And now it's time for pruning!

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.
