dc.description.abstractReliable early season vineyard yield estimation is increasingly important for planning, quota interpretation and regulatory decision support in wine regions exposed to strong interannual variability. However, the practical value of a predictive model depends not only on its error metrics, but also on the realism of the validation design used to assess its performance. This study evaluates an open data Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network pipeline for parish level wine grape yield estimation in the Douro Demarcated Region (DDR), comparing Leave-One-Year-Out (LOYO) validation with Walk-Forward (WF) back-testing. The modelling workflow combines Sentinel-derived Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series with open-access gridded climate variables from AgERA5 and CHIRPS. Estimates are assessed across two early seasonal windows, flowering and veraison, and across multiple territorial levels, from parishes to sub-regions and the whole DDR. LOYO is used as a benchmark-oriented validation strategy that enables comparison across years, while WF imposes a stricter chronological structure in which each target year is estimated using only information available from previous campaigns. The comparison shows how validation design can change the interpretation of model readiness. LOYO supports methodological benchmarking and model comparison, whereas WF provides a more operationally realistic assessment of temporal generalisation. By making this distinction explicit, the study strengthens the methodological credibility of AI-based vineyard yield estimation and contributes to more transparent decision support for precision viticulture and regional wine governance.en
