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

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.
You can also search for it via the link below (hopefully the link works!)

Note from asker:
| Thanks James and Tony M. That sounds right. I also found 'wilted' in your 2nd reference James. |

Discussion
I'd go a little further, as 'griller' is clearly related to 'burning' — of course you can't actually use 'sunburn' here, but I think that's the direction to go... maybe 'to avoid... getting burnt up by the sun' etc.
