   Why does blending 12 clones create better wine?

   Ask the winemaker to explain clone diversity. Different clones bring different aromatics, textures, and structures. Blending 12 clones creates a wine more complete than any single clone could achieve. This connects to the Chapter 14 Clone Wars theme.

   More vines per hectare = less fruit per vine = concentrated wine.

   Ask about their high-density planting philosophy. More vines per hectare means each vine produces less fruit, concentrating flavors. This Burgundian approach is rare in Australia.
