The Roots of Fine Wine
Resistant rootstocks are an elegant biological
solution to the problem of growing European
wine grapes (Vitis vinifera) in the presence
of otherwise destructive soil pests, notably
grapevine phylloxera. These rootstocks belong
to American families of Vitis species. Creating a
prosperous vineyard requires understanding how
vine physiology, site conditions and viticultural
practices all combine to impact vine balance and
wine quality. This class will examine important
viticultural issues from the rootstock’s point
of view, whereby wine is the result of water’s
journey from darkness into light through a
labyrinth of hidden passages.
