If you're an experienced grape grower, you likely already have a good grasp of your pest and disease management program, your general fertilization strategy, and your vineyard management and labor. As your vines grow and age, there's another set of challenges that you may have to face as an experienced grower. On today's episode of Vineyard Underground, we turn our focus on the three common challenges experienced growers may encounter. As your vineyards age, hopefully, they grow like fine wine. If you're a seasoned grower, this episode is made for you. And if you're a beginner grower, you can get ahead of the game by listening to this episode and learning what to expect as your vineyard matures. But make sure you've also listened to the previous episode on the top three common challenges for new growers and how to navigate those.
