In the vineyards

Throughout the year, the vines grow, the grapes change color and ripen. Activities in the vineyards follow this seasonal rhythm. During the harvest, the work in the vineyards has a worldwide following. The rest of the year, many other tasks such as planting, pruning, and disease prevention, while less publicized, are equally important in the making of an excellent wine.
