Abstract:: Different fermentation practices are generally believed to affect wine composition and wine quality of Pinot noir. Oregon winemakers, for example, commonly attribute differences in color and phenolic extraction to differences in processing. There is, however, little information from replicated trials with controls demonstrating the cause and affect of these perceived...

Abstract:: The new varietal trial at SOES was monitored during the growing season and during ripening by David Sugar and Porter Lombard (see Winegrape Variety Trial in Southern Oregon). The 1993 vintage was a late ripening season and not all the varieties developed sufficient maturity for experimental wine production. Tempranillo, Viognier,...

Creator:: Price, Steve, Watson, Barney, and Valladao, Marilin
Abstract:: Variability in fruit set and yield is a serious problem in Oregon viticulture, particularly with Pinot noir. Climatic variation during the flowering period contributes significantly to this problem by affecting fruit set and cluster weight. Cool wet weather during bloom results in poor set, small clusters, and low yields. Seasons...

Creator:: Price, Steve, Lombard, Porter, Connelly, Anne, and Watson, Barney
Abstract:: Objectives: · Evaluate canopy management options available to Oregon growers for their effects on yield, grape composition, and wine quality. · Investigate the relationships between vine growth, cluster environment, grape composition and wine quality. · Develop techniques that improve the capabilities of Oregon winegrape growers to obtain consistent yields with...

Creator:: Price, Steve
Abstract:: Minimal pruning continues to look like a production system worthy of consideration in small scale commercial trials. In 1993, in a trial on Chardonnay at Woodhall vineyard, minimal pruning was compared to standard cane pruned vines on a vertical trellis. This was the second year of the trial.

Creator:: Price, Steve and Watson, Barney
Abstract:: Trellis design and canopy management have been major research topics in viticulture during the last ten years. The article by Dave Adelsheim in the first edition of the "Oregon Winegrowers Guide" and the presentations of Shaulis, Smart, Carboneau, Intrerari and Koblet at the 1984 Cool Climate Symposium in Eugene were...

Creator:: Price, Steve and Lombard, Porter
Abstract:: Objectives: 1. Evaluate canopy management options available to Oregon growers including trellising and pruning for their effects on yield and grape composition. 2. Investigate the relationships between vine growth, cluster environment cluster morphology, and grape composition. 3. Develop techniques that improve the capabilities of Oregon winegrape growers to maximize wine...
