Lazy Days of Summer
As we enjoy the lazy days of summer, it’s anything but lazy at our vineyard. While we might be taking it easy, our vines are hard at work, and there’s plenty happening in the fields.
**Vine Growth and Veraison** During these summer months, the vines are in a crucial phase of their growth cycle. The process of veraison, where grapes change color and begin to ripen, is in full swing. This is a critical time as the grapes start to accumulate sugars and develop their flavors.
**Canopy Management** We’re also focused on canopy management, which involves trimming and positioning the vine leaves. This ensures optimal sunlight exposure and air circulation for the grapes, reducing the risk of disease and promoting even ripening. It’s meticulous work, but it pays off in the quality of our wines.
**Pest and Disease Control** With the warm weather, pests and diseases can be more prevalent. Our team is vigilant, using sustainable practices to keep these threats at bay. Regular inspections and timely interventions are key to maintaining the health of our vineyard.
All this hard work ensures healthy vines and fruit resulting in spectacular wine.
Stay tuned for more updates on our vineyard activities and upcoming events. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we hope to see you at the Schoolhouse soon!
