• Quality of vineyards depend on many aspects that are determining the terroir, such as declination of the terrain, orientation to the cardinal points, time of exposure to the sun, altitude and many more

• In these analysis we were researching obscuration and angle of rays under which they fall on the terrain

• Our analyses were made from observation of these days: 1) Spring equinox, 20th of March 2012 2) Summer solstice, 21st of June 2012 3) Autumn equinox, 23rd of September 2012

• In each day we were considering three main day times, namely 2 hours after the sunrise, the midday and 2 hours before the sunset

• 2 hours after the sunrise

Equinox 20th of March, 23rd of September
