At the beginning of every spring, the first sign of growth in the vineyard is budbreak.
In Los Sauces, Uco Valley, this happens in late September or early October where, after lying dormant for months, the vineyard turns green within days. Aside from harvest, this is the most exciting time for our team. At this point, buds develop, start to swell and shoots begin to grow tiny leaves that photosynthesize, giving the plant a burst of energy which it leverages to grow as fast as 1 inch (or 3cm) a day.
