Description
Winter is an important time of rejuvenation in wine country. All winter long, the vineyards sleep, recharging for the intense growing season that is soon to come.
Pruning is important for maintaining the structural integrity, consistency, and predictability of the vineyard. If we know the acreage of the vineyard, along with the row and vine spacing, and each arm grows two shoots, and each shoot grows two clusters of fruit, we can fairly accurately estimate the yield of the year’s crop. Not only does pruning help us to predict our crop yields, but it also keeps the vineyard organized. And it looks nice, too.
