The latest and most in-depth Australian research into the effects of a warming climate on vine physiology, berry composition and wine attributes is revealed in a new final report, released to industry last month.
As well as presenting the Australian and world wine industry with a window into a future of hotter temperatures, the project suggests technological applications and adaptions in the vineyard and winery that could help industry adapt to warmer and drier futures.
The final 297-page report titled ‘A window into hotter and drier futures: Phenological shifts and adaptive practices’, is the culmination of a three-year research project, funded by the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation (GWRDC), Department of Agriculture, and complementary State Natural Resource Management Programs.
