[00:00:00.000]People often ask the question,
[00:00:01.810]what this French word, veraison, means.
[00:00:05.530]And basically, is I say, it is a French term
[00:00:09.410]for the onset of ripening.
[00:00:11.800]The beginning of ripening
[00:00:14.650]is a major event in the development of the grapevine,
[00:00:18.520]and of the cluster.
[00:00:20.720]And the color change
[00:00:23.730]in a red cultivar,
[00:00:25.640]red wine cultivar, will begin to turn
[00:00:29.940]from green to purple,
[00:00:33.050]and of course the grape berry itself begins
[00:00:37.370]to soften, and so you can actually feel it on ...
[00:00:41.561]Veraison, on green and white wine grapes, also.
[00:00:45.570]They don't change color as dramatically as red ones do.
[00:00:50.680]Red wine grapes do,
[00:00:51.930]but you can still see a color change,
[00:00:54.930]but the key really is that the berry begins to soften.
[00:00:59.170]And that's easily understood
[00:01:01.420]by just giving it a little squeeze.
[00:01:05.660]Like the grape said, when the elephant stepped on it,
[00:01:09.060]it didn't complain,
[00:01:10.790]it just gave a little wine.
[00:01:13.658](upbeat music)
