GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

French to English translations [PRO]
Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
French term or phrase: grillures
This is about the effect of the weather on the vines.

'... que nous laissions un peu plus de feuillage pour éviter les grillures du soleil.'

I have found this as a definition in French: 'dessèchement des feuilles de la vigne du au soleil, à la sécheresse, au vent ou à des parasites comme la cicatelle' and have tentatively put 'to prevent drying damage from the sun'

Any comments would be welcome

scorching
Explanation:
I don't know why I didn't post this as an "answer" in the first place, as it can't be entered into the glossary from a "reference", so here you go.

Copied/pasted from my original reference:

I've never come across the term before, but according to this source, it means "scorching": https://fr.techdico.com/traduction/francais-anglais/grillure...
And it's listed under "AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHERIES", which is promising.
