The onset of ripening when grape berries soften and change colour

Véraison is the transition in a grapevine's season when berries stop growing mainly by cell division and begin to ripen: they soften, start to accumulate sugar, lose acidity, and change colour, with red varieties turning from green toward purple and white varieties becoming translucent. It marks the shift from the first to the second growth phase of the berry and is a key timing cue for canopy, irrigation, and harvest decisions. Coombe and McCarthy's 2000 Dynamics of grape berry growth and physiology of ripening describes this double-sigmoid growth pattern and the physiological changes at its inflection. The referent is a developmental stage of the grape berry, a single viticultural construct rather than a cross-field collision.[1]
