Leaf pulling and cluster thinning are practices we do here at Sculpterra Winery each year that have been proven to greatly increase the quality of our grapes and the resulting wine. It's a time of year that I look forward too. It's fun to expose the cluster and see what we have! It's like opening up a Christmas gift, revealing the grapes hidden by the leaves.
In addition to leaf pulling, we also cluster thin (dropping fruit) on the varietals that produce big crops with big clusters such as Petite Sirah, Grenache and Mourvedre. Cluster thinning is done by removing the "wing" or "shoulder" of the clusters using clippers. This practice removes around a quarter to a third of the cluster's weight. We also remove the secondary and tertiary underdeveloped clusters, allowing the vine to focus all its energy on developing the primary cluster. Our other varietals, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier, Primitivo, and Merlot produce balanced yields and do not need cluster thinning.
