THE INFLUENCE OF GRAPEVINE PRUNING ON THE LEVEL CROP AND QUALITY IN CABERNET SAUVIGNON CLONES
Keywords:
red wine, pruning, clones.Abstract
Yield is one of the factors with major influence on the quality of grapevine production. Winter pruning is the first way to control yield. In this study we applied 3 cutting variants to 4 clones of Cabernet Sauvignon from Sâmburești vineyard, one of the most famous Romanian vineyards for quality red wines. The results of the study show that in order to obtain the typical Cabernet Sauvignon wines in the Sâmburești vineyard, winter pruning is recommended with a maximum of 9 nodes/m2 or a delay in harvesting until more advanced stages of maturity compared to what we applied in this study.
