Viognier – The Plan

Here’s what we do each year for the next 3 years- plus the grow tubes of course in year 1, and - there will be 2 shoots going for the cordon wire. The loser dies.Brutal stuff!
I haven’t drawn in the trellis wires and to get an idea of scale- the cordon wire is at 1 metre and the 3 double trellis wire are at 300mm centres above the cordon. For those of you thinking in imperial (Christian units - as one of my mentors used to say): Cordon at roughly a yard and the other wires at 1 foot centres.

I didn’t know any of this 2 weeks ago. I’d read a couple of books over the last 18 months, but nothing really sinks in until you see the real thing and someone like Jake enthuses. We are at 50% of year 1 –if that makes sense?
