Pulling Into Fall Harvest
As we enter the later months of summer and prepare for harvest, our vineyard crew has been diligently working on pulling leaves. There are a few reasons why we pull leaves. The first is that it allows more air to flow through the fruiting zone. This is particularly beneficial in humid climates, such as ours, because it keeps grapes drier, reducing susceptibility to fungi.
We also pull leaves because the more sunshine the grapes see, the warmer they get. Increased temperature in the fruiting zone increases enzymatic activity inside the berry. In simpler terms, it can reduce acidity in the grapes. Increased temperature can also affect how the wine will later taste and smell, as well as its sugar content.
