It is anticipated that at least one additional clone (Merlot 347) will be added when it becomes available in 1999. All clones are being propagated on 101-14 rootstock. Plots will be located in 5 vineyards from Ashland to the Applegate Valley. Each vineyard will have 20 vines of each clone,...
The 18 winegrape varieties in this trial were in sixth leaf in 1995. Vines were pruned in February to either a Scott Henry (3-4 permanent arms on a vertical trellis using two fruiting wires 12 inches apart at 30 and 42 inch height) plus 2 extra disposal canes on some...
The 18 winegrape varieties in this trial were in fifth leaf in 1994. Vines were pruned in February to either a Scott Henry (4 arms on a vertical trellis using two fruiting wires 12 inches apart at 30 and 42 inch height) or a guyot (a double arm on a...
Four year old vines of 18 varieties were cane pruned, trained to a Scott Henry, thinned before veraison, and harvested in October and November 1993. Two of the varieties, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, were used as standards. Only four varieties were spur pruned to reduce cropping or cluster size: Dolcetto,...
The immediate objective of this project is to establish a vineyard at the Southern Oregon Experiment Station in which previously untested wine grape cultivars will be evaluated. The ultimate goal is to characterize the production and wine qualitypotential of these cultivars in southern Oregon.
Climatic conditions in southern Oregon are unique among the wine-growing regions of the Pacific Northwest. Previous experience has shown that one strength of this region lies in the production of warm-climate cultivars which may not mature properly in other regions of Oregon. The current selection of such cultivars with known...
To characterize the cultural aspects, maturation, production, and wine quality of several untested Italian, French, and Spanish wine cultivars in southern Oregon.
