It is on them that berries are obtained, suitable for the production of strong, rich rosé and red wines. Due to its low water demand, it is considered the most environmentally friendly variety.

Landing

For growing grapes Grenache Noir choose the southern or western part of the site, well lit by the sun most of the day. The second half of April is selected for planting. Previously, the site for the vineyard is dug up, very dense clay can be diluted with sand. Pits for bushes are prepared with a size of 80 × 80 cm with mandatory drainage of the base, about 1.5 m are left between the neighboring ones.

For planting, plants with a green cut on top and white roots are considered the best choice. When buying a shoot in a container, it is transferred to the soil with a lump of earth. With an open root system, it is better to pre-soak in growth stimulants. Finished seedlings are placed in holes, sprinkled with earth, compacted and watered.
