February
In the vineyard pruning continues while vines are dormant. Trellises, stakes and wires are mended. Farmers plan new and replacement grapevine plantings.
In the winery barrels are "topped up" with extra wine to reduce the air space caused by evaporation and wine contraction in the cold weather. Topping up helps prevent oxidation. Wine samples from barrels are analyzed for quality. This regime varies by winery but occurs at different time points throughout the process.
