Description of irrigation treatments based on irrigation rate. Preveraison treatments were imposed from when the stem water potential (Ψstem) threshold of −0.8 MPa was reached (averaged across all plots) until veraison, and postveraison treatments were imposed from veraison until harvest. All plots were irrigated at 100% vine evapotranspiration (ETc) postharvest until the end of October. WC, well-watered control; ED, early deficit; LD, late deficit; DC, dry control.
