Climate change is presenting significant challenges for grape production, notably by increasing the severity and spread of grapevine leafroll disease (GLD).
In the context of climate change, the increasing frequency and intensity of hot and dry vintages lead to profound modifications in the physiological functioning of the vine and the composition of the grapes.
Understanding the climatic drivers of vintage variability is essential for interpreting wine typicity under climate change, as climate strongly influences grape composition and wine quality.
Empedrado is located in the coastal range of the Maule Valley and represents a distinctive viticultural ecosystem for the País variety.
Climate change is making rainfall less predictable, sparking uncertainty for producers regarding the availability of water for irrigated and dryland (rainfed) vineyards in the future.
Climate change is shifting the timing and conditions of winegrape berry ripening, impacting development and composition (van Leeuwen & Darriet, 2016).
Climate change substantially challenges winegrowing regions, threatening terroir stability through heatwaves, altered precipitation patterns, and increased drought frequency.
Climate change has intensified the need to understand how grapevines respond to increasingly warmer and more variable environments, especially in emerging viticultural regions where tropical and subtropical climates are becoming relevant for high-quality wine production.
More than 40% of the Rioja Alavesa vineyards have an average slope higher than 10%, making them susceptible to erosion.
The focus on sustainability and climate change emphasises the need to compare cultivation systems based on their economic, ecological and productive characteristics.
