In Bodegas Alejandro<\/strong>, Every decision in the vineyard has a clear purpose: to achieve the best possible quality in our grapes. One of the most important tasks we perform is the green pruning<\/strong>, a fundamental technique to balance the plant and achieve optimal ripening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does green pruning consist of?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While winter pruning defines the structure of the vine, summer pruning is carried out in spring or early summer, when the vine is in full growth. It consists of removing unnecessary shoots, excess leaves, and poorly positioned clusters<\/strong>, allowing the plant to concentrate its energy on producing higher quality grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of green pruning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We apply this practice because it has a direct impact on the quality of our grapes and, therefore, on the character of our wines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • It regulates production<\/strong>We remove bunches that the vine cannot ripen properly, favoring a balanced harvest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Improves ventilation and lighting<\/strong>By reducing the density of the vegetation, the sun reaches the bunches better and natural ventilation prevents fungal diseases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Promotes even ripening<\/strong>With less competition for nutrients, the grapes achieve an optimal balance of sugar and acidity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Enhances aromatic concentration<\/strong>Less quantity of grapes, but of higher quality, means more expressive wines with better structure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    A manual job that makes a difference<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Green pruning is a job manual and meticulous<\/strong>, where experience and knowledge of the vineyard are key. There are no fixed formulas: Each grape variety is different and each year requires adjustments depending on the climate and the vigor of the vine.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In Bodegas Alejandro<\/strong>, We believe that this dedication in the vineyard is what allows us to produce wines with identity, where each bottle reflects the effort and passion for our land.<\/p>\n
