It's been a while since my last blog, Easter came and went and my son's baptism also came and went. So a lot of family time over these last few weeks which is always great + some wine on the side.
These last few weeks, I've also been researching the oldest vines in Australia and this title goes to Yalumba in South Australia's, Barossa Valley.
We'll start with the Barossa Old Vine Charter. This charter was introduced so that the age of vines can be distinguished between the various ages of the vine itself, within the Barossa Region, i.e. at 35 years of age you get an Old Vine, 70 year old vine is a Survivor Vine, 100 year old vine is a Centenarian Vine, 125 year old vine is an Ancestor Vine.
Now, this isn't cemented, it's like "The Pirate's Code" in Pirates of the Caribbean. They're more like guidelines but can still be taken seriously. This is a great start, opposed to the the many laws in Europe. Here is the link to the video that explains in detail the Barossa Old Vine Charter.
