Argentina wine technology

On the three computer screens are the schemes of a finca (farm). On the one on the right, green, red and yellow spots represent the vigour index of the plants.

And if the data itself is curious, even more so is that this is a new Atlantic winery and it is redefining the map of Argentine terroirs.
