The Vineyard: Roses are put at the ends of the grapevine rows because they are more susceptible to the same diseases as the grapevines. The wine maker knows that if the roses show a disease that the grapevines are next and gives him time to take the appropriate steps to save the grapes.
The Celler: Wines spend usually 12-18 months in oak barrels that will add structure and help flavor the wine.
