In the past few weeks, there have been exciting signs of the arrival of spring in our vineyard. It is the time when grapevines "bleed", a moving sight in the whole of their growth cycle. This "bleeding" is a signal that the period of winter dormancy is over and that the vine is gradually coming back to life. Bleeding marks the start of bud break in vines when the plant re-triggers its activity from its root system.
Yesterday, there were clear signs of bud break or bud burst on all but the Albarino vines, which remain fairly dormant if they are still alive. I would classify 9 April as the official day for bud break this year.
In 2022, It occurred on the 7th of April.
