Ripening failure

The act of turning into verjuice or failing to ripen and its result; a regional physiological or pathological process described in viticulture whereby grape berries stagnate in growth and remain small, green, and sour. This structural phenomenon is caused by climate stress factors such as severe drought or pathogenic attacks, compromising the normal ripening of the yield.
