Mid-May in the Estate Vineyard: The Race to the Sun ☀️🌱

Right now at our single-vineyard estate in the Dundee Hills of Oregon, our fruit shoots are racing upward. But as they grow taller, they become top-heavy and incredibly vulnerable to the spring winds. 💨  To protect them, the farming team is moving the trellis wires down to the first position. Think of this wire as the skeleton – the foundation that trains the shoots to grow perfectly straight.  By tucking them in, we do two critical things:  1. Ensure Upward Growth: Keeping the canopy organized so the leaves get maximum sunlight. ☀️  2. Promote Airflow: Allowing that beautiful Dundee Hills breeze to sweep through the rows, which naturally prevents mildew and keeps the canopy clean and healthy. 🍃  It’s all about laying the groundwork now for a healthy, vibrant 2026 vintage. 🍇✨

Cheers from LucidWild Estate! 🥂
