This week the bud is swelling after getting some warm
weather. You can see the shot of the bud we have been
watching. It is growing on a spur where there are
two buds. Look at second photo on the right to see the two buds. The spur is attached to a cordon that is attached to the trunk of the vine. See photo on the left.
Typically there are two buds on a spur. From each of these buds comes a cane and each cane will grow two bunches of grapes. So by controlling the number of spurs and buds we can control the number of grape bunches and thus the vineyard yield.
By the way we are releasing our 2010 Grenache Rose. It is a great
summer wine so come taste it.
