Vine replanting
Hi to all,
Thanks. I got a vinegrower to look at the field, he told me that the
land loves vines.
We just pruned the existing vines and we got a year's growth averaging
12 feet from
almost all the vineplants. No irrigation. Soil mostly clay and some
limestone.
The current vines planted in the land is a local varietal grafted on
american rootstock.
Girgentina its called, thought to be imported by the knights from
France. (i.e. 450yrs ago)
I intend to plant syrah or cabernet sauv. also grafted on american
stock.
