You can call on our Viticulture Consultancy team at any stage of vineyard development or establishment.
We strongly recommend an EMI survey, which provides a snapshot of soil variation across your site. It is an excellent tool that identifies variability throughout your vineyard enabling targeted management of different soil zones. The survey can be used to determine soil pit placement for soil profiling and sampling. We also strongly recommend the installation of climate monitors for all sites to determine the degree of frost risk.
A site investigation will enable us to recommend the most suitable rootstock(s), grape varieties and clones for your site.
Being able to provide potential investors, banks or other financial organisations with robust financial information adds considerable value to your business.
We are able to provide short and long-term forecasts of vineyard capital and operating expenditure budgets.
Equipped with data from the EMI maps, and using our preferred suppliers for viticulture services, our consultants will oversee establishment of your vineyard. Our follow-up service includes regular inspections at your request. This will ensure you receive the most appropriate post-planting services for your site.
To ensure you get the best returns from your soil and vines, we provide ongoing technical and practical vineyard management advice, as well as advice on sustainable growing methods and soil biology.
Utilising the skills and knowledge of our Diagnostic Consultancy team, we can quickly identify and diagnose vines in poor health and advise on remedial action, providing you with a Total Vineyard Solution.
