Try These Field Blends!
Before varietal bottlings and modern cuvée blends, there were field blends. For centuries, grape varieties grew side-by-side in a vineyard. Old world wine makers planted some for ripeness, some for acidity, and others for color. That helped ensure that an entire year's harvest couldn't be lost if environmental conditions affected one or more of the grape varieties. It was also a way to maintain consistent quality long before technological advances made it easier to do so. Though field blends are less common today, the tradition lives on in certain wine regions such as Austria, the Duoro Valley, and even Napa and Sonoma. Try out some of our favorites below.
