Increase Vineyard Brix and Harvest Earlier with MultiFIX

When it comes to growing premium wine grapes, increasing vineyard Brix isn’t just a number—it’s a critical factor in determining quality, harvest timing, and winery demand. Fresno County grower Ken G. discovered firsthand how MultiFIX can give vineyards an edge, increasing sugar content by 2 Brix and making harvest timing more flexible.

MultiFIX and the path to increase vineyard Brix

For growers looking to increase their vineyard Brix, MultiFIX provides a reliable solution.

“So, they’re easy to go 22 sugar. 23 is easy. But if you use MultiFIX, you can get it up to 24 Brix, and they [the wineries] love it at 24,” says Ken. That extra bump in sugar translates directly into higher-quality fruit, commanding more interest from wineries looking for premium grapes.

More importantly, that increase happens faster. Growers using MultiFIX report being able to harvest up to two weeks earlier than usual, which can be a game-changer in regions where heat spikes or weather shifts create unpredictable end-of-season conditions.

Why earlier harvest matters

An earlier harvest gives growers more control over their crop and reduces risks associated with leaving fruit on the vine too long. When grapes reach ideal sugar levels faster, growers can:

✅  Avoid overripening or dehydration in hotter climates.

✅  Reduce labor bottlenecks by spreading out harvest timing.

✅  Lock in contracts sooner with wineries eager for high-Brix fruit.

✅  Improve fruit condition by picking at the optimal moment instead of racing against weather shifts.

How MultiFIX delivers results

MultiFIX feeds and amplifies the native microbial populations in the soil and plant microbiome, enhancing nutrient uptake and optimizing vine health. Healthier vines translate into more efficient photosynthesis, greater sugar production, and stronger fruit development.

By integrating MultiFIX into your vineyard program, you’re not just pushing Brix higher—you’re accelerating maturity, strengthening vines, and delivering fruit that stands out to wineries.
