The control of leaf to fruit ratio by the practice of entire clusters removal from the vine upon berry set has been used in traditional vineyards in order to regulate yield and to improve chemical composition of the berries. Although this practice has been settled in temperate zones, little is known about grapevines behavior in tropical growing areas. The aim of this work was to evaluate the biochemical and agronomical responses of two Vitis vinifera cultivars (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) grown in Caldas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, a new winegrape region. Grapevines were submitted to cluster thinning (0%, 50% and 75% of cluster removal) and trimming treatments (trimmed and untrimmed) imposed at pea size stage. The source-sink alteration by fruit removal and shoot trimming had impact on yield, leaf sugar metabolism and grape composition. Although there was an improvement in color intensity of the berries with reduction of fruit load, the cluster thinning practice should be avoided in vineyards grown in the south of Minas Gerais State without impairment of wine grape quality. On the other hand, shoot trimming practice should be recommended only for Merlot in order to improve sugar grapes from vines with no cluster removal. O controle da razão folhas:frutos pela prática da remoção de cachos inteiros após o estabelecimento das bagas tem sido utilizado nos vinhedos tradicionais, a fim de regular a produção e melhorar as características químicas das bagas. Embora essa prática esteja bem estabelecida em regiões temperadas, pouco se sabe a respeito do comportamento das videiras cultivadas em áreas tropicais. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as respostas agronômicas e bioquímicas de duas cultivares de Vitis vinifera (Merlot e Cabernet Sauvignon) cultivadas em Caldas, Minas Gerais, Brasil, nova região produtora de uvas finas. As videiras foram submetidas a tratamentos de desbaste de cachos (0%, 50% e 75% de cachos retirados) e desponte (com e sem desponte) realizados no estágio de ervilha. A alteração da fonte-dreno pela remoção dos frutos e desponte afetou a produção, o metabolismo de açúcares nas folhas e a composição das bagas. Embora tenha sido observado um aumento na intensidade de cor das bagas com a redução da carga de frutos, a prática do desbaste de cachos pode ser evitada nos vinhedos do sul de Minas Gerais, sem prejuízo à qualidade das uvas viníferas, enquanto a prática do desponte deve ser recomendada somente para Merlot, a fim de melhorar a concentração de açúcares nas uvas de videiras sem desbaste de cachos
