Let us help guide your vineyard's performance
After a challenging harvest in 2024, now is the time to prepare for a productive year ahead.
Through an assessment of your systems and processes, Vinescapes can work with you to identify ways to save your team time and resources and prepare an impressive crop for harvest.
Vinescapes now has two packages available designed to find the most effective ways for your vineyard to produce healthy vines and quality fruit ahead of vintage in 2025.
The first package, led by experienced viticulturist Joel Jorgensen, will provide you with an opportunity to review your vineyard operations and map ways to improve yield, flavour development and taste profiles ready for harvest.
The Vineyard Productivity & Efficiency Package includes a site visit, meeting and survey with staff and stakeholders to collect data and understand the businesses core objectives before delivering a report outlining key recommendations and a roadmap to achieve these desired outcomes.
Joel said this package essentially delivers a health-check to vineyard owners and managers on the current performance of their vineyard, and provides a list of options for the team to adopt or work towards over the growing season and ongoing.
“We would expect our assessment to give vineyard teams a guideline to follow over the short and long term, to sequentially build in efficiencies and deliver progressively better fruit year-on-year.”
In addition to making your vineyard more productive, Vinescapes can also assist you with your sustainability goals with our Regenerative Viticulture Assessment Package.
This package can be a great way to start you on your sustainability journey, improve practices or evaluate your eligibility for certification.
Led by Cameron Roucher, who has expertise in establishing and managing regenerative vineyards in England and Australia, this is a low-investment option to help assess what you can do to improve your vineyard’s resilience and performance in a changing climate.
“Climate change is impacting on regular growing patterns or any consistency across the season.
“Regenerative viticulture and other sustainable growing options, such as organic or biodynamic farming techniques can prepare both the soil and the site for extreme weather events, potentially provide vines and fruit bunches with protection from disease and set in train an ecological system of vineyard management, which can deliver efficiencies over the long term by not having to rely on chemical interventions,” said Cameron.
This assessment program will rely on a process of data collection, meetings with key team members and an evaluation of vine and soil health across relevant sites to provide a report and recommendations for how to best achieve sustainable outcomes.
