Buzz In The Organic Vineyard 2024
Replants With Vigor
Thibido Vineyard is buzzing with activity with spring just arriving. Certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers, our vineyard is a rich ecosystem of sustainability and beauty. Grower and winemaker Josh Beckett, has spent some time on the hills of the Thibido estate pruning, checking irrigation lines, replanting a few vines, and herding sheep!
Sheep Show
Welcoming sheep into the vineyard is an exciting part of our organic approach. These woolly companions play a crucial role, minimizing tractor usage and curbing our carbon footprint. They chomp down the organic cover crop while contributing organic fertilizer and enriching the soil. Their presence not only enhances sustainability but also adds old world charm to the estate views.
Replanting Vines
Despite the challenges of gophers and jackrabbits nibbling on young vines, Josh is dedicated to the success of the Thibido vineyard, ensuring a bountiful 2024 harvest. He spends as much time as he can on the property, scouring every block of the vineyard to repair and replace irrigation lines and replant vines that have fallen victim to those “whasky wabbits”. The recent winter rains, a consistent blessing, have replenished our aquifer and primed the vineyard for an exceptional spring. With Josh’s careful eye, the vineyard is in prime shape for the next season of growth Anticipation fills the air as bud break draws near, promising a vibrant display of new vigor and a bountiful harvest.
