Our vineyards are all planted on rows running mainly N-S to allow as much as possible “all day” sun penetration to the fruit. Our rows are 2.8 m apart and vines are 750mm apart The cordon wire is approx. 800mm from ground level. We spur prune the Barbera and Dolcetto and we cane prune our whites. We utilise vertical shoot positioning by having 2 sets of foliage wires which are positioned at critical points in fruit and vine canopy management. We allow the native grasses to grow in the mid row to provide the best environment for beneficial bugs and minimise the need to use chemicals.
