	Viticulturist Career Description \| Jobs \| Career Choices
		Viticulturists are responsible for the production of grapes under a wide variety of natural conditions, from the preparation of the land, planting, trellising, pruning, and canopy management to the determination of optimum ripeness and harvesting of grapes.
		Viticulturists are able to manage both table and wine grapes because management is based on plant science principles and processes such as sunlight interception, photosynthesis, etc. Viticulturists provide guidance to wine farmers how to manipulate their vineyards to obtain the best results.
		Viticulturists are employed as researchers by the Agricultural Research Council, or as managers on estate wine farms, other wine farms, and private wine companies or as consultants.

	North American Pinot Noir: Chapter One
		Written descriptions and surviving images, as we have seen, are insufficient for conclusive varietal identification, and many varieties crucial to the species tree have disappeared entirely in the course of time, leaving what amount to blank spaces in the pedigree of modern varieties.
		Meredith’s extraordinary work has established, inter alia, that petite sirah is not syrah but durif; that zinfandel is identical to Croatian crljenak kastelanski, and that cabernet sauvignon, the most respected grape in Bordeaux, is the offspring of sauvignon blanc and cabernet franc.
		Viticulturists observe, however, that pinot noir actually exhibits a wide variety of leaf shapes.

		As a consequence of California's recent heat wave, grape growers, winemakers and viticulturists have been scrambling to keep their vines healthy in time for harvest.
		Fletcher also said that many viticulturists can get a rough estimate of the water status of their vines by just feeling the leaves with their fingertips.
		"I think most wineries and viticulturists have an understanding of all these things, but I don't know that everybody is as thorough as we are in all three of those aspects," Fletcher concluded.
