Let's Grow - Spring Awakening in the Vineyard

The buds are swelling with energy, and you can see in the photo—La Crescent is right on the verge of pushing. The buds are just beginning to open, revealing soft green leaves and the promise of the season ahead. We are holding back just a bit, giving the bottom buds a little more time to open up, but we’re just days away from pruning.

Timing is everything. In just a few days, we’ll begin cutting back to ensure each vine is balanced and ready to focus its energy where it counts. La Crescent will go first, and we expect the rest of the vineyard to follow closely behind, no doubt.

This is that electric moment in the vineyard season—a quiet before the storm. There’s a tension in the vines, a sense that everything is about to burst to life. That means it’s time to sharpen the shears, walk the rows with intention, and make those final calls before the real work begins.

Let’s grow.
