Installing the trellising

The trellis system is crucial to training the vines to grow in order to achieve consistent ripening throughout the vineyard. Arranging the vine along the trellis enables us to maximise the vines' exposure to the sun, therefore maximising the amount of sugars in the grapes. The system we've installed has over 1,000 posts and in excess of 36km of wires to help us organise the vines.

It took about a week to get all the posts and wires in place, after which we just had to clip the vine stakes to the lowest wire to secure them. Following this, the establishment of the vineyard infrastructure is complete.
