Description:
Colorado Chardonnay is best when sunlight exposed and picked ripe. Our experience is that vertically dividing the canopy on the north side of vine row produces good sunlight exposure while providing cover on the south side of the canopy to protect the fruit from sunburn injury. If the canopy is allowed to continue to expand after canopy division, laterals will fill in on the north side that must be removed to retain the sunlight exposure. If Chardonnay is not sunlight exposed the wine will invariably have an undesirable herbaceous note. An open canopy also aids in powdery mildew control, a disease to which this variety is particularly susceptible.
