Details
Not to be confused with cheese, Lemberger is used to produce low acid, varietal wines. It is gaining a reputation in the Finger Lakes region of NY as a variety with good wine potential and easier to grow than Pinot Noir. Lemberger (also known as Blaufränkisch) is a cold-hardy red grape suited to zones 5-9. It produces deep-colored wines with notes of black pepper and dark berries. Popular in cooler regions for its resilience and expressive flavor profile.

Training System
Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) Download Vertical Shoot Positioning PDF

Vertical shoot positioned (VSP) training is used primarily for upright-growing cultivators, especially those that benefit from improved exposure to sunlight that minimizes summer fruit rots and/or increases potential wine quality. As compared with Top Wire Cordon (TWC) training, VSP is much more labor-intensive due to the need for summer shoot positioning, leaf removal, and summer (top) hedging. VSP training employ a fruiting wire at 30-36", and usually three sets of catch wires at 10-12" intervals above the fruiting wire. Learn More
