Description
The founder of America's most award winning vineyard presents a fresh new science for grape growing in harmony with natural forces. Pioneering viticulture in Monterey, California, Meador called upon other sciences such as quantum physics to elucidate new hypotheses of "Hormonal Control Systems" and "plant sap circulation.? Through 35 years of close observation of European and California vineyards, the author recommends sound practices for vineyard design, spacing and orientation along with irrigation, pruning and trellising to achieve optimum results for the terroir and grape variety.
