Project reviews the best strategies of vintage 2011: Top growing advice put on paper

摘要

IN LIGHT OF the challenges brought on by wet weather in 2011, viticulture consultant Richard Hilder assessed a number of vineyards across two states for best practice. As part of a Grassroots Solutions Project, funded by the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation, Hilder examined eight vineyards in the Hunter Valley and four vineyards in Canberra/Murrumbateman region. Hilder, in conjunction with the NSW Wine Industry Association, has just documented the findings in a paper, titled Best Practice Reviews: experiences of successful growers in the 2011 season, which he hopes will place growers in better stead for challenges in future seasons.
