Sustainability starts in the vineyard. Precision defines everything we do.
At Byington, our winemaking team approaches every detail with a 100-point mindset—long before a single grape reaches the cellar. What you’re seeing here is winter pruning, a critical practice carried out during vine dormancy from January through March.
Thoughtful timing is everything. Pruning just before bud break helps prevent excessive sap flow (“bleeding”) while protecting fresh cuts from winter frost. These decisions don’t just impact this year’s crop—they shape the long-term health, balance, and structure of the vine.
Proper winter pruning determines yield, fruit quality, and vine longevity, ensuring our vineyards remain healthy and expressive for generations to come. Sustainability isn’t a trend for us—it’s a commitment woven into every cut, every vine, every vintage.
🍇 Great wine is grown, not rushed.
