September
Year Cycle of Seasons in a Vineyard

For most wineries, September is harvest time. The actual harvest date depends on the rain cycle and the temperature. Winemakers will go out daily to check the BRIX, or sugar content, of the grapes. A rain around harvest time can literally dilute the grape flavor, as the water from the rain soaks into each grape.
