Question: I know from your excellent Blog that you like old vines. What is happening with producing a list of them?
Answer: Yes, a very timely question! Just launched is an OLD VINE REGISTRY (initially funded by the Jackson Family Wines) that is a valuable growing database reference resource for all of us. It already lists some 2200 vineyards around the world led by Portugal far ahead with more than 800. They have used a rather low 35-year-old minimum vine age. Lots more vineyards than on the initial launch already are exceeding that level. An excellent review dated June 29, 2023 on Wine-Searcher has been posted by Wink Lorch here.
