What grapes and wines to expect with the drought?

Abstract

these events. Vit-iculturists may need to implement irrigation and soil management practices to mitigate the impact of drought conditions. Likewise, being able to predict the oenological potential of the grapes at harvest allows winemakers to plan and adapt the criteria of harvest and winemaking techniques to mitigate the effect of high temperatures and drought on the composition of grapes and wines. Overall, the results of the study's findings under-score the importance of ongoing research and management strategies to address the environmental challenges facing Uruguay's grape production, and maintain the quality and availability of wines.
