Spring Has Sprung at Tranche Vineyards


 The lighting is just right on our sign at the entryway



 Posts placed for new plantings

Since the weather was absolutely gorgeous Friday afternoon, it seemed like a good idea to pop over to our vineyard and check in on the new plantings. James, our vineyard manager, and his crew have been hard at work installing the posts, and once the vines are bigger we'll run the trellis wire. What currently looks like sticks in the ground, will soon grow into phenomenal fruit producing vines! We have planted some exciting and truly fun varietals: Viognier, Marsanne, Clairette Blanc, Picpoul Blanc, Grenache Blanc, and Rousanne. 

Since it was so nice out and I was already there, I decided to check out some of our other vines that have already been pruned, are embracing the Spring spirit, and are in the beginning stages their growing season. What a lovely way to end the work week!
