Grow Tubes - Sustainable new vine protection

As great as old vines are and the grapes and wines they produce, they all begin as young vines. Listen in as Quails' Gate Senior Viticulturist Ed Tonner gives us some details on grow tubes in his latest syrah plantings, used to protect the tender young shoots and accelerate growth. Quails' Gate Winery is located in West Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. It's not unusal for the temperature to reach 45 celsius (113 farenheit) in the Okanagan during the summer and -20 celcius (-4 farenheit) in the winter, extremes that can be very tough on new vines. Quails' Gate has just received their BC Sustainable Winegrowing certification in 2022 for their vineyards.
