Blushing Beauties

Oh – they’re starting to blush. Just as lovely as can be! And, this is such a significant event in the vineyard that there’s a name for it: veraison.

They’re still awfully sour, but this beginning blush tells us that the sugar is on its way up and the acid is on its way down. Before you know  it Geoff , our Winemaker, will be gathering samples for tasting and analysis and that first load of grapes will be knocking on our door! Here’s to the 2010 harvest!

Goosecross: Pruning Time in the Vineyard

February 21, 2010 by  
Filed under Blog, Videos

In this 2-minute video our Winemaker, Geoff Gorsuch, does a show and tells of when and how he prunes the vines. He references the term “buds” several times. For each bud left after he prunes, a shoot will emerge in the spring. He can expect that each shoot will produce one to three clusters of grapes. Enjoy!
