Grafting
The process of growing a cutting of Vitis vinifera on American or hybrid, phylloxera-resistant rootstock.

Graft: To splice a varietal vine to the rootstock of another type, usually one resistant to particular pests or diseases.

grafting - broadly, inserting a section of one plant into another so that they unite and grow as one plant. In a viticultural context, usually grafting a European fruiting vine on to a rootstock, often chosen for its resistance to phylloxera .

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.

grafting: The vegetative joining of the shoot of a European grape variety (Vitis vinifera) onto the rootstock of an American species of vine (e.g. Vitis berlandieri, V. champini, V. rupestris).

A couple of hundred years ago, if you wanted to plant more vines things were pretty simple. You just took a cutting, stuck it in the ground, and you'd have a new vine.

What is grafting? Grafting is where you take part of one plant, and attach it to part of another plant. In this case the roots of an American vine are attached to the top half of a European vine. The resulting vine is half-American, half-European.

BudwoodThe varietal grape that is grafted onto the rootstock. This is the part of the vine that produces the fruit.

Grafting joining together two different plants so they grow together as one. Grafting onto resistant rootstock has been key in fighting phylloxera and other vine diseases.

Grafting The process of physically connecting two plants or pieces of plant tissue together to grow as one. In viticulture, grafting is often used to join a rootstock with a vine variety.

These vineyards were saved by grafting European (Vitis vinifera) vines onto Phylloxera-resistant American (Vitis labrusca) rootstocks. Irony abounds because the infestation came from vines imported from the United States.

Recommended for grafting to the 3309 rootstock in New York state where it has shown good winter hardiness. Ohio researchers are currently (1999) testing the 1616 and 18-815 rootstocks.

Finally Thomas Munson, a horticulturist from Dennison, Texas, realized that native American vines were resistant and suggested grafting the vinifera vines onto riparia hybrid rootsocks.

Hybridization is not to be confused with the practice of grafting. Most of the world's vineyards are planted with European V. vinifera vines that have been grafted onto North American species rootstock.

These slips are usually grafted onto rootstock that has been specially cultivated to combine growth vigor with resistance to disease. They are then put into sand for one season. This is called bench-grafting.

Recommended for grafting to the 3309 root in New York state where it has shown good winter hardiness.

In this context, it is singular the case which happened in the delta of Po river, near the present territory of Bosco Eliceo DOC, where vineyards of Fortana grapes were not affected by this parasite and, still today, they are grafted in the original ...

Vines are crossbred and grafted, and you must know the history of the grapes you are growing to avoid diseases or other problems; you don't want your grapevine to be descended from specific vines recognized as having problems.

Most of the world's vineyards are planted with grafted vines like this today, everything above ground being Vitis vinifera, and everything below ground being American vine.

Grafted vinifera planted in locations where minimum temperatures occasionally fall below 0 deg. Fahrenheit can be expected to suffer some cold injury.

The ultimate solution to eradicate this Attila the Hun pest was to graft vines on to American rootstocks that resisted the phylloxera.

If a vine is in place, but no longer a desirable varietal, for whatever reason, just the top can be replaced, and the roots left intact by a grafting process known as T-Budding. The old vine is removed just above the soil line.

One single vine, if found to have especially desirable characteristics, may be propagated by grafting or budding to produce a whole vineyard that is identical to the original vine.

T budding - A technique that permits grafting of different grape varieties onto existing rootstocks in a vineyard.
T.B.A. - An abbreviation for the German wine Trockenbeerenauslese.

As a result, most new vineplants are grafted onto a phylloxera-resistant rootstock to ensure proper vine health and adequate bearing. Phylloxera remains a problem in most of the world's vinifera vineyards.

Since then, most European vines are grafted onto American rootstock. Ironically, the Californian industry was badly damaged by Phylloxera in the 1980's and 90's after planting on low-resistance rootstock.

Vitis Vinifera - The species of vine from which most wine is made. In most regions, however, the vinifera vine is grafted onto rootstock of vitis species native to America, such as vitis labrusca, because of their resistance to Phylloxera.

In the aftermath of the phylloxera epidemic, the Canaiolo vines did not take well to grafting onto new American rootstock and the grape began to steadily fall out of favor.
