D6: Introduction to Hybrids and PIWI Wines with Sam Doncaster
Sam Doncaster works with the Freytag grapevine nursery in Germany, who grow and supply grapevine cuttings across Europe. In this first episode we discuss the history to hybrid grape crossings and vine experimentation pre and post-phylloxera. In actual fact when Europeans began moving to America from the 1860s, taking grapevines with them, they found Vitis Vinifera didn't always grow, and had already started to breed hybrids before phylloxera hit European vineyards and grafting Vitis Vinifera onto American rootstocks became common practice.
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.
