Rootstock Grafting
Rootstock vineyard grafting is a viticultural technique where a scion (fruiting grape variety) is joined to a separate rootstock that is resistant to soil pests like phylloxera or better adapted to local soil and climate conditions. This process ensures vine health, improves vineyard longevity, and allows growers to match the vigor and nutrient uptake of the root system to the desired grape variety, ultimately enhancing fruit quality and sustainability.
Top Work Grafting
Top work grafting is the process of joining a desired grapevine variety (scion) to an established vine. This method allows growers to switch varieties without replanting, saving time and preserving the mature root system. It’s a cost-effective way to adapt to market demand, climate shifts, or quality improvements while maintaining vineyard infrastructure.
Operations Optimization
Vineyard grafting optimizes operations by allowing growers to quickly adapt to market trends, improve vineyard uniformity, and extend the life of existing root systems. Instead of replanting, which is costly and time-consuming, grafting enables a faster transition to more profitable or better-suited grape varieties. It also enhances disease resistance, maximizes use of established irrigation and trellis systems, and reduces vineyard downtime, ultimately improving efficiency and return on investment.
