Tasting recap: old vines

As vines age on a well-suited terroir, the fruit they produce becomes different with age. As the roots dig down to source nutrients at lower depths, the grapes often become more complex and nuanced, as the vines slowly begin to produce less fruit. This combination of intense and concentrated fruit with the nuances of deep-root nutrients can create incredible wine experiences.
