Mold in the vineyards
Wine grapes are subject to mold when there’s too much moisture. Tight clustered Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Pinot Noir grapes are most susceptible to mold. The looser grape clusters of Cabernet Sauvignon allow for faster drying of moist grapes and thus make it less susceptible.
