Abstract

Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon varieties were grafted onto phylloxera-resistant rootstocks in a vineyard not yet infested with the insect in the south central coastal region. Rootstocks influenced growth and yield, as well as composition and quality of juice and wine, but a major consideration would be phylloxera resistance.
