Popis: In Brazil winemaking is expanding not only in the renewal of vineyards in traditional production areas, but also in the introduction of new crops in the newer winemaking regions. Promising cha- racteristics were observed in the quality of the grapes and wines produced in altitude regions of Santa Catarina. The aim of this study is to characterize the geographic and climatic conditions which affect the phenology and vegetative growth of grapevine in Sao Joaquim, in the mountains region of Santa Catarina. The vineyards are located in areas with undulated and strongly undu- lated relief, predominantly in soils originating from basaltic rocks, in climate conditions classified as Cfb according to the Koppen, as Region I according to Winkler classification. The phenological stage of the grapevines in the Sao Joaquim region begins later and lasts longer in comparison to other winegrowing regions in Brazil. Decrease in photoperiod and low temperatures (
