Growing Grapes For -45 Degrees Celsius

from Beyond Organic Wine Hosted by Beyond Organic Wine

Johannes Pinchbeck is a Canadian grape breeder who lives north of Edmonton, Alberta and develops grapes that can take sub-arctic cold and still be productive. The extremity of his climate introduces aspects of grape growing that seem unbelievable, and that remind me of how mind-blowingly amazing these plants are that have adapted to survive in these conditions. Enjoy this journey to explore a kind of viticulture you probably never imagined possible. This is a public episode.
