pruning: sugar not soccer you idiot!

Just for a minute forget about the winemaker swanning around the winery, sipping on nice wines, or collecting medals for the wines ‘they’ made.  Also, forget about the viticulturist perched up in  the air conditioned office, or driving around the block in the nice warm ute.

It all starts in the vineyard and for the bulk of the bigger wineries in New Zealand and especially MARLBOROUGH, these are the real medal winners.  It’s hard graft out there, and without them, well, we’d be in trouble!!
