A Year In The Vineyard

The vineyard growing cycle is science in motion, with every stage shaped by temperature, sunlight, water, soil, and the biology of the vine. From budbreak and flowering to fruit set, veraison, and ripening, small changes in weather can influence yield, acidity, sugar development, and flavor. Growers constantly read the vineyard, adjusting canopy, irrigation, crop load, and timing to guide the vine without ever fully controlling it. By harvest, an entire season of plant physiology, climate, and human decisions is captured in the fruit.
