In agriculture, each change of cycle invites us to get excited and to keep in mind that we are working with plants that evolve differently and manifest their state at each moment. This phenomenon is especially evident in the vineyards of Clos Pons, where the transition of veraison becomes a unique visual and viticultural spectacle.
Veraison is one of these cycle transitions where hormonal and physiological changes become very visible. It produces the change in color and composition of the grape berries: the concentration of sugars increases as the concentration of acids decreases, and the accumulation of anthocyanins and tannins begins, which are essential components for the quality of our wines. This natural phenomenon, fundamental for grape ripening, marks the beginning of maturation and becomes a true spectacle every year in the vineyards of Clos Pons.
Depending on the weather and the uniformity of veraison, we can draw some conclusions about how the plant has reached this crucial moment and its qualitative potential. With veraison completed, we can predict the harvest time with more accuracy.
In conclusion, veraison marks the beginning of grape maturation, a process that culminates in the renewed joy of harvest. It is a reminder that each cycle brings with it the promise of a new crop and the hope of an exceptional wine. At Clos Pons, veraison not only marks the beginning of grape maturation but also celebrates the connection between the land, the climate, and the winery’s viticultural passion.
