Wine Making Refined in Southern Utah

Wine Making Refined in Southern Utah "Early spring marks one of the most important transitions of the year at Zion Vineyards.

Bottling of the 2023 vintages is underway, and pruning season has just wrapped — a critical step in maintaining vine health and fruit quality. Pruning is far more than seasonal trimming. It shapes the vine’s structure, encourages balanced new growth, and improves airflow and sun exposure — all essential factors in producing concentrated, high-quality grapes...."

Refining the Grape: Wine Making at Zion Vineyards

Refining the Grape: Wine Making at Zion Vineyards"By Patrick HayesAt Zion Vineyards in July, it is HOT, HOT, HOT! The grapes are ripening beautifully, and we’re looking at some high-quality fruit. Our irrigation system is a drip system allotting a gallon and a half of water per plant per day, with little evaporation. Grapes are like humans—struggle breeds character—so we don’t want to overwater. In July, we give the grapes plenty of water, then dial it back as harvest approaches. This helps the sugar concentration rise, which means higher alcohol content.Harvest at Zion Vineyards starts mid to late August and runs until mid-October.In July, join us for a wine tasting and ask for a tour...."
