Overlook Pinot Blanc VR 2
Shoots, Suckering, & Bud’s Biggest Break
box_top.gif
After winter dormancy, the vines begin the process of bud break and the first sign of green in the vineyard emerges in the form of tiny shoots.  Budbreak usually occurs in Carmel Valley from late March to early April.   Work in the vineyard turns to suckering or shoot thinning. The crew passes through the vineyards and removes unwanted shoots by hand. With fewer shoots in the way, the filtered light can penetrate inside the canopy. This process allows for better ripening of the fruit, intensity of flavors, and increased overall health of the vine. The fruit clusters that will eventually become the 2013 Hilltop Ranch Estate Pinot Noir will yield about 1.7 tons per acre.
