At @CatenaScience experiments like this are not about replacing nature with technology.
They are about understanding how climate conditions influence grape and wine quality, so we can better preserve nature, culture, and terroir in a changing climate.
How much shade is enough? We are comparing 17% and 50% shade nets with unnetted vines.
A preview of Miguel's work is featured in @SevenFiftyDaily. Check out the link: goo.su/gHgga

Las variedades criollas no son una nota al pie en la historia del vino argentino.
Son un reservorio vivo de diversidad genΓ©tica, cultural y territorial.
Preservarlas no es nostalgia: es una forma de mantener abiertas opciones para el futuro de la viticultura.
Β‘Gran trabajo!
Did you know nearly 30% of Argentinaβs vineyards are planted with #Criolla varieties? La Marchigiana explores old vines of Criolla varieties to preserve genetic diversity. This week in Buenos Aires, we shared our work at #ArgentinaReloaded. βOriana Zamora, winemaker

Great explanation of #malbecargentino massale selections! @alevigilmalbec @CatenaMalbec @WineFolly #malbecworldday
Clones make wine predictable, but Massale selection makes it sing. Letβs step into the vineyard together.
Most modern vineyards rely on clones (identical copies); massale selection uses cuttings from multiple neighboring vines. Each vine carries subtle genetic differences, producing wines with layered complexity and character unique to its vineyard. Mutations and natural selection allow vines to respond to their specific terroir, creating a dynamic ecosystem rather than a formulaic field. Massale selection shows that terroir isnβt just geology or weather β itβs the diversity and vitality of the plants themselves.
