Hundred-Year-Old Vines

"Eight Hundred Year Old Vines" is a phrase often used to highlight exceptionally old grapevines, some over centuries old, that are still producing grapes. These ancient vines tend to produce fewer grapes, but the fruit is usually more concentrated and complex, resulting in highly prized wines. The age of the vines reflects a long history of cultivation and contributes to unique flavor profiles, often associated with specific regions, vineyards, or winemakers. Their age and maturity are seen as a mark of tradition, craftsmanship, and quality in wine production.
