In Spain, we have a saying that says that when it snows one year, that year will be a good one, but, can we extrapolate this to the vineyard?
Sure we can. The snow and frost protect the plant and provide water reserves for the future.
Snowfall will protect the vineyards against insects, fungi and harmful parasites; It will also act as a disinfectant, cleaning the wood.
With frosts we have to be more careful, depending on the time of the year in which they happen, they can kill the plant tissues and damage its buds.
Here we can see photos of the snowfall that happened from February the 4th to February the 6th in the San Asensio (La Rioja Alta). Now there are still small traces of snow, and small ponds are produced in the fields by the melting of the snow.
