Vineyard

Field record

The record of every measure carried out on a management unit that the law requires — in winegrowing, per parcel.

The German name comes from arable farming, where a Schlag is a contiguous worked area. In winegrowing it is the parcel or the block.

What gets recorded is what happened on that area: plant protection, fertilisation, soil work, harvest. The purpose is not control but traceability — from the bottle back to the row.

The record has to be kept for three years. What matters is less that it exists than that it can be found: an inspection asks about one particular application on one particular parcel two years ago.
