Alvarinho grapes are a white grape variety that is native to Portugal and Spain. They are renowned for their high sugar levels, intense aromas and flavors, and their creamy aftertaste. Alvarinho grapes are grown in Portugal’s Vinho Verde region and are used to make a variety of white wines, including sparkling and still wines. Alvarinho grapes are also used as a base for fortified wines, such as Port.
When planting Alvarinho grapes, it is important to choose a site with adequate space and sun exposure, as well as good drainage. The soil should be moderately fertile and slightly acidic with a pH of 6.0 to 6.5. Alvarinho vines can be grown in either trellised or un-trellised systems and should be planted at a spacing of 1 metre (3.3 feet) between each vine.
When planting Alvarinho vines, it is important to prune them correctly. Pruning should be done in the winter when the vines are dormant and should be focused on removing dead or diseased wood and thinning out congested branches. Pruning should be done with a sharp pair of secateurs and the prunings should be disposed of carefully to prevent the spread of disease.
Once planted, Alvarinho vines require regular care and maintenance. They should be watered regularly, particularly during dry periods. Regular fertilization is also important for optimum growth and production and should be done with a balanced fertilizer. Alvarinho vines should also be monitored for pests and diseases, and treated accordingly.
