🍇 Monte Bello Harvest 🍇

Watch our new video on YouTube! bit.ly/23HarvestMBYT

Hear from Viticulturist Kyle Theriot, #Winemaker Trester Goetting, and Chairman Paul Draper as crews #harvest chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon from #MonteBello in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

This is the time of year when #grape scion wood gets introduced to rootstock wood. Grapevine nurseries are busy collecting wood & grafting plants for new vineyards. Once callous has formed, graft unions are waxed to protect & retain moisture. 1000's of plants are made in a day

IN THE VINEYARD WITH WALT VITICULTURIST, SARAH LANSING 🍇
'The vines are currently dormant. This is the best time of the season for us to do soil testing for nutrients. We will begin pruning this month to set the vines up for our upcoming season!'

Cheers 🍷🍷

Viticulturist Stan Grant explains tilling and not tilling. Tillage is a 'root zone resource management activity,' while non-tillage is mainly environmental. The complex choice is best informed by primary management challenges and goals. #graperesearch bit.ly/40hw99N

Currently happening in the vineyard: thinning🌱

Shoot thinning is the first step in canopy management and a crucial practice for optimal grape development. Viticulturist Jordan Lonborg explains the process here.

Spend 60 seconds  #InTheVineyard  with Viticulturist Mauro Maldonado learning about cover crops in an #organic setting. 🌱

Viticulturist Mauro Maldonado is taking advantage of the upcoming chance of rain by sowing our cover crop in #Sonoma .

This cover crop will create biomass and fix nitrogen to be incorporated into our #soils and used by the #vines next spring.

At our winery, we employ a proactive approach to maintaining and bettering the microclimate we are so fortunate to have!🌳

Brian Evers, our viticulturist, uses a protocol for integrated pest management developed with support from World Wildlife Fund Canada.

In a 2-part post, viticulturist Stan Grant notes that #canopymanagement is a newer practice, intro'd in the 1980s, leading to improved fruit quality and vine and vineyard production efficiency. Are greater and more consistent gains possible? #graperesearch is.gd/nHi287

Why worry about erosion? Viticulturist Stan Grant says, “The soil nearest the surface is the most structured, permeable, microbial-active and fertile part of a vineyard root zone. (Its) erosion represents a reduction of root zone function.” #graperesearch tinyurl.com/3fnjmxj4

Viticulturist Jordan Lonborg wishes you a Happy Earth Day on behalf of Tablas Creek! We love his advice. Today is a day to be thankful for this planet we live on. Today is for less technology and more nature. Step outside and take it all in. Thank you, Earth.

At Ernie Els, we believe that great wines start in the vineyard. Our viticulturist, Leander Koekemoer, can often be seen wandering the slopes ensuring our vines are in great shape.
