- Red Blotch Virus Learning Resources- “If you have vinifera vines that were planted in the past five years that have displayed reddening of leaves, particularly late in the season, they may be infected by the Red Blotch virus. The symptoms are similar to leafroll and growers should study fact sheets to tell the two apart. Red Blotch can severely affect a vine’s ability to ripen its fruit.”
