Spring in the Sky

Spring is an exciting time of year, and in March it has arrived at Vinícola El Cielo and the vines are in bloom. In this text, we will discuss how spring influences the countryside and what visitors can expect during this time of year.

During the winter, the vines sleep.

During this season, the vines are pruned and freed of leaves and shoots. This rest allows the sap to flow through the stems towards the end of winter and when temperatures begin to rise, and the weeping process begins, when small drops of sap come out of the shoots, which is where new leaves will sprout with the arrival of spring.

Perfect microclimate.

During spring, temperatures begin to gradually rise, awakening the vine from its winter dormancy and causing it to grow vigorously. It is the key season for viticulture, as it marks the beginning of the vine's growth cycle. At El Cielo, the vineyards are surrounded by hills and mountains that provide a perfect microclimate for grape growth.

There is a significant risk of losing the crop.

The vine flowers during spring and it is a crucial time in the growth cycle. During flowering, the vines produce clusters of flowers that will eventually become grapes. It is important that the conditions are optimal during flowering, as any stress on the vine can negatively affect the quality and quantity of the harvest. There is a significant risk of losing the harvest due to spring frosts. To this end, El Cielo has installed fans to change the direction of the winds so that the frosts do not affect the new shoots.
