The beginning of veraison

The grapes began to change appearance, and particularly colour, in late July, a process called veraison. A physiological stage in the growth cycle, this is when the red grapes turn from green to red and the white grapes turn from opaque green to translucent green or golden yellow.

At the end of veraison, the grapes begin to mature. Aroma compounds develop, sugar levels rise, and acidity drops.

Our technical team closely monitors the growth of our grapes.
