Last week we had a lively discussion in our taste and talk session about varietal mistakes. You all know the story about Albarino and Savagnin. Well that wasn’t the only episode where a nursery stuff ups had a widespread impact on many grape growers and winemakers.
If you want to see the brief slide presentation that I prepared for varietal Mistakes you can find it via my page of articles on Vinodiversity, along with the presentations about Workhorse Varieties and an update on some Rare Ozzies. Check them out here.
On Thursday 21 October we will be discussing Mystery Varieties. - few of the 180+ wine grape varieties used in Australia don’t have a name and apparently nobody knows what they are.
