Instead of uprooting the vine and planting a new one, we can perform precision surgery and extirpate the “tumour”, or the contaminated part of the plant, in order to heal it.
This allows the vine to grow and proliferate through the healthy section. It will continue to live and produce marvellous grapes for many years to come. This is an example of how, at Sonsierra, we nurture and care for our vineyards, preserving the natural heritage handed down by our ancestors and striving to safeguard our most precious asset: the old-growth vines from whose grapes we make our finest wines.
