Snow-covered vines at North Mountain Vineyard & Winery ❄️🍷 While the vineyard may look asleep, winter is doing important work.

Snow acts as insulation for the soil and roots, helps protect vines from extreme temperature swings, and slowly releases moisture as it melts. Cold winters support full vine dormancy and naturally reduce pest pressure, setting the stage for healthy growth come spring 🤍
