Ripeness in viticulture

Pinot noir grapes in the early stages of veraison. As the grapes ripen, the concentration of phenolic compounds like anthocyanins replaces the green color of chlorophyll in the grape berries.

Pinot noir grapes that are destined for sparkling wine will be considered ripe much earlier than Pinot noir destined for still red wine.

Vineyard management techniques such as canopy management can influence the ripening process of grapes by balancing the amount of foliage needed for photosynthesis versus excessive foliage that shades the grapes and competes for the grapevine's resources.

In viticulture, ripeness is the completion of the ripening process of wine grapes on the vine which signals the beginning of harvest. What exactly constitutes ripeness will vary depending on what style of wine is being produced (sparkling, still, fortified, rosé, dessert wine, etc.) and what the winemaker and viticulturist personally believe constitutes ripeness. Once the grapes are harvested, the physical and chemical components of the grape which will influence a wine's quality are essentially set so determining the optimal moment of ripeness may be considered the most crucial decision in winemaking.
