Orchard pruning season (apple trees)

Hi guys, this is your winemaker...Sergio Benavides, I would like to tell you a little bit about what we are doing now in our beautiful vineyard and orchard.
Our apple trees have just been pruned. Those apples have been used for our future wine club members as Port Apple currently aging in our French oak barrels as a Reserved Edition !!!!!! 

Our apple trees look beautiful!!!!  spring is coming soon!!!!! Our cherry trees have a little longer to go  before they get pruned. The freshly picked fruit will be used to create a variety of fruit wines.

Yes, all the activities in our vineyard are starting!!! The vines are happy and ready to wake up after this cold winter......
