Benza Vineyards
United States
Registrace 16. 05. 2020
Benza Vineyards is the culmination of Ron & Trish's dream to own their own vineyard and make premium wine in the Willamette Valley of Oregon.
Today Benza Vineyards produces a number of select Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris wines, including traditional method sparkling brut that express the unique soil characteristics of the newly designated Laurelwood AVA: Laurelwood soil (wind blown loess from the ice age) on top of volcanic Jory. Together they allow for our vines to express some of the very best Oregon has to offer.
Our 15-acre patch of heaven is located only 35 minutes from downtown Portland, next door to Ruby Vineyard. We hope you’ll come see us when it’s time!

The reason our vines are grafted and why we burn our wood
You repeat the same mistakes of other vineyards. First mistake: The leaves provide the sugar and food for the grapes and roots. By cutting the leaves off you put the vine on a diet. Second mistake: You let the leaves tower above the ripening grapes, putting the grapes into the shades and the uncut branches and leaves in full sunshine. Why? Because you don't think independently and just do what everyone does. Third mistake: Your grapes grow on the level of your belly, making you bend over to cut the ripe grapes. You will have a bad back when you have done this work 30 years. Allow the grapes on the level of your chest or higher, using a ladder. Allow the new leaders and new growth to grow UNDER the grapes, using the empty space under the grapes. Fourth mistake: You grow only monocrops. The area under the grapes has space to plant red, white or black currants. These you can pick in June - July. The earliest grapes you pick at the end of august - october. After picking the currants, you bend the new grapeleaders down along the berrybushes. Mistake Five: By having the blooms of grapes unprotected, they are vulnerable for late frost. The new growth of currant bushes will protect the grapeblooms from frost, also because the blooms are higher up now. Mistake Six: By using machines to work the vineyard, you compact the earth and make bad cuts, making the grapevines contract weak and open for pests and fungus. Mistake Seven: By using famous varietals and not PIWI varietals, you have to spend a lot of hours tending the vineyard. I hope to have woken you up for a better way of growing grapes. I am a coach by profession and a gardener. I use different methods in my mixed fruit garden with 85 grape varietals. coachfmvos@gmail.com
👍👍👍
How about the roots? This machine hurts the roots of the tree.
useful information, thanks
Great video of how you built the building. I was hoping to see more about the actual product.
Informative video, well presented. Thank you!
Thank you !
Are you tipping before Bloom spray or after?
Thank youuuu
Here in SoCal, we have Mockingbirds, and they don't care about my Falcon Kite or much else. They will even try to attack the RedTailed and Coopers Hawks around here. We bought fruit-zone netting last year, and they even got INSIDE it. I'll be trying again with fruit zone netting this year, fastened with tag barbs at close intervals, plus some spacers on the T-posts to hold the nets away from the fruit. Here's something about Mockingbirds: www.pbssocal.org/redefine/an-intro-to-mockingbirds-the-noisiest-most-aggressive-small-bird-youll-ever-meet
Thank you! We lost every bit of our super small crop last year, here in NC! I was so looking forward to making some grape jelly! I am just searching the internet for some ideas, to help save our small crop! Thank you again!
Nice video! Would love to see a tour of the winery with the layout of tanks, tools, offices, etc. Cheers from a small winery in southern Chile.
PRAY FOR ISRAEL. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOUR SINS AND ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE IN HIS HOUSEHOLD? THEN PLEASE REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS TODAY AND SURRENDER YOUR ENTIRE LIFE TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. NOBODY IS OUT OF THE CANDIDACY FOR BECOMING A CHRISTIAN.
How much cost did you get to plant this whole project?
This is a great video, and explains how it is used and how you use it in your vineyard. Question. Once you have thrown the soil under the vines, what method will you use to remove/flatten the vineyard floor soil later?
I thought it had to really explode out when disgorging
hi, do you have the audioscrpt for this video? the transcrip is not accurate
I can't hear you. 😕.
My grape start flowering after three year but some of the flower wilt,can you help
Phosphorus and potassium
what is the name and brand of the device you used for hedging? I have inherited something different and it only does one side of the row as I drive through it with my tractor. Thanks

Wow. I’ve been studying for about a year and have never seen the process. Thank you for making this. Incredibly educational!
I was looking for a video tutorials on bow to prune grapes and yt suggests your video
czcams.com/video/Qm-cWv_rhTI/video.html This is my grape farm
I'm from India I'm also grape 🍇 farmer... I want know ur Technics ..
Plz make video on foundation of vineyard
Great video! Q1: After disgorging, when adding sugar to the dosage - will this cause a 3rd fermentation in the bottle, or does disgorging prevent the wine from fermenting again? Q2: After topping off, how does the sparkling wine keep its carbonation and how long will the sparkling wine stay carbonated?
Usually the sulfites added at this stage which believe me they are added will kill off any remaining yeast.
This looks like it can also work in an orchard. We grow organically and weeds are a bad issue.
I use one in the vineyards and in my olive orchards with an extension pole I built…
Thx from india
You had me at Weed Ho
hi Sir I want to buy grapes from you Will you sell grapes?
Wow amazing
How much does the tool cost
Everything German (European) is usually overpriced and for the most part over-engendered, this tool new with the mid mount carrying system runs over 15k. I bought one used on German classifieds for 350 without the mount and built my mount adopted to my Kubota B2410.
beautiful
Thanks

Nice❤️
Thank you ..
Your videos are a wonderful way to learn about the workings of your vineyard. Thank you!
You're welcome!
We had geese that would steal the grapes. Such little characters
Thank you Ron! This is disturbing news. I grew up on a farm/ranch. My dad had crop insurance-do vineyards usually have it? I know wine must be a different agricultural crop but it is a crop! Interesting!
Vineyards are eligible for it, yes.
😢
Very glad to get this update from you. Ecstatic that the fire was contained and stopped. I hope that the grapes are fine and that you have a great harvest. Your determination will be the difference.
Stay safe. 🙏🙏🙏 for rain
