The vineyards are small, to permit manual cultivation and a short grape harvest. The vines are pruned short in the winter, with another green pruning during the growing season. Grape thinning and limited leaf-stripping in the autumn provide more light for the grape clusters and excellent fruit ripening. 2, record 2, English, - grape%20thinning

La poda de invierno consiste, sobre todo, en la supresión parcial de la parte aérea de la planta, de tal forma que año tras año, el número de yemas dejadas asegure el potencial productivo de la misma y garantice, a lo largo del tiempo, el desarrollo de nuevos brotes que permitan la sustitución de los sarmientos en años sucesivos. 2, record 3, Spanish, - poda%20de%20invierno

Winter pruning of apples, pears, and some other fruits when grown as espaliers or as bush-type trees grafted onto dwarfing stocks, and of some ornamentals, notably wisterias, when trained in similar fashions, must be supplemented by systematic summer pruning. This consists of cutting off the tips of the current season's shoots just above the fifth or sixth leaf as soon as that leaf is about half grown and of shortening secondary shoots that develop just beyond the first leaf. 2, record 4, English, - summer%20pruning
