Abstract
⺠We measured vineyard light and temperature, and winegrape color and astringency. ⺠We developed models to relate fruit composition and environmental conditions. ⺠A cool previous fall and early summer promote desirable fruit characteristics. ⺠Warm springs tend to increase tannins (responsible for astringency). ⺠High levels of light decreased desirable compounds; growers could shade fruit more.
