On December 25, 2021, it started snowing in Chateau Nine Peaks from 3 am, and the snowfall lasted for about 10 hours, mainly in the morning, and the snow stopped after noon. The amount of snowfall was about 10 mm.

Thick snow covers the entire vineyard land, which can reduce the loss of heat from the soil and block the intrusion of cold air on the snow surface.

Increase the soil water content and air humidity, greatly reducing the phenomenon of freezing damage and dry branches.

When snow is melting, the nitrogen compounds in the air are brought into the soil and can be transformed into good natural fertilizers.

When the snow is melting, the external heat needs to be consumed to lower the temperature of the micro area, which can kill some overwintering germs and insect eggs.

At present, the main tasks in the vineyard of C9P are picking stones, burying the vines (only at the foot of the vines here), and preparing the ground.

We plan to start our winter pruning after New Year's Day.
