Wooly buds: the promise of the beginning of another exciting journey... The wooly bud stage signals the start of the growing season in the vines. As the soil warms, and the sap rises, the buds begin to swell as the vines awaken from their winter slumber. As the buds emerge they have a protective wooly coating to protect them from the spring frosts. When the buds develop further we enter into budburst, which is a great time to visit the vineyard as it brings life and colour to the vines, signifying the promise of the year ahead. #vineyard #winemaking
