1 Measured effects of elevated temperature on vine phenology, yield, berry and wine attributes Victor Sadras, Martin Moran & Paul Petrie South Australian R&D Institute, Treasury Wine Estates Funded by Grape and Wine R&D Corporation State NRM Program Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Vintage Melbourne, 19 th June 2013

2 Aims Methods, data sources and reliability Measured effects of elevated temperature on: time of harvest yield berry traits juice and wine attributes

3 Papers retrieved searching temperature + grapevine (Web of Science) 160 Number of publications Number of citations Year

4 Effect of temperature on vines and wines: indirect vs direct methods Indirect methods comparison between regions, vintages, row orientation large confounded effects Direct methods side-by-side experimental comparison of treatments involving different temperatures large to small confounded effects

5 Sadras & Petrie 2011 Austr J Grape Wine Res 17, 199 Regional or seasonal comparisons confound temperature with radiation, humidity, etc (+ soil, + management) Indirect methods cannot prove cause and effect Regional classification as a function of temperature is ok for marketing but is an oversimplification

Reproduces the daily and seasonal cycles of temperature and vapour pressure deficit. 2. Does not increase relative humidity, hence allowing for increased vapour pressure deficit. 3. Minimises biologically important secondary effects. 4. Has structural strength to withstand the weather (particularly wind) to ensure a reasonable longevity. 5. Allows for number and size of replicates required for statistical resolution and viticultural needs, including sufficient fruit for meaningful wine production. 0 1/6/11 10/6/11 19/6/11 28/6/11 1/6/11 10/6/11 19/6/11 28/6/11 Date 0.0

40 Conclusions

41 In a warmer Barossa Nonlinear effect on phenology Smaller than expected effect on maturity (3 days per o C) Asymmetric effect on yield mediated by bunch number 46% reduction to 177% increase Apparent depletion of starch in trunks? Larger, more open stomata; leaf transpiration and photosynthesis per unit leaf area Variety-dependent responses (ph, TA) Decoupling of berry traits and wine attributes
