Botrytis Cinerea
Latin name for the complex fungal disease that is alternately beneficial and disastrous in the vineyard. When it attacks healthy, fully ripe grapes, the disease is known as noble rot and can contribute to the production of some of the world's finest sweet wines. When it attacks unripe berries it is know as gray rot and can severely affect yield and quality.
