harvested with maximum fruit flavours Explanation: Implication being that they could have waited longer and got higher sugar content, and therefore more alcohol. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 mins (2014-01-27 13:53:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Given your sentence, you migth have to change this to something like, "harvested when the grapes' red fruit flavours were at their peak". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2014-01-27 14:08:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I frequently translate harvest reports where they say that the alternation of cool nights and hot day time temperatures enabled the grapes' fruity flavours to be preserved. The suggestion being that more tannic, riper flavours would have developed without the cold nights. Reference: http://winelistaustralia.com.au/winery.php?pid=45&winery=Tal... |

The grapes are deliberately harvested when the hints of red fruit are greatest Explanation: volontairement here means deliberately - it's a choice to harvest at this time. |
