Climate and viticulture are indisputably linked and thus knowledge of the predominant weather and climate conditions of a given area is essential for optimum variety selection, viable production and overall wine quality. In this study, an assessment of the current (1981–2010) and future conditions (2021–2050 and 2061–2090) through principal climatic elements and six bioclimatic indices (i.e. Growing season average temperature,...
