 CURRENTLY: Bud Break
our grapes start their annual growth cycle in the spring with bud break. Tiny buds on the vine start to swell and eventually shoots begin to grow from the buds. Buds are the small part of the vine that rest between the vine's stem and the petiole (leaf stem). During winter dormancy they turn brown until the spring when the vines begin the process of bud break and the first sign of green in the vineyards emerge.
Bud break arrived at Domaine Serene on Sunday, April 22nd, and, if the recent 80 degree plus days are any indication, we should have a very solid growing season. |
