How much water are your vines using right now?

grapestone turns satellite imagery into a simple, plot-level estimate of how much water your vineyard is losing to sun and wind each day — so you can act on it, whatever your setup looks like.

What this number actually is

Every day, sun, wind, and dry air pull water out of the soil and out of the vine's leaves. That combined loss is called evapotranspiration — it is, in effect, what your vineyard spent in water that day.

Knowing that number precisely, plot by plot, tells you what has already been spent — which is the starting point for almost every decision you make about water, whether or not you have a tap to turn.

What you do with that number, though, depends a lot on how your vineyard is run. That's why we built a separate page for each region instead of one generic pitch.

Built around how you actually farm

Irrigation habits, climate, and what's actually at stake differ sharply across Portugal's wine regions. See what this means where you are.

Coimbra area

Bairrada & Dão

Widely irrigated by drip. Get a clear, weekly number for how much and when to water.

Alentejo

Alentejo

Hot, dry, and water is often scarce or rationed. Make every drop count.

Pinhel

Beira Interior

Mostly no irrigation. Know what stress is coming before it shows up in the grapes.

No meteorology degree required

Three simple steps between a satellite pass and a number you can use.

1

We watch your area from space

Satellite imagery covers your vineyard automatically, day after day, with no sensors to install or maintain.

2

We turn that into a water-use number

The imagery is translated into a straightforward evapotranspiration estimate for your specific plot.

3

You get an update you can act on

Delivered in plain terms — how much water your vines used, and what that means for your next decision.
