| Just walked out to look at our Tempranillo and Cabernet. They are one year old as well. The node spacing seems the same, but our leaves were lush and both varietals took off like crazy. I even started a green soft wood cutting from the Cabernet (because it was going way past my designated boundaries for it), and it's growing well also. Our temps are around 110 degrees to 115 degrees days, and 85 to 95 nights. Ours are on a drip system, and they get a lot of water in the hot summer. We will not allow any clusters to form for at least 2 more years. They will all be pruned lower than the cordon wire after the rains stop for the winter. All the vineyard experts hang out here: |
