<p dir="auto"><span style="font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif">As we move into the cooler months, our team at Skyline Viticulture is preparing our organically farmed vineyards for the season ahead.

<p>Complete soil testing — including nematode population analysis</p>
</li><li>
<p>Compost applications and soil amendments</p>

<p dir="auto"><span style="font-family:-apple-system,sans-serif">In support of the local ecosystem, we continue to install western bluebird boxes, barn owl boxes, raptor perches, bee boxes, and beneficial insect hedgerows to promote biodiversity and natural pest balance.</span><br></p>
