All winegrowing involves human intervention, but\u00a0the question is how much. Natural winegrowing suggests \u201cless is more\u201d \u2013 the less the soil, grapes\u00a0and wines are artificially manipulated, the more the wines can express where they come from.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Pictured (from left): Willie Hoare (Fromm), Jason Flowerday (TWR),\u00a0H\u00e4tsch Kalberer (Fromm), Anna Flowerday (TWR), Claire Allan (Huia), Mike Allan (Huia), Therese Herzog (Herzog), Hans Herzog (Herzog) and MJ Loza (Seresin)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very interesting development in New Zealand&#8217;s Marlborough region.
