Why is autumn a key season for wine production?

Once the hard days of the harvest are over, the farms are stained with warm colors: ochers, oranges and yellows begin to predominate against the backdrop of the Andes Mountains, with their steep stone walls.

The vineyard perceives the drop in temperatures and prepares for a rest periodThe nutrients migrate from the annual parts, such as the leaves that will fall with the arrival of autumn, to the permanent parts such as the trunks and taproots, which will face the following seasons.
Thus, after the harvest – with all the energy expenditure it meant to produce and fill bunches – plants slow down their metabolism and are preserved until a new warm season invites them to bear new fruits, in a renewed cycle.

As they lose their leaves, the time for new work begins. Thus, in the months following the harvest, work is carried out in the following months. such as nutritional intervention, irrigation tasks and mulching application to improve soil structure for the following season.

The nutritional intake will be of great help for the new cycle. -beginning with root growth and sprouting since the plant initiates it without functional leaves, i.e, without the ability to process nutrients.
Hasta que los brotes que alcancen por lo menos los 15 ó 20 cms, la vid debe valerse de la reserva de nutrientes almacenada en el ciclo anterior.

The irrigation tasks, which had been interrupted prior to which had been interrupted prior to harvest to ensure the concentration of tannins and polyphenols, are resumed at this stage, as well as work to preserve the soil, and polyphenols, are resumed at this stage, as well as the work aimed at preserving the soil..
Buscando siempre trabajar cuidando la naturaleza, se realizan tareas such as the application of a layer of pomace to allow the soil to that allows the soil to cope with the new conditions of the coming cycle.

Autumn is already with us.
The days are getting cooler and the sky in Tupungato is clear and immense.
Nature is getting ready for the well-deserved break, the vines begin to go to sleep, but our work continues, safeguarding this promising rest. so that the best fruits will give us the best wine..
