The stages of the vines
Budburst
This time of the year is known as 'Budburst'. It's when our vines wake from winter dormancy to begin a new growing season.
Vines Flower
Over these months the vines flower, producing a beautiful smell across the vineyard and then produce tiny bunches. By late October to early November, the fruit sets.
Grapes Develop
At this stage, our developing grapes look like small green peas. It's difficult to imagine that these hard green berries will be turned into wine come the new year.
veraison
This period of time is known as 'veraison' - where the ripening berries become soft and fleshy, and begin to turn their purple, red and golden colours.
Harvest
Harvest, or vintage, starts in February and continues to around May - however, this can change dramatically depending on the weather conditions.
Dormancy
With the grapes harvested and the weather turning cold, the vines slowly return to their dormant state. Hand-pruning continues.
