Our Pellanc Pre-pruner helps us decrease pest pressure by eliminating infected wood in the late fall and early winter. When we return in late winter to make our final pruning cuts, fungal spores, that infect pruning wounds and eventually kill the vine, are much lower. Pruning wounds also heal faster in the late winter which will help decrease the possibility of infection.
Our Pellanc Machine Leafer will help us remove leaves more efficiently. We can open up the fruit zone in every vineyard just after fruit set to expose them to morning sun and help our sprays penetrate the canopy better. This will help increase the quality of the fruit in the vineyard and in the winery.
Our Pellanc Tractor has the ability to spray 3 rows at a time during the growing season, and can also harvest and sort grapes. The Selective Processer 2 destems the berries from the cluster, removes almost all of the MOG and ensures delivery of clean grapes to the winery. In one night, the machine harvester is able to pick the same amount of grapes as 30 skilled vineyard workers.
