Vines may be dormant, but wineries are bustling
In the cold, dark days of winter, our grapevines go dormant. The grape vine stops the uptake of water from its roots to keep moisture from freezing and bursting inside the plant cells.

All growth is put on hold to conserve energy for the next growing season.
