NZ scientists create 6000 new SB variants to increase environmental resilience
By James Lawrence Published: 03 May, 2023

The Bragato Research Institute in Marlborough has sequenced 6,000 genetic variants of New Zealand’s leading grape variety, developed to help tackle climate change.
Undertaken in collaboration with Plant & Food Research, the nascent vines are in a nursery and will be planted in a research vineyard in Spring 2023.
According to a representative from the institute: “New Zealand has 26,559 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc vines and due to the way grapes are propagated, the vast majority of these vines are genetically the same.”

As a result, any new pest, disease or environmental change that affects one vine could affect them all.

This was the impetus which led to funding for the seven-year Grapevine Improvement programme – the goal is to create 12,000 diverse variants of Sauvignon Blanc to help New Zealand’s $2 billion wine industry become more resilient.
“Plants have the natural ability to become more genetically diverse in response to environmental stress, and this knowledge was used to produce a population of vines with unique traits,” said principal scientist Dr Darrell Lizamore.
“Since this doesn’t involve crossings with other vines, the plants are still Sauvignon Blanc, and the new variants are fully formed at the first generation.”

To understand exactly how each one of those 6,000 variants is different, BRI has installed the first high-throughput third-generation sequencer in New Zealand. The ‘PromethION217; sequencer, supplied by Oxford Nanopore technologies, generates long-read data that is critical for understanding genetic differences among grapevines, as well as the impact that a vine’s environment has on its genetic traits.

By comparing the DNA of different vines using sequencing approaches, the vines can be screened to identify those that exhibit useful traits to help the New Zealand wine industry adapt to a changing climate.
Useful traits such as improved yield, resistance to disease, frost tolerance and water use efficiency will be selected whilst maintaining the iconic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc flavour profile, according to the researchers.

The news comes ahead of the annual Sauvignon Blanc Day celebration (5 May), a day dedicated to tasting and enjoying Sauvignon Blanc in its many guises.

Oh dear chutes is in repeat spamming mode - filtered. And now Derek, a market guru - filtered. And apologies to others if I have provoked these posts.

too many shares in issue now, and further dilution to come for funding, so the heat is out of this investment now
paying for previous poor management, its a hold, but no one getting rich here in a hurry.

[faz] 03/5/2023 18:13

I'm sure you know spouting cliched pap like 'massive dilution' does you no favours. If a company becomes wealthier by selling shares there is no dilution; its basic maths, home economics even. My living has for some time come from investing in turnaround expansion stories, normally not ones with the same opportunities that this company has. I'd sell tomorrow if I were you.

[chutes01] 03/5/2023 15:47

still hold, massive dilution coming as it moves to AIM
Need to raise at least 10m, thats 40m further shares

200m shares in issue, just wont get past 50p for many years
it's a management play thing now.
No one will pay £100 m to buy it out (50p)

[faz] 03/5/2023 15:13

I disagree with your prognosis, but the past is receding as the strategy for the next five years is being executed. If you are not persauded by the business plan they have made evidently public I'm sure you've already sold, if you ever held

[chutes01] 03/5/2023 14:16

the last lot of management hugely increased the shares in issue, total incompetence as they tried to prop up the business
now funds are required to pay for new winery, further dilution here no longer makes it a compelling investment
such a shame really.

[chutes01] 02/5/2023 16:11

the last ceo make a hash of this, went into beer and spirits, opened bar in london, nearly wrecked the company, so it has done ok to survive.he was sent packing.
cost shareholders millions, so should be way ahead of here.
150m shares now and moving to aim to finance new winery, after spending cash recently to upgrade existing facility, prob more wasted cash.
now have over 1000 acres vineyards, scaling up hopefully to be bought out by a french house.
should have happened by now, but lost their way, the number of shares in issue is a concern and they will have to crowd fund etc. again soon so heaps dilution coming.
may just continue to be a novelty investment.

Great plug for Chapel Down on Good Morning Britain just now. Nicely in time for peeps to buy for the Coronation celebrations, CDGP media team doing a great job IMHO

[faz] 19/4/2023 08:44

The FD is buying again- now holds 2m shares. Nice round figure for when the share hits £1!

[rimau1] 27/3/2023 16:25

Looking forward to results on wednesday. Chapel Down remains in deep value territory IMO, i think if the property/plant/land assets were revalued at market price we would find the marketcap to be 100% backed by net assets plus cash with a fast growing on trend business thrown in for free.

It’s moving up significantly in response to very low volume - I think there is a shortage of stock and that the CFO’s recent purchase cleared any overhang

[verulamium] 01/12/2022 11:40

Ordered my Christmas fizz this morning and the share price was up 8% within minutes. Remarkably responsive.

[faz] 30/11/2022 14:47

I have my Bacchus dry whites in for Xmas. Shareholder discount of 30% is good

[robsy2] 28/11/2022 17:31

Good shareholder benefits as well.

[nov31] 28/11/2022 11:33

Looks oversold to me - even with the CFO’s top up. Good harvest, premium brand - set for growth

[robsy2] 25/11/2022 22:10

Indeed! I bought some of their sparkling wine for xmas. Like to do my research before i jump in.
