What factors can affect sunlight?

A

Latitude - Day length greater further from Equator

Seas, Lakes and Rivers - Near large bodies of water more cloud cover, Centre of landmasses tend to be sunnier

Aspect - A slopes aspect affect the amount of sunlight, steeper slopes = more benefit

Q

At what age are most vines replacedWhat are the pros / cons of ‘old vines’

A

Most replaced between 30~50 Years

Old vines produce higher quality fruit (more concentrated flavour) partly due to lower yield per vine.

Lower yield might not be cost efficient andolder vines more susceptible to disease

Name 3 diseases that threaten vines and how they are controlled

A

Powdery and Downy mildew - Likes warm, humid. If affected grapes lose fruity flavour.

Powdery treated with sulfur based spray. Downy treated with Bordeaux mixture copper based spray. Can also be managed by canopy management to max air flow * More spraying in Maritime climates where there is more rainfall.

Grey rot (Botrytis cinerea) - Likes damp. Taints flavours and colour loss in red grapes. Best managed by canopy management and not picking too late.

Q

Why is vine bud management important?

A

The vine stores Carbohydrates over Winter. If too few buds each will have access to too much energy and will grow too vigorously.

If too many buds, each will not have access to enough energy and the vine will struggle to ripen its crop load.

Q

What are the 3 ways to grow grapes to reduce intense chemical usage?

A

Sustainable agriculture - Chemicals permitted but minimised by growers understanding life cycles of pests and introducing predators of the pests. Monitor weather to prevent pest or disease before it occurs.

Organic agriculture - Small doses of traditional treatments permitted only.

Biodynamic agriculture - Organic practices + philosophy and cosmology. Cycles of planets, moon and stars plus homeopathic treatments.

Q

Briefly explain the effect of

Latitude, Altitude, Ocean Currents Fog, Soil and Aspect on vine development and grape growing

A

Latitude -Usually between 30~50 degrees N and S of the Equator

Altitude - As altitude increases temp drops allowing growth closer to Equator

Ocean Currents - Deliver localised warming/cooling in certain regions

Fog - Can cool an otherwise unsuitable growing area e.g. California, Casablanca Valley, Chile

Soil - Dark soils radiate more heat than lighter. High water retaining soils take longer to warm up

Aspect - Direction slope faces, facing Equator get most heat. Steeper slopes accentuate effect.

Q

What 3 main reasons can influence planting density?

A
  • Limited water - Low density allows vines to take limited water without competing against the roots of neighbouring vines.
  • Low levels of nutrients and sufficient rainfall - Risk is vigorous vegetative growth rather than fruit. High density planting provides competition for resources to limit vegetative growth. Bud management is also important. High density and strict bud control common in Europe.
  • High nutrients and sufficient rainfall - High density planting not enough so, instead, low density with vines with multiple cordons or canes.

72
Q

Which of these statements about too much rain near harvest is false?

The Grapes become bigger

Flavours and sugars will be diluted

The size of the crop increases

Increases the colour in red wines

A

Increases the colour in red wines

73
Q

VSP (Vertical shoot positioning) is a trellising system often used when growing e.g. Chardonnay in a cool climate. Why would a grower use this system?

A

In cool climates grapes can struggle to ripen fully. A grower can help the grapes to ripen by increasing exposure to sunlight and heat. In VSP, the shoots are trained up the wires, meaning the grapes are not shaded by any shoots that might otherwise hang down. Their exposure to sunlight and heat is therefore maximised.

74
Q

When does vine pruning take place?

A

Every Winter and Summer

75
Q

What are the pros and cons of Machine and Hand harvesting?

A

Machine (shakes the trunk)
- Not selective, often collecting unhealthy, unripe and damaged grapes. Can only be used on flat or slight incline vineyards

+ Speed, can work through the (cool) night meaning no need to cool grapes before fermentation.

Hand
- Slower and more Labour Intensive = more expensive

+ Can be used on steep vineyards e.g. Douro, Mosel, N. Rhone. Allows grape selection ‘on the go’, less damage to grapes, stems retained = clean, fresh juice for white and essential for red ‘whole bunch’ winemaking.

76
Q

Which of these about vineyards near oceans is NOT true?

Vineyards often experience wetter conditions

Diurnal temperature range tends to be lower

Vineyards beside oceans are cooled by ocean currents

There is often a lower risk of frost

A

Vineyards beside oceans are cooled by ocean currents

77

A

Grey Rot

Q

Explain ‘Diurnal Range’

A

The diff between daytime and night time temps.Cool nights slow loss of aroma and acidity, warm nights accelerate ripening.

85
Q

What are the 3 main reasons for trellising a vineyard?

A

i. Arrangement of young shoots controls (maximise/limit) amount of sunlight getting into canopy.
