Winter Work on Pritchard Hill | From Cellar Blends to Vineyard Pruning

Winter settles across Pritchard Hill as the work of a new vintage continues at Chappellet. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL068UMwCb_ujCIdqOKFwhrqXAwP3fU_rU This film captures the rhythm of the winter season at the winery and in the vineyards. Inside the cellar, the team completes the final blending of the red wines before bottling begins. It is a careful and deliberate process that brings the character of the vintage into focus before the wines move into their bottles. Out in the vineyards, another essential task is underway. Crews move methodically down each row, pruning every vine by hand. Each cut shapes the coming season, preparing the vines for healthy growth when spring arrives. Though quieter than harvest, winter remains one of the most important chapters in the life of the vineyard and the winery. From cellar work to vineyard care, the season lays the foundation for everything that follows on Pritchard Hill. #chappellet #napavalley #pritichardhill #winecountry #win
