As part of a crop forecasting study, the variability in grape berry maturity and weight within
individual clusters of Cabernet Sauvignon were determined. Each cluster was weighed as a …

The objective of this study was to explore the basis of variation in the size and composition
of grape berries. The investigation focussed on selected aspects of berry development and …

Beginning shortly after budbreak, 28 shoots from 14 mature field grown Cabernet Sauvignon
vines at Davis, California, were trained to grow upward, horizontally, and downward. The …

Factors influencing the size and soluble solids of individual berries within bunches were
investigated on field-grown Pinot Noir and greenhouse-grown Cabernet Sauvignon vines in …

Variability in the ripening and maturation of fruit impacts its composition and ultimate quality.
A study was conducted in 2006 and 2007 in two commercial vineyards in the Finger Lakes …

Abstract Background and Aims: Asynchronous berry development results in variation in
berry size and berry composition. Variation in berry size affects vineyard yield, wine quantity …

Abstract Background and Aims Variation in grape berry composition around the mean has
seldom been studied in its own right. From the perspective of the researcher and the …

Ripeness uniformity and berry size are thought to be key determinants of fruit quality, and
hence crop price, for winemaking, but there is little objective data to confirm the relationship …

It was shown that juice Brix is the primary factor determining grape berry density and that the
whole berry's density is about 98% of the density of its juice. This was true for several density …

An experiment in the Similkameen Valley near Cawston, BC examined the impact of three
shoot densities (20, 30, and 40 shoots/m of row) in combination with three cordon ages (year …
