Exploring Regenerative Agriculture in Priorat: Insights from VIN-Q’s Visit

Silvia — Thu, 13 Apr 2023 06:02:21 +0000

Dr. Vladimir Baulin, Jonathan Minchin, Isadora Schmidt, and Dr. Silvia Planella Conrado visited three vineyards in Priorat to conduct the first fieldwork of the VIN-Q experiment. This region in Catalonia, Spain, is known for producing high-quality red wines and was granted DOCa status in 2003. During the visit, experiments were conducted to analyze soil microorganisms, measure soil humidity and temperature, and obtain aerial images of the vineyard. The first results will be available in three weeks.
