Abstract: Trends in phenological phases associated with climate change are widely reported, yet attribution remains rare. Attribution analysis of trends in wine-grape maturity in Australia indicates that two climate variables—warming and declines in soil water content—are driving a major portion of the earlier-ripening trend. Crop-yield reductions and evolving management practices have also contributed.
