The process of growing a shoot or bud of a European Vitis vinifera grape on American or hybrid, resistant rootstock.
Riesling vines are particularly hard-wooded and tolerant of cold weather and they bud late, so are well-suited to the coldest wine-growing climes. Riesling is both moderately vigorous and productive, yielding from three to six tons per acre.
With temperature warming in April, bud-break may begin the vegetation growth cycle. Frost danger is now at its height. Smudge-pots, wind-machines and frost-protection sprinklers must be repaired and readied.
Graft: A vineyard technique in which the bud-producing part of a grapevine is attached to an existing root.
Gran Reserva: A Spanish term used for wines that are aged in wood and bottles for at least five years prior to release.
