🍃 Immersion: Leaf removal
In the height of summer, the grape clusters are forming and the vine is at its peak growth. For the grapes to ripen well, they must be freed from the shade of the surrounding leaves. Leaf removal means giving the sun and air direct access to the future wines — a gesture that can be felt in every glass at tasting.
What you will do
You will manually remove the leaves surrounding the grape clusters, working on both the morning and afternoon sides depending on sun exposure. The winegrower explains how to avoid over-exposing the grapes, finding the right balance between protective shade and the light needed for ripening.
