And now it’s time for pruning!

06 Jul 2014 – General

Here we will shorten this summer’s shoots to a length that should keep them from snapping off directly above the last pair of wires.

With this, the leaf-canopy can grow up to 50 centimetres beyond the top of the trellis, and reach a totally canopy-height of 160 cm. This will ensure optimum ripening of the Blaufränkisch clusters — the basis for producing wines with a powerful and ripe framework of tannins, which promises great aging potential as well as elegance.
