Great article again, thank you Simon! I always start a visit in the vineyards if getting the opportunity, and as you say it gets the conversation going. I share your thoughts on “messy looking” vineyards as well, thankfully it seems like a variation in cover crops is getting more and more common. Or is it possibly that I now always tend only to visit wineries that encourage biodiversity in the vineyards to create wines with soul and complexity, not sure… Surprisingly often though, I still come across organic producers with monovarietal vineyards with single clones, rather than massal selelected from a number of different old vines. Any thoughts on this and resilience to a changing climate?
