Vine water status is one of the most influential factors in grape vigor, yield, and quality (Ojeda et al., 2002; Guilpart et al., 2014). Severe water deficits during the first stage of crop development (bud break to fruit set) impact yield in the current year and the following year. While during grape ripening, water availability impacts berry size, grape composition, and health status. Therefore, a correct assessment of plant water status allows for proper water management with an impact on grape yield and composition (McClymont et al, 2012; Pereyra et al., 2022).

La quantité et la qualité des flavonoïdes sont des éléments importants de la qualité de la baie. En particulier, les tannins contribuent de manière essentielle aux propriétés spécifiques des vins rouges telles que la couleur, l’astringence et l’amertume. Cependant, leur synthèse et leurs propriétés sont encore mal connues. Ainsi, la

Brazil has a recent history on geographical indications and product regulation for high quality wines. The first geographic indication implemented was the Vale dos Vinhedos Indication of Procedence (

Cover crops in vineyards bring numerous benefits, including enhanced soil health, improved water infiltration, and potential pest reduction. However, they also present risks, such as reduced vine vigour and yield due to competition for water and nutrients (Celette & Gary 2013, Garcia et al., 2018).

Sulfites (SO2) are commonly used in the wine industry to preserve products during storage for antiseptic and antioxidant purposes (Oliveira et al., 2011).
