Viticulture
Beginner Winemaking & ViticultureDefinition
The science and practice of growing grapes.
In Depth
Viticulture covers everything from vine planting to harvest: site selection, rootstock choice, trellising, canopy management, irrigation, pest control, and harvest timing. Good wine begins in the vineyard — no amount of winemaking skill can compensate for poor-quality grapes. Viticultural practices vary enormously with climate, soil, variety, and philosophy.
