- Association Differences in vine water status between sites were highly correlated with the earliness of shoot growth cessation and veraison.
- Intervention effect Water deficit accelerated sugar accumulation and malic acid breakdown in grape juice.
- Intervention effect Early water deficit during the growth period increased the phenolic content of wines in both seasons.
- Intervention effect Limited water availability seemed to increase glycoconjugates of the main aromatic components of grapes.
- Intervention effect Water deficit increased the levels of bound volatile compounds of the experimental wines in both years.
- Intervention effect Wines made from grapes of stressed vineyards were preferred in tasting trials.
