The vines are still hibernating, just before they
begin to leaf out in the Spring.
|
In March, before the vines leaf out, grasses
are mowed to bring all nutrients to the vines.
|
The beginning of very tiny clusters of grapes
starting to form in early Spring.
|
Late Spring buds bloom and are ready for
pollination. Then the fruit begins to set.
|
This starts the ripening process, called "veraison". Red wine grapes change from green to red.
|
Some grape bunches are removed creating more intense flavors.
Harvest is mid to late October.
