Selective leaf removal from fruit zones of mature Riesling grapevines grown at two northern Virginia (ap39°N) sites was evaluated over two seasons for its influence on total grape glycosides. Two to four leaves per shoot were removed three weeks after bloom from around fruit clusters grown on a high (1.8 m above ground) bilateral cordon at one vineyard, and a low (1.2 m) bilateral cordon at the other. Leaf removal increased the percentage of sunlight penetration into the canopy fruit zone in three of four measurements. The concentration of total glycosides, estimated by the analysis of glycosyl-glucose, was mostly higher in the fruit from leaf-removed vines than control vines for both the low-trained and high-trained vineyards. The sum of the concentration of selected bound monoterpene alcohols (geraniol, nerol, and linalool), and bound aromatic alcohols (benzyl alcohol and 2-phenylethanol), was also higher in fruit of leaf-removed canopies than controls at most sampling dates.

Key words: glycosides, Riesling, leaf removal, glycosyl-glucose, monoterpenes, glycoconjugates
