1. Maturity Grape Indicators Obtained By Means Of Earth Observation TechniquesWine producers often need to buy grapes from growers. A good selection of grapes allows obtaining the desired wine quality. This paper presents a procedure to obtain by means of earth observation techniques indices and parameters used in the Spanish vineyards to monitor the state of the grapes. In this way is possible to monitor the ripeness of the grapes or the best time to harvest in such a way that growers can get the highest quality grapes, while producers of wine can select the most appr...
