Pin t Noir?Winegrowers are trying to preserve the flavor of your favorite reds and whites as climate change alters the compounds in grapes

The over-vine cooling treatment was similar to a micro-
sprinkler installation with spaghetti tube risers about a
foot above the canopy, terminating in the misting heads.

Investigating Low-Volume Approaches to Vineyard Cooling
High heat can damage both fruit and foliage. A group in Napa is investigating alternatives
to overhead impact sprinklers.
by Mark Greenspan
In last month's column I indicated that a survey of Sonoma/Mendocino growers revealed that use
of overhead sprinklers to cool fruit during hot weather periods is a common practice in warmer
growing regions of the North Coast. The downside of overhead sprinklers is that they are
tremendous users of water and suck up water at the most demanding time of day. We don't know if
the dry spring rainfall patterns experienced in 2007 and 2008 were a harbinger of things to come,
but water conservation can be expected to be on the minds of our industry for now and for good.
Why Cool Vines?
The moderate climate enjoyed by the North Coast
is frequently interrupted by periods of high heat.
The heat waves can reach well into the 100s,
sometimes reaching above 115°F. While foliage is
sensitive to heat, it has the advantage of
transpiration, which is a natural way in which
leaves cool themselves by evaporating water from
their interiors. On the other hand, fruit lack active
stomatal pores and cannot cool themselves as
effectively as leaves. Pigmented fruit will absorb
additional energy from the sun as it reflects less
sunlight energy than light-skinned grapes. Outer
berries, exposed to direct sunlight, may reach 15°F
above ambient temperature. High temperatures are

Adaptation in Action: Vineyard Cooling Trial
°C

The over-vine cooling treatment was similar to a micro-
sprinkler installation with spaghetti tube risers about a
foot above the canopy, terminating in the misting heads.
The under-vine cooling treatment provided a mist pattern
that remained low to the ground and did not wet the
foliage or the fruit.
In last month's column I indicated that a survey of Sonoma/Mendocino growers revealed that use
of overhead sprinklers to cool fruit during hot weather periods is a common practice in warmer
growing regions of the North Coast. The downside of overhead sprinklers is that they are
tremendous users of water and suck up water at the most demanding time of day. We don't know if
the dry spring rainfall patterns experienced in 2007 and 2008 were a harbinger of things to come,
but water conservation can be expected to be on the minds of our industry for now and for good.
Why Cool Vines?
The moderate climate enjoyed by the North Coast
is frequently interrupted by periods of high heat.
The heat waves can reach well into the 100s,
sometimes reaching above 115°F. While foliage is
sensitive to heat, it has the advantage of
transpiration, which is a natural way in which
leaves cool themselves by evaporating water from
their interiors. On the other hand, fruit lack active
stomatal pores and cannot cool themselves as
effectively as leaves. Pigmented fruit will absorb
additional energy from the sun as it reflects less
sunlight energy than light-skinned grapes. Outer
berries, exposed to direct sunlight, may reach 15°F
above ambient temperature. High temperatures are
detrimental to fruit and wine quality. Apart from
the obvious consequences, such as sunburn,
shrivel and loss of pigment, the heat may also lead
to changes in flavor, aroma and mouthfeel
compounds and precursors. Regardless of
subtleties, it is always heartbreaking to tend a
vineyard all year only to have a mid- or late-season
heat wave shrivel fruit, creating overly cooked,
pruney and raisiny flavors in the wines--not to
mention the yield losses.

January 15, 2009 Investigating Low-Volume Approaches to Vineyard Cooling High heat can damage both fruit and foliage. A group in Napa is investigating alternatives to overhead impact sprinklers. by Mark Greenspan In last month's column I indicated that a survey of Sonoma/Mendocino growers revealed that use of overhead sprinklers to cool fruit during hot weather periods is a common practice in warmer growing regions of the North Coast. The downside of overhead sprinklers is that they are tremendous users of water and suck up water at the most demanding time of day. We don't know if the dry spring rainfall patterns experienced in 2007 and 2008 were a harbinger of things to come, but water conservation can be expected to be on the minds of our industry for now and for good. Why Cool Vines? The moderate climate enjoyed by the North Coast is frequently interrupted by periods of high heat. The heat waves can reach well into the 100s, sometimes reaching above 115°F. While foliage is sensitive to heat, it has the advantage of transpiration, which is a natural way in which leaves cool themselves by evaporating water from their interiors. On the other hand, fruit lack active stomatal pores and cannot cool themselves as effectively as leaves. Pigmented fruit will absorb additional energy from the sun as it reflects less sunlight energy than light-skinned grapes.

Adaptation in Action: Vineyard Cooling Trial °C Courtesy of Walsh Vineyards Management The over-vine cooling treatment was similar to a micro- sprinkler installation with spaghetti tube risers about a foot above the canopy, terminating in the misting heads. The under-vine cooling treatment provided a mist pattern that remained low to the ground and did not wet the foliage or the fruit.

Pigmented fruit will absorb additional energy from the sun as it reflects less sunlight energy than light-skinned grapes. Outer berries, exposed to direct sunlight, may reach 15°F above ambient temperature. High temperatures are detrimental to fruit and wine quality. Apart from the obvious consequences, such as sunburn, shrivel and loss of pigment, the heat may also lead to changes in flavor, aroma and mouthfeel compounds and precursors. Regardless of subtleties, it is always heartbreaking to tend a vineyard all year only to have a mid- or late-season heat wave shrivel fruit, creating overly cooked, pruney and raisiny flavors in the wines--not to mention the yield losses.
