the management of grape vine is a seprate and complex course, as lots of factors could determine the quality and quantity of the grape havested. First of all, grape vines can not be planted anywhere, they only can be survive between temperature above zero degree centigree and aroud 34 during summer time. To attain good grape, the humidity, the soil, the sunshine and the way of management the yard are all very important. which needed to be kept in mind is that every factor will be great when the balance is achieved.

Grape vines do not grow from the seed which we can found in the grape fruit, but clones. Actually it make it easy to chose the right vine and grow. Rootstock is where the grape vine abstracted the nutrition through. Chosen the right rootstock which suit the vine variety best can promote the grape growth, and research have done in the rootstock and clones already make the different matches for the grower to use.

Then we need to pick up the location, as mentioned above, the temperature where we grow need to be high enough for the vine to survive. Look at the soil where you plan your vine yard, the grape vine prefers well drained soil most. Usually sands and small particle are good at draining water.  Sunshine is important for the formation of the suger, which is going to convert int alcohol during fermentation, in the grape fruit. Sunshine is definitely needed during grape growth, but too much direct sunlight will burn the grape. See! balance!  Therefore, we want the sun directly shines on the leaves and then reflects to grape. Prunning is done to get rid of the excessive leaves, but leave enough to protect grape from sunburnt.

Chose the right location, gave them good care and management, great grapes will be harvested to make awesome wines.

This blog has been occupied for a long time,

Once, I planed to put some thing in my deep heart here, matterless sad or dirty,
