Winter Pruning

March 20, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

 

We are very proud to look after our vines by hard and care for each of them individually. Throughout the year each vine has various things which need to be done to it. After the success of previous years we are now opening volunteer days for all the different aspects of vinegrowing.

Winter pruning – one of the most important and hardest jobs of the year. Each season a vine can grow up to 7m, although they are trimmed and tamed in the summer the real work is in the winter. We grow to the Guyot system meaning we prune back to 2 canes in the winter. The remainder canes then need to be pulled out of the wiring system and left in the rows. This is the most physically demanding job of the year also the coldest as it must be done before bud burst in the spring.

You will need a a decent pair of secateurs, gloves and some kind of eye protection and of course be dressed for the weather. We will be doing a BBQ for lunch. Everything can be provided
