The first half of July was hot and wet, so the grapes have grown well.
We raise the wires for a second time : the vines have grown since May and we must raise the iron wires so that the vines grow high. The wires are tied with wooden staples. The ranks are aired and growing high before being cut on the up side. That work will be done mechanically once tying is completed.
The low vines that grow without tying, are directly sheared by hand (see attached picture).
