Ep 318: High Altitude Wines




Wine for Normal People show

Summary: High altitude wines are often discussed in the wine world, but what REALLY defines high altitude? There are a lot of features that would make a region qualify but the keys to determining “high elevation” are latitude and altitude and their cross section. In this ultra-dorky show, we discuss the genetic adaptation and metabolic changes that happen in high altitude grapes and how it affects flavor, body, and character of the wines they make.
