D1: The Vine: Background: Jose Vouillamoz DNA Mapping of Grapes
Jose explains how DNA profiling of grapes works. Grape DNA profiling has only been developed in recent years and was first carried out in 1993 in Australia and later in California at UC Davis. In 1997 a paper was published revealing Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc as the parents of Cabernet Sauvignon and Jose tells us the story of how in 2009 the second, missing parent of Merlot was discovered.
I thought the questions were excellent, an extremely valuable revision tool. They really helped highlight areas I thought I had revised and understood but clearly had not, which has enabled me to focus on key areas to revisit and study before going into the exam... I think it is a great resource and an essential revision aid for any WSET 3 students wishing to gain a competitive edge and successfully pass the WSET 3 exam.
