Em Profundidade
Before modern viticulture, vineyards typically contained many varieties interplanted. Portugal's Douro Valley and Austria's Gemischter Satz preserve this tradition. Field blends create complex, terroir-expressive wines where each variety contributes different ripening characteristics. The renaissance of field blending reflects interest in biodiversity and traditional practices.
