As a 5th generation winemaker at the prestigious vineyard Vilagrad in the Waikato, Jacob Nooyan has seen the vineyard go from strength to strength. However, eight years ago the vineyards vines were struggling. They stuck to the traditional path and did the required soil and foliar testing and would apply fertilizer to beat the problems, but the vines were still having a hard time.

Jacob says it was surprising how quickly they noticed the changes in the vines. He had expected that changes might take months, but the results came much sooner.

Two to three weeks was all it took to see the results in the color of the leaves on the vines after we had sprayed the seaweed.

Jacob says “coming up to harvest we will spray the vineyard with AgriSea. It is like Red Bull for the vines, giving them a real push to ripen the fruit.”
