The Vines Winter 'spring clean'

Arriving hand-in-hand with the colder weather is the winter spring clean of the vines.

From now until February there is much to do in the vines and vineyards in preparation for next spring.

To ensure each vine reaches her full fruiting potentional her stems are cut leaving one long stem and a smaller back up should a late frost next year bite hard.

Dead vines are uprooted, to be replaced at a later date and the high wires which once supported the vines fruits are removed.

The vines new look is a dramatic one !
