Usual pruning methods results in the formation of “desiccation cones” in the vine wood.

Results:

1)Interruption of the vascular flow

2)Shorter vine life

3)Increased disease

Simonit & Sirch method respects the vascular system through positioning of cuts

Results:

1)Increased vascular flow = enhanced reflection of terroir in the grapes

2)Longer vine life = old vines critical for balance and concentration. Consistent vineyard plantings

3)Increased permanent wood = grapes with better balance
