Sensory Evaluation of Merlot Wines from Research on Vineyard Irrigation Frequency and Nitrogen Fertilization
Date:
2009 Synopsis:
The sensory quality of wines made in 2008 from a study of irrigation and N fertilization of Merlot vines will be evaluated by BCWGC Conference attendees. Treatments in the study included irrigation to provide the same total amount of water but applied daily or every 3 days; and N fertilization at 0 or 15 lb/ac applied at veraison in addition to the normal applications 25 and 20 lb/ac applied at budbreak and bloom, respectively.
