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
