Uneven temperatures, heavy rain, strong winds and hail can disrupt the cycle. Poor weather can abruptly shake off the pollen from the vines preventing some flowers from pollinating. The effects from cooler weather, including the incomplete pollination, can result in a smaller crop and less fruit per ache as branches are only able to develop half or 2\/3 full of grapes.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Typically, grape varieties including <a href=\"https:\/\/winefolly.com\/grapes\/chardonnay\/\">Chardonnay <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/winefolly.com\/grapes\/pinot-noir\/\">Pinot Noir<\/a> will flower first, followed by merlot and then cabernet sauvignon.
