Yield

The amount of fruit any given vine or vineyard produces, and is usually expressed in hectolitres per hectare. Yields vary according to the type of vine - some are heavy croppers, some yield less - and also with climate and soil. Yields may be influenced by the winemaker, who may perform a green harvest on order to reduce them. Low yields are associated with increased quality.

Young

Simple wines signifies youthful freshness. In finer wines, young refers to immaturity.
