We're finished with the pruning!

After nearly thirteen weeks, we're now done with the pruning—one of the main tasks of the vineyard-year.

At the same time, we've begun to remove the superfluous wood from the training-wires.

We leave about 5% of the year-old growth—that's 8-13 buds per vine. From each will grow a cane, which bears the leaves

and the grape clusters for this year's wine.

Here in the photo: the vineyard Steinmühle, grape variety Sauvignon Blanc, vines being cut down to stubs.
