PANORAMA DA VITICULTURA NO ESTADO DE GOIÁS E SUAS POTENCIALIDADES

Abstract

The objective of this review was to conduct a bibliographic survey on the panorama of wine production in the state of Goiás, analyzing its implications, challenges, and projections. The aim was to understand how the state is consolidating itself as a new frontier for wine production in Brazil, highlighting the innovations and practices that make this activity viable.

Wine production in Brazil is traditionally associated with the South region, especially Rio Grande do Sul, due to its long history and climatic conditions. However,

The expansion to other regions, such as Goiás, represents a significant innovation in the sector.

This expansion is supported by adaptive techniques, such as reverse pruning, which allows grapes to be harvested in winter, increasing fruit quality and serving new markets.

Furthermore, geographic diversification expands the wine offering and explores new flavor profiles,

strengthening Brazil's competitiveness in the global market.

Grape production in Goiás

is expected in the Cerrado, with results that demonstrate the sector's ability to adapt

to local conditions. In 2023, national production reached 1,757,891 tons on 77,019 hectares, with Goiás emerging as an example of innovation in vine cultivation. The adoption of inverted pruning, tested on high-quality grapes rich in polyphenols, contributed to the production of more structured and sophisticated wines. This advancement culminated in the creation of the "Winter Wines" seal, which recognizes the production of fine wines in non-traditional regions. Given the above, it can be concluded that winemaking in Goiás stands out as a successful case in the integration of innovation and tradition. The adaptation of specific harvest techniques, combined with the state's climate potential, boosts regional development and diversifies Brazil's production matrix. To consolidate its position in the national wine market, it will be essential to invest in large-scale production and the integration of technology and technical knowledge, ensuring the sustainable growth and competitiveness of Goiás wines.
