This happened about a week ago. It´s not a disease, it´s just a result of sunscald. Two weeks ago weather was pretty cool and cloudy, and a week ago we suddenly had some very sunny and hot days. Systematically, on most vines the 3rd or 4th leaf immediately suffered sunscald, whereas the younger leaves and the older leaves didn´t. Probably because those 3rd or 4th leaves have grown most of their leaf surface "in the dark", thus being particularly sensitive. I´m happy that only parts of the leaves died and some parts of the sugar factory kept working...and now that´s what they look like after a couple of days.
