Word of the winegrowers of Domaine d’Aubian
Irrigation is better and better managed, with earlier decision-making in the year made possible in particular by Vintel.
Vintel is part of the decision triangle completed by weather and wine-growing practices. Irrigation is part of a complex management of the vine, it is a base to be mastered to ensure its production. It allows the plot’s potential to be expressed and to secure yields.
Starting the irrigation earlier gives me a head start and comfort for the rest of the season.
Vintel makes it possible to ensure that the useful reserve is filled before the onset of the first stresses.
