As I've been trimming the vines, I have been removing the short shoots, weak shoots, crowded shoots and the late bloomers.


I googled the Ravaz index,  I misunderstood at first and thought it was summer pruning weight not winter pruning weight.  I'll pay more attention to winter pruning this year.  Previous years I haven't done a lot of winter pruning since I've been letting the vines spread out.  This year all the vines have gone about as far as I want so I expect this years winter pruning to be more volume.  Previous years Ravaz index is probably close to 20.


It's tough to compare "vineyard" systems and yields to my  plants since mine are more like a pergola trained system. 


I appreciate the input.
