In the vineyard clippings may be taken from dormant vines for propagation in the spring. Winter pruning often begins and ends in January.
In the winery, early tastings take place to assess the progression and quality of different lots of wine. Malolactic fermentation or conversion is underway for most reds and the white wine, Chardonnay. The malolactic conversion phase introduces lactic bacteria cultures to convert malic acid into softer lactic acid into the winemaking process after initial fermentation is complete.
