Spring is showing off beautifully at Riverbench Vineyard & Winery. The vineyard is lush, and the growing season is moving right along.

In the vineyard, we’re beginning to see bunch closure across our various Pinot Noir and Chardonnay clones. This is an exciting milestone that signals healthy development in the vines. Our crews have also started hand leafing in the Chardonnay blocks, carefully opening the canopies to encourage better sunlight exposure and increased airflow throughout the fruit zone.

Every detail in the vineyard plays a role in crafting the wines to come, and spring is one of the most exciting times to watch it all unfold.
