Leaf removal is a viticultural practice applied in order to improve fruit-zone microclimate and berry quality. The aim of this trial was to evaluate the effect of post-flowering leaf removal on maturation and biosynthesis of terpenes and and C13-norisoprenoids in Ribolla Gialla grapes. In the seasons 2015 and 2016, basic maturation parameters were nearly unaffected by leaf removal. Contrarily, in the second season, 2016, one week before harvest, the concentration of several aroma compounds was significantly improved by leaf removal. In conclusion, the trial here showed that leaf removal improves the concentration of aroma compounds in the grapes, but the selection of the date of harvest is more crucial in order to maintain them during vinification.

The influence of fruit zone leaf removal treatments (0, 50, and 100%) on grapevine canopy structure, incidence of bunch rot (Botrytis cinerea Pers.:Fr.), yield components, fruit and wine composition and wine sensory attributes was studied on Vitis vinifera L. 'Optima' and 'Cabernet franc'. The 50 and 100% leaf removal reduced leaf layer number, percent interior leaves and percent interior clusters. Yield was reduced between 29 and 46%. Severity of bunch rot in Optima and incidence and severity for Cabernet franc were reduced by leaf removal. Leaf removal improved colour, aroma and palatability of both Optima and Cabernet franc wines. Key words: Botrytis cinerea, defoliation, canopy management

The impact of summer canopy management was investigated in Vitis vinifera L., cv. Riesling. Sugar and organic acid concentrations were measured for the six defoliation treatments. Titratable acidity (TA) was measured twice before harvest and once at the date of harvest. The same measurements were done twice during wine ageing. The young wine was measured for concentrations of malic, tartaric and volatile acids. Treatments with appropriate defoliation, where shortened lateral shoots (up to two leaves) were retained, supported the process of wine grape ripening to the greatest extend in the cool climate of the Czech Republic, while treatments with almost no defoliation yielded the worst results. The TA decreased during fruit ripening after veraison and continued to decrease during wine maturation. The tendency of decreasing with time was shown for the malic to tartaric acid ratio as well. Concentrations of volatile acids were sufficiently low in each of the treatments.
