Some vineyards from ‘Rueda’ Appellation dÒrigine area (Spain) tends to develop an excessive vegetative growth which often leads to massive shading. The resulting shade favours long growth periods, early fruit ripening and fruit size and can reduce flower differentiation for the following year. Grape composition might be negatively affected by shading as a result of an unfavourable light microclimate in leaves and clusters (Smart, 1987).
