This trial posed the question, “Can potassium be used to enhance wine grape quality?”
The answer is yes.

The trial shows that Potassium can be applied to wine grapes to achieve improved
colour, and Brix, and to bring forward harvest dates by at least one week. Studies
in Australia and New Zealand have shown that the use of a commercial potassium product
containing no nitrogen and balanced amounts of potassium and phosphorous (0-5-20)
can increase colour and brix levels when applications are targeted to specific timings
during the season, such as veraison and before harvest.
