Smartfeed vineyard
The nutritional cycle of the vineyard is understood by looking at it 3 years from now: the first year directly conditions the vegetation, production and the second, and the latter the production of the third.
The needs of the soil and the plant vary with the production objective, the vine works differently if we ask for a syrah of 8 tn/ha for a light fresh fruit profile than if we ask for 5 tn/ha for a profile ripe fruit concentrate.
3 simple analytics will help you better understand your vineyard and effectively and sustainably plan its nutrition:
- Soil analysis (every 5 years): to know the availability of nutrients and how they move in the soil.
- Vine shoot analysis: assesses the reserves available for the vegetative uprooting of the following year.
- Petiole analysis in H state: a snapshot to successfully tackle flowering and fruit set.
With this data and the production objective we help you plan the nutrition of the vineyard:
- Work the soil with solids in autumn winter, to achieve a stable long-term balance.
- Foliar contributions with liquids in spring, as support, adaptive corrections to the weather or grape profiles.

Organic amendments: humus effect
What are they? Composted fermentable plant organic materials, effective humus.
What are they for? To stimulate the microbiological activity of the soil, regenerate the clay-humic complex, improve texture and water retention, gradually release nutrients and reinforce the natural defenses of the vine.
When are they applied? From the end of autumn to the middle of winter.

Organic fertilizers
What are they? Organic vegetable and animal matter on a vegetable compost base.
What for? To increase the soil’s humus content and stimulate its microbial activity. It increases the reserves of minerals and trace elements, and feeds the vine gradually and sustainably, without risk of loss due to washing. It reinforces the natural defenses of the vine and improves its production and the ability to mature.
When? During winter.
Organomineral fertilizers
What are they? Organic vegetable and animal matter with a mineral supplement, formulated on a vegetable compost base.
What for? To stimulate microbial activity. To increase mineral and trace element reserves, feeding the vine in a complete, balanced and gradual way.
When? In the middle of the autumn or from the end of winter to the start of spring.
Liquid nutritional formulations
What are they? Liquid fertilizers for foliar or drip application, fast and specific action depending on its composition.
What for? To correct deficiencies immediately, to adapt to the weather of the year, to support specific wine profiles or to support a general revitalization of the vineyard.
When? From state E (extended leaves) to harvest depending on the objective.

To sustain and feed the vines, the soil acts as a recycling factory in which it is necessary to maintain an operational balance for it to function.
