Leaf fall

Wine offers for "Leaf fall" in find+buy

Last stage (also leaf fall) in the annual vegetation cycle of the vine after maturation = ripening phase (see also BBCH code). In botany, the shedding of leaves, fruit and other plant parts such as leaf and flower buds, twigs, spines, thorns or inflorescences is known as abscission. In the northern hemisphere, leaf fall takes place from November to December, in the southern hemisphere from May to June. In temperate latitudes, leaf drop is usually initiated by the first night frost.
