Testimonial from Todd Webster
“Keeping the natural acidity in the vineyard can be a challenge in Texas and other hot climate winemaking regions around the US.
Our most challenging grape to ripen is Mourvedre. It is a late bud breaking grape which is great to avoid the spring freezes that hit Texas regularly. The downside with Mourvedre is our hot climate during the growing season.
We tend to have high pH wines with low Brix grapes at harvest. Our vineyard site is not conducive to making a red wine from our Mourvedre grapes. Years ago, I decided to make dry rosé from this block. We were still getting high pH and low Brix fruit.
In 2016, I sprayed with LalVigne MATURE.
The results were amazing.We harvested the treated block 20 days earlier than the control block. They both had the same Brix when each block was harvested, but the pH was so
much lower from the grapes treated with LalVigne MATURE.
We will spray both blocks of Mourvedre this year (2017) with LalVigne MATURE and in the future.”

LalVigne MATURE on Mourvedre
Treated block harvested 20 days before control block to get better acidity and pH in a warm climate
