FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The MaxiCut program is typically charged on a metre basis. The cost can vary depending on a number of factors including the size of the vine, if it is a single or double cordon, the block layout, the services required, etc. In order to provide an accurate quote, we need information specific to the vineyard and it's requirements, and may need to do a site assessment prior.

Signs of Eutypa infection typically include stunted shoots with pale or yellowing leaves that may become cupped and ragged at the edges. Grape clusters on infected shoots may ripen unevenly, resulting in small or even shrivelled and deceased grapes. When cutting through the cordon for inspection, Eutypa often reveals distinct dark brown, wedge-shaped areas of dead wood.

Yields can vary year-to-year based on a number of factors. However, the MaxiCut Vineyard Rejuvenation Program does not cause a loss of production, but in fact we typically see a 50-100% increase in fruit production, even within the first year of the program!

The MaxiCut Vineyard Rejuvenation program allows for the complete removal of vine disease over 1-2 pruning seasons, depending on the level of infection within the vines. This ensures that the rejuvenation process does not cause any production loss throughout the program.

We are currently only operating within South Australia. However, if you have a vineyard based outside of SA that you are wanting to rejuvenate, we would love to hear from you as we’re open to the possibility of travelling interstate.

Currently, the MaxiCut unit is not available for purchase. We provide the complete end-to-end service including all the materials, machinery and labour force. That being said, if you are interested in purchasing the unit, please get in contact for further discussion.
