological patterns; and (4) Estates, based on the concept of singular ownership of vineyards and wine being produced on the estate. Lacking sufficient tradition, experience and experimental information, compared to the old world wine countries, the philosophy behind demarcation in South Africa is to identify natural terrain units, using available technical information, and then allowing such units to develop and demonstrate particular wine styles and character, rather than demanding proof of uniqueness before demarcation is done.

    Abstract There are apparently 3 types of green coloured Waltham Cross grapes: Early harvested grapes which just meet the sugar/acid regulations; bunches which on account of certain circumstances develop an unattractive blue-green colour which never colours to yellow; the so called 'tired' grapes which probably represent a form of strained maturity attributed to water stress. Delivery of green or blue-green grapes caused increasing marketing problems. - Author recommends the following measures for overcoming the green coloured Waltham Cross problem: Restricting the production to levels below 6000 cartons/ha, suckering for improving light penetration starting from the stage that shoots reach a length of 15 cm, topping and removal of leaves to eventually have not fewer than 12-15 leaves/bunch on a shoot, opening a 'window' in the foliage which will at 12 noon give a strip of sunlight of at least 0.5 metre on the ground as well as 20 % spots of sunlight in the shady strip on the ground, planting distances of 3 * 1.8 m, limiting soil nitrogenous fertilization to 120 kg N/ha on poor soils and half to zero in fertile soils.

    Abstract Aims: Identification and characterisation of terroirs depends on knowledge of environmental parameters, functioning of the grapevine and characteristics of the final product. Field studies, resulting in point data, are necessary to investigate the functioning of the grapevine but in order for this information to be of use within zoning studies it must be placed in a spatial context. Methods and results: A knowledge-driven model used the rules generated in regression tree analyses to directly classify natural terroir units with respect to expected response of Cabernet-Sauvignon and Sauvignon blanc in the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin District. The natural terroir units were then grouped into terroir units that were homogenous with respect to predicted response of selected viticultural and oenological variables for each studied cultivar. Conclusions: The use of regression tree methodology (CART analyses) enabled the definition of decision trees for spatialisation of this data. Each natural terroir unit could be evaluated with respect to its potential viticultural and oenological response and thus grouped to identify terroir units. Significance and impact of the study: The identified terroir units can only be considered preliminary but the methodology used has promising implications for different scales of study.

    Abstract In South Africa along the Orange River Sultana vines exert the so-called ''growth arrestment disease'' (GAD) which is characterized by a delayed bud burst, stunted sprouts in spring, abortion of inflorescences and resumption of vigorous growth thereafter. In these cases yield losses were 80 % and more. Applications of K2SO4 (3t/ha) to the soil and to the foliage did not reduce the rate of GAD. The C/N ratio in vines showing symptoms of GAD was out-of-balance (as was reported already by KLIEWER, 1978). Possibly a relation exists between GAD and the high temperatures and/or the frequency of irrigation in the period of winter dormancy.(Duering, H.; Geilweilerhof)
