Background and aim: The presence of certain forms of nitrogen in grape must at harvest is necessary to ensure a smooth fermentation and has an influence on the final quality of the wine. A trial was set up to show the impact of the trimming height on the nitrogen...
Background and aim: Grapevine row direction, canopy exposure and grape maturity can define the sensory attributes of wine. From this perspective, canopy exposure that favours colour intensity, astringency, aroma intensity and balanced acidity could result in...
Background and aims Terroir factors and vineyard practices largely determine canopy and root system functioning. In this study, changes in soil conditions, multi-level (vertical, horizontal) light interception (quantitative, photographic, schematic, 3D modelled),...
Background and aims Bud fruitfulness is a key component of grapevine reproductive performance as it determines crop production for the following growing season. While canopy microclimate can impact bud fruitfulness, the effects of canopy management practices on bud...
The aim of this study was to determine if vine regrowth can be used as a strategy to significantly delay ripening by close to two months. Project layout: The experiment was done in Spain on Tempranillo grapes grafted onto R110, for one season (2017). Vines were...
