Managing vineyard variability for a targeted winemaking outcome

摘要

WHAT DOES VARIABILITY in a vineyard mean? Variability exists in all vineyards. Variation occurs within and between vines, for example in shoot length, berry size and in berry composition. The variability that this project focuses on is the natural variability across a vineyard block where some vines tend to be more vigorous and fertile than others, most likely due to impacts of difference in soil, elevation, and aspect of the vineyard site.
