Reply To: Ungheria: inizio invaiatura su Kèkfrankos nella zona di Eger

[Luca]

In Hungary in the Eger area, the veraison of Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch in Austria) has begun. The differences between the clones is interesting.

The typical training system is Spurred Cordon with four vegetative points. We started pruning with the Simonit&Sirch method two years ago. We can already see the difference to date compared to 2018 in terms of homogeneity.

Veraison began in the first few days of August but not all Kékfrankos clones are the same. As seen in the photos, the 379 clone has already started to change colour, while the berries of the KT-1 (third photo) are still green.

Observing and controlling the differences among in terms of phenolic ripeness is very important and if necessary the harvest will be done at different intervals.
