Anyone who observes a vineyard closely notices that the vine lives in harmony with the seasons. Each phase of its cycle is an essential chapter in the creation of great wines, and it is precisely in the transition between winter and spring that nature begins to pulsate with greater force. Discover the awakening of spring in the vineyards of Casa Marques Pereira!
The Winter Rest: The Latent Wait
During autumn and winter, the grapevine enters a period of vegetative dormancy. The leaves fall, the branches become bare, and the plant rests silently, accumulating energy in its roots and trunks. It is a time when nature seems to fall asleep, but inside, life continues to lie dormant, preparing for rebirth. This dormancy is crucial for the vine's vigor in the coming season.
The Rebirth of Spring: The Beginning of Sprouting
With the arrival of spring, everything changes. The heat increases, the days get longer, and the sap begins to circulate again: it's the beginning of budding , or "sprouting."
The first buds emerge, breaking through the dormant shoots—a spectacle that delights those who walk among the rows of vines at Casa Marques Pereira. Small leaves and flowers sprout, giving the first signs of the bunches that, months later, will transform into ripe, flavorful grapes. Spring marks the beginning of a new harvest.
October: Renewal and Growth in the Vineyards
In October, our vineyards experience precisely this moment of renewal. The plants are emerging from dormancy and entering the active growth phase, when each leaf and each bud announces a new harvest that is beginning to take shape.
The soil breathes, life returns, and the careful work of management and observation intensifies—ensuring that each vine receives the perfect balance of sun, water, and nutrients. This is a period of attention and hope: each bud carries the promise of the wines that will be born in the coming months. It is the beginning of a journey that will culminate in glasses full of aroma, color, and emotion.
