Old vines have survived heatwaves, drought, disease pressure, and shifting markets — often with fewer inputs and remarkable consistency. Their resilience isn’t theoretical. But what, exactly, can we learn from them?

In this practical Climate Talk, our guests will share concrete lessons from managing old vineyards under climate stress.

We’ll explore how deep root systems enhance water resilience, why natural vine balance reduces intervention, what genetic diversity offers in terms of adaptation, and how decades of site knowledge translate into smarter decisions today.
