New Vineyards
The initial on-site consultation and land inspection are instrumental when beginning a new vineyard development project. This opportunity is for you to discuss your vision, while reviewing the following pre-development procedures:
- Soil samples. These are taken at several different locations throughout the field to determine soil profiles which are then sent to the lab for detailed soil analysis. This analysis will help determine root stock, clone and varietal selections best suited for the site and wine styles required.
- Pre-planting, we will make recommendations on ground preparation, drainage requirements and soil additions for optimum nutrition.
- Trellis types - based on the soil sampling results, the trellis types, vine spacing, and row direction will then be determined. As the UK's specialist trellis installation company, we can supply and install to your requirements.
- We provide a bespoke vineyard design (CAD map, a service unique to Vine Works Ltd which ensures accuracy) and specification for vines and trellising materials. Comprehensive vineyard planning including block layout based on slope, aspect, and soil properties.
- Complete project management to ensure proper installation for a world-class vineyard.
- We have extensive contacts in the industry to identify the right machinery for your site and budget.
