Green Harvest

Viticultural practice which, it is claimed, improves wine quality by encouraging fruit ripening. It is known as éclaircissage or vendange verts (green harvest) in French.

Mechanical harvesters are occasionally used to thin crops, but here individual berries or parts of bunches are removed. – The Oxford Companion to Wine
