It’s been a year since we posted our last blog. Just because you haven’t heard from us, it doesn’t mean we weren’t busy. In fact, we were so busy, you haven’t heard from us! A short run-down then of the last year...
We added a second irrigation line recently in order to better see to the needs of individual Pinot Noir plants. The compact size of Gantz Family Vineyards – we have 4.5 planted acres – allows us to manage the property on a micro-level and pay this kind of attention.
Gantz Family Vineyards is proud to announce our new relationship with vineyard manager Jim Pratt and his company, Cornerstone Certified Vineyard. Jim has 30 years of experience overseeing vines here in the Russian River Valley and specializes in managing small vineyards like ours.
On a beautiful morning last Thursday, Feb. 26, nine vineyard workers arrived at Gantz Family Vineyards to prune last year’s canes and get this year’s canes ready for the 2015 growing season.
