OENOVIEW®

Precision vine growing with satellite imagery

What if you could save time and be more precise in optimising your vineyard selection process?

What if you could reduce variations within fields and increase overall quality?

Jointly developed and operated by ICV (Institut Coopératif du Vin) and Infoterra, and in collaboration with the INRA institute (Institut National de Recherche Agronomique), Oenoview is an innovative service designed to answer these needs, assist cooperatives and vineyards with grape selection and boost vineyards’ profitability.

Based on aerial and satellite imagery analysis that gives a spatial view and helps in characterizing in-field variations, Oenoview precisely maps vineyard vigour and provides indications of bunch and grape weight, soil water-retention and grape composition at different points within a field.

Œnoview - the most reliable and accurate tool for:

  • growers who are looking to make their vineyards more profitable: by providing detailed maps for each field, growers can adjust pruning and fertilizer inputs as well as organize maturity checking and harvesting to obtain the required grape quality. It also helps to make irrigation more efficient, thereby reducing annual water costs.
  • wine making organisations obtaining grapes from a large number of fields: precise characterization of the estimated vine vigour and in-field variability for each field over large regions enables winemakers to better manage grape harvesting, that is to harvest the best grapes at the same time and put them in the same vat to improve wine quality.

Maps and recommendations are delivered on data storage media. Spatial data (raw imagery, processed imagery, and maps) can be supplied in GIS-ready format.

Oenoview is based on an image processing methodology already successfully deployed by Infoterra with applied agronomic research institute Arvalis for Farmstar, the leading crop management service in France .

Oenoview has already received the label of recognition from Q@LIMEDiterranée, a competitiveness cluster in the Languedoc-Roussillon region focusing on sustainable agro-food systems and quality of life in the Mediterranean .

About ICV

ICV is a cooperative structure providing technical, organizational and strategic support for all stakeholders in the wine and grape growing sector. Its core competencies cover three areas: wine expertise through a team of 60 consultants; wine and grape analysis in its ten certified laboratories; and selection and distribution of products adapted to Mediterranean wines. To remain at the cutting edge, ICV is engaged in research, development and innovation, and is continuously tracking new technologies. “Œnoview reflects the logic underlying everything we do,” says Jacques Rousseau, head of ICV’s Vines & Wines Department. “We are well aware of the realities facing cooperatives in the region. Indeed, many of them are merging. Organizing harvests is made difficult by having to bring in and transport grapes with the same maturity from across different fields, and to mobilize personnel. These new challenges call for new production support tools.” With Œnoview, ICV is loo king to the future.
