Abstract
It is crucial to optimise the choice of picking date to get the most out of a harvest. Close monitoring of grape ripening dynamics and comparison with previous years and other vineyards/regions are necessary. Due to the climate challenge, high vintage-to-vintage variability and unprecedented vintage scenarios, it has become risky to use previous references. Providing a standardised and detailed phenological scale to monitor/record ripening stages is paramount for the industry. The need for accuracy is quite high in order to analyse the dataset and thereby collectively build up assumptions on the influence of every event on fruit juice quality, and draw conclusions on the most sustainable practices.
