Q

How affect Altitude / Elevation effect to vineyard?

A

zwith every 100 meters of rise in elevation, temperatures drop by one degree.

In hot wine regions, increased elevation provides cooler temperature that help to slow grape riping and produce more balanced wines.

Q

How Wind effect vineyards?

A

Depending on the direction from which winds originate, wind can cool a growing region (from cool ocean water), or lend warmth and drier air (from dessert) helping prevent mold or rot.

Q

How does “Steeper Hillsides” affect how vines grow?

A

Provide better drainage of soil, are often less fertile due to erosion(浸食する) and lower chance to frost, as cool air will fall from the upper slope.
They are harder to maintain during the growing season, and to harvest.

Q

What is “Valley Floors”?

How does “Valley Floors” affect how vines grow?

A

Valley Floors are the lowest part of bottom of a valley.

Poor air, are susceptible to frost and are sometimes have overly fertile soil.

22
Q

What is “Aspect”?

How does “Aspect” affect how vines grow?

A

Aspect is slopes facing the sun during much of the day are the warmest, whereas those facing away from sun are the coolest.

Either can be desirable depending on the climate of the region and on whether rising or retention of acidity is most desires.

23
Q

What is the important properties of various soil types? (3)

A

-Draining of water

24
Q

What does grapes skins provide to wine?

25
Q

What does pulp provide to wine?

A

-Water
-Sugar
Increase as grapes ripen
-Acids
Decrease as grapes as grape ripen
-Seed/Pips
Bitter flavors if presses

27
Q

What are factors to consider when choosing a grape variety for a specific vineyard?

A

-First and foremost is local law.

28
Q

What is “Viticulture Propagation”?

A

Term for grape vine breeding
(ブドウの繁殖)

29
Q

What is “Hybrids”?

What is “Crosses”?

A

Are vines of the same species combined to create a new variety.

Vitis vinifera x Vitis vinifera

32
Q

What is “Clones” vine?

A

Are identical genetic reproductions of a single vine.

33
Q

Why do hybrids,
crosses, and clones
exist?

A

Were originally cultivated in response to phylloxera.

34
Q

How does Cool Climate effect to wine style?

A

-Grapes ripen slowly and moderately
-Less sugar produced
-Acidity remains high
-Less alcohol potencial
-Flavors are more tart and lean, less ripe and juicy

35
Q

How does Warm Climate effect to wine style?

A

-Grapes ripen fully
-More sugar is produced
-Acidity is lower
-Higher alcohol potental
-Flavors are more ripe, lush and just

36
Q

What is “Vineyard Architecture “?

A

How the vines in the vineyard are laid out.

37
Q

What is “Green Harvest”?

A

A crop thinning method of dropping or cutting unripe grape bunches off the vine before harvest to decrease yields and allow the vine to focus it’s energy and nutrients on fewer, higher quality bunches.

収穫するブドウの品質を上げるために。まだみが緑の段階でいくつか切り捨てること。”間引き”

38
Q

What is “Canopy Management”?

A

Management the growth of the vine’s leaves, often to shade or expose the grape bunches or to determine the flow of air through vine rows.
canopy = leaf

房の周りの環境を葉っぱの密集状態を改善することによって変えてやると、房には太陽の光が届きやすくなり、同時に空気の流れがよくなって湿度の状態が改善され病気の発生も抑えられる

39
Q

What is “Irrigation”?

A

Providing the vine with water through an array of method.
Whether this practice is allowed or not is governed by law in many
European wine regions

A
47
Q

Most quality grape varieties we see today are made from which
vine species?

A

Vitis Vinifera

48
Q

Explain why “green harvest” is practiced

A

Green harvesting is the harvesting or dropping of unripe (aka green) green clusters of grapes from the vine. And allow the vine to focus its energy and nutrients on fewer, higher quality bunches.

「間引き」収穫するブドウの品質を上げるために、まだ実が緑色の段階で、いくつか切り捨てる事。
