Abstract

The Oregon Vintage Report symposium for 2019 was held at Linfield College on March 2, 2020. The event took a deep dive into discussions of climate and plant physiological conditions during the 2019 vintage in Oregon, with an advanced focus on the Willamette Valley. Presentations analyzed the 2019 climate and discussed what impact this had on phenolic trends, in addition to an introduction to the world's most advanced understanding of testing for smoke impact. Specific presentations in this video include:

  • Introductory Remarks: Welcome delivered by Mark Anderson.

Created in 2010, the Vintage Report is an annual forum that aims to gather the wine industry’s most prominent vintners and scientists to discuss the previous vintage, present the latest innovative research, and share technical advances in viticulture and enology. The goal is to foster innovation for sustainable advancements in winemaking through scientific presentations and lectures from the industry’s leading minds. The Vintage Report aims to combine scientific results with empirical knowledge and experience. Topics discussed are deeply rooted in the region where the forum is held, and the analysis delivered at the Vintage Report is driven by vineyard data that paints a picture of local terroir.
