Last Wednesday September 16, GGANS and Perennia have hosted the fifth Best Practices session of the season. In this session, the topics discussed were the climatic conditions of the current growing season, grape ripening parameters, grape analyses and the some of the vineyard activities before the harvest. In the following list, it is possible to see the speakers and their respective topic.
Due to the circumstances of this year, the usual summer tour of GGANS was held through Zoom. Thanks to the technology, we were able to have Kevin Ker from Ontario updating us about the different pesticides for the next growing season, visited the vineyard of Jean Guy d’Entremont in Yarmouth, had a virtual tasting with Luckett vineyard with his Winemaker, Mike Mainguy and learned more about China as a wine country thanks to Kevin.

Currently, most of the vines grown in the province have reached or are approaching complete veraison. At this phenological stage, the berries turn from green to yellow, pink, or red depending on the variety, start the development of flavors and aromas, and accumulate sugar for the winemaking process.
