The Great British Vineyards Guide to Frost Protection

Gaia Underfloor Heating

At Gaia, we understand how important a vineyard frost protection system is.

Frosts can wreak havoc on tender buds when they are at their most vulnerable. In order to protect your crop, it is important to find a solution which can give you complete peace of mind that your crop is safe – “it’s not fun, growing a crop worth up to £100,000 and one night of neglect could destroy it”. With several alternatives available, it is important to choose a long-lasting and cost-effective option.

With over 30 years experience we have a solution which can protect your crop and it comes with a 20 year
